You must place all
documents in the public_html
directory of your webspace or they won't
be visible to the web.
If you would like to upload files
before your domain gets transferred substitute
the IP number or the specified IP # for
the host name in your ftp program.
To view your site before the domain name
is pointed to your new webspace go to
http://Apexity.com/~UserName
- Substitute for the Username in the setup
e-mail.
You can access your control panel by going
to
http://Apexity.com/cpanel
or http://yoursite.com/cpanel
Substitute the name of your website for
"yoursite.com" Use your ftp username
and password to access your control panel.
Click the "Documentation" link
near the bottom of the control panel to
access support for your control panel.
You can access Site Studio by going to
http://Apexity.com:8080
or http://yoursite.com:8080
Substitute the name of your website for
"yoursite.com" Use your ftp username
and password to access SiteStudio
If you wish to use POP mail with your account
you can set your e-mail client to
incoming mailserver:
mail.yoursite.com
- Substitute the name of your website for
"yoursite.com"
outgoing mailserver:
mail.yoursite.com - Substitute the
name of your website for "yoursite.com"
Again your ftp username / password combination
should work.
Steps to follow once you
can login.
Login to Cpanel by going to http://Apexity.com/cpanel
and providing your username / password.
Set up your e-mail forwarding by setting
a "Default Address" under the
e-mail menu. This will route "anything@yoursite.com"
to any e-mail address you choose.
Set up any specific e-mail forwards you
will need. If you need address1@yoursites.com
to go to a different e-mail address than
address2@yoursite.com set up those forwards,
or set them up as POP e-mail accounts with
the "Manage Accounts" menu in
Cpanel.
If you will be using FrontPage to design
your site click on the "FrontPage Extensions"
link in the Site Management section of Cpanel.
This will allow you to connect to your site
with FrontPage once your domain is resolving
to your web space. (NOTE:
FrontPage extensions will NOT work until
your site is fully active on our servers.)
Design and upload your site.
Manage your site.
If you have any questions or problems contact
support. When contacting support always
include your e-mail address, your domain
name, hosting plan, + Username / Password.
Also provide a detailed description of any
problem you may be having. This helps us
to serve you more quickly
Thank you for choosing Apexity, and good
luck with your new website!
