Once your order is received, we begin work on setting up your new web hosting account. Within a couple hours your hosting account will be ready for use, at which time we'll send you a "Welcome Email" that will contain all the information you need to get started (username, password, etc.). Here is what you should do to get started: 


Step 1 - Domain Name Setup web site host

If you already own your domain name, you have to change it's DNS (Domain Name Server) settings to the ones we give you in your welcome email. For example:

Primary nameserver: dns1.serverstoday.com IP: 209.123.49.192
Secondary nameserver: dns2.serverstoday.com IP: 209.123.49.193

Note: The above assumes you are on our blue.serverstoday.com server. Please consult your welcome email to know what server your account is on, and what your nameservers should be set to.

If you registered your domain name through us, then we will have taken care of this for you... otherwise, you will have to do it yourself through the domain registrar where you registered your domain name. For detailed instructions on changing your domain name's DNS settings, we have put together Flash Support Tutorials showing you how to make these changes at 10 of the more popular domain name registrars. Click here to take a look at these tutorials.
Once you make these changes, it will take 24-36 hours for them to take effect (for your domain name to propagate), at which time your domain name will start web site host to our servers and your new hosting account.
If you register your domain name with us, we will take care of all this for you when we setup your hosting account.



Step 2 - Login to Control Panel

You'll want to login to your control panel to do such things as view web stats, setup email addresses, MySQL databases, etc. To access your control panel, enter http://yourcompany.com/cpanel, followed by your username and password (which are given to you in your welcome email). This will not work until your domain name has fully propagated to our servers.... prior to this, you can login using the Primary nameserver IP number (also given to you in your welcome email), like this: http://209.123.49.192/cpanel (this assumes your Primary nameserver is dns1.serverstoday.com; be sure to check your welcome email to see what server your account is located on).



Step 3 - Setup Email Address(s)

Once you are logged in to your control panel, you'll want to setup at least one email address. If you want to simply "forward" all email to an outside email address (like your ISP email address), then simply set your "Default Address" (located in "Mail Manager") to your ISP email web site host .... where you want the emails to automatically be forwarded to. That way, any email sent to 'anything'@yourdomain.com will be automatically (and immediately) sent to you.
If you want to create a new email address with it's own account (or email box; this is called a POP3 email account), then click on "Mail Manager" in your control panel, then "Add/Remove Accounts". From there you can add POP3 email accounts, assigning each one it's own unique password. You will then want to go to your own email program (like Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.) and configure it to receive the emails sent to the new account you created.

For example: let's say your new hosting account is "yourcompany.com" and you created an email address in your control panel called "you@yourcompany.com" and assigned it a password called "yourpass". The details you'll need to setup your email account(s) are as follows:
Account name: you@yourcompany.com
Password: yourpass
Incoming POP3: mail.yourcompany.com
Outgoing SMTP: mail.yourcompany.com
