Frequently Asked Questions!

Q. I placed my order three days ago, and the WhoIs lookup shows that my domain is active on your servers, but I can't get my site to load on any browser. Why is that?

A. Even when the Who Is database displays your domain as active on our servers, sometimes the internet doesn't display the site to all browsers in all parts of the world immediately. For example: your domain may be viewable in California today while not showing up in Maryland, but that usually gets resolved within 24 hours. It takes 3-5 days for the domain to become active and resolved back to our servers. This is true for all hosting companies.

Q.Where can I access my web based mail server without going through control panel?

A. In the address bar of your browser, enter www.yourdomain.com:2095. At the prompt, enter your full email address and your selected password. This is where you must first set-up your email via the control panel and set preferences before it is activated. Then, at the bottom of the resulting page, click "Read Web Mail"

Q. Will your e-mail service work with MS Outlook, Eudora, or other client based e-mail programs?

A. Yes, It will work with proper set up mention below

Q. How does the e-mail set-up to work with MS Outlook?

Q. You have just set-up my new account, why can't I access my new control panel?
