Why is my account not active immediately after registration?

After creating an account or resetting your password, a user will need to wait 30 minutes until his account will be activated or changes have been applied to their account. This is due to security reasons and server stable work. Once your account is active, your website will also be active.

Once your website is active, don’t forget to update your nameservers, by following the instructions on our what are your nameservers page

What does SEO mean?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site or a web page (such as a blog) from search engines via “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results as opposed to other forms of search engine marketing (SEM) which may deal with paid inclusion. The theory is that the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine.

How to use an FTP client?

Step 1:  Obtain FTP client software.

Uploading to the server through FTP requires special software.  Most computer systems do not come with FTP clients, so you will have to download one from the Internet.  We suggest:

IBM/Windows: LeechFTP (free), WS_FTP LE (free), FTP Explorer (free), CuteFTP (free trial).
Macintosh: Fetch (free), Transmit (free trial).

Step 2:  Connect to the server.

All FTP clients need the following information:

Username

Password

Address – This is the address of the server.  Use ftp.yourdomain.com

Port – Use the default port (21).

Some clients may ask for the host type (select “auto”), ASCII/Binary/Auto (select “auto), and the initial remote folder (you may leave this blank or change it to /domains/yourdomain.com/public_html to start off in the main web directory).

Step 3:Change to the desired directory and upload your files.

To upload, highlight the files/folders on your computer and drag them into the appropriate directory on the remote server.  Each FTP client operates differently, so please consult its help file for complete instructions.
