TRANSFERRING A DOMAIN(S) TO SHOREWEB HOSTING

To transfer your domain name to your new ShoreWeb Hosting account, you need to modify your Domain Nameserver information (NAMESERVER or DNS). This can be done by the registrar where your domain is registered. Visit your registrar's web site and then follow the directions they provide to change your domain nameserver information. If you do not know how to do this, send an email and we will assist you in the process of transferring your domain name.

Use the following Nameserver / DNS information when registering or transferring your domain name with ShoreWeb:

GENESIS - Server 1 (only for existing customers/accounts)
NS1.SHOREWEBHOSTING.BIZ
NS2.SHOREWEBHOSTING.BIZ

EXODUS - Server 2 (for new customers/accounts)
NS1.SHOREWEBHOSTING2.BIZ
NS2.SHOREWEBHOSTING2.BIZ

TRANSFERRING (FTP 'ING) FILES TO YOUR ACCOUNT

To upload your files to the web server (the computer on which your web pages are stored), you will need a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. We suggest using the shareware program called CuteFTP. Please note that you need to be connected to the internet to connect to your site with FTP.

When uploading your files, the home page needs to be named "index.html" and the files need to be uploaded into the "/public_html" folder.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Settings

FTP Host Address
GENESIS 209.123.207.12 (until your domain starts resolving, then use ftp.yourdomainname.com)
EXODUS 69.72.252.51 (until your domain starts resolving, then use ftp.yourdomainname.com)

FTP User Name --> (supplied in welcome email)
FTP User Password --> (supplied in welcome email)

Until your domain starts resolving to the ShoreWeb Hosting servers (usually 24-72 hours), you can see your uploaded files at...

GENESIS http://209.123.207.12/~username/
EXODUS http://69.72.252.51/~username/

Microsoft FrontPage Extensions
Microsoft FrontPage (FP) Extensions are not installed unless requested. If you are using FP, then you do not need a FTP program where it uses a built-in "Publish Web" feature.

GENESIS ftp://209.123.207.12/public_html
EXODUS ftp://69.72.252.51/public_html

Once the domain is resolving to the ShoreWeb Hosting servers (usually 24-72 hours), you can use your domain address/URL, e.g., http:// or ftp://yourdomainname.com/.

EMAIL & WEBMAIL

Step-by-Step setup instructions for MS Outlook Express

POP3
(INCOMING) MAIL SERVER
mail.yourdomainname.com

SMTP
(OUTGOING) MAIL SERVER
This would be provided by your Internet Service Provider / ISP (who you use to connect to the Internet) or you can use mail.yourdomainname.com and check "My Server Requires Authentication" and enter your full email address as your user name and then your password.

If you need any assistance or instructions on how to setup your email, just email us for support. Many customers already have an email address they prefer to use, so you can (or we can) setup your domain email(s), then forward to an existing email account, so you do not have to check multiple email accounts (unless you want to?).

To access your webmail, at the location or address field in your web browser, type the following --> http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail/ (be sure to replace the "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name ;) plus you need to make sure you have a "/" at the end of webmail/.

CONTROL PANEL

ShoreWeb Hosting offers a feature-rich Control Panel for you to manage, track, and tools to enhance your website. To access your Control Panel, at the location or address field in your web browser, type the following --> http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/ (be sure to replace the "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name ;)

Some features of the Control Panel may not be activated depending on which web hosting package you selected.
