1) How do I login to my control panel?
The fun part is
that it's not a mile long URL address. All you need is your URL (ex:
www.yourdomain.com) followed by (:2082/)
So point your
browser to http://www.yourdomain.com:2082/
Just replace
yourdomain.com with your URL to your website! It's that simple! IF YOU
HAVE JUST SETUP YOUR ACCOUNT, then simply enter the following until
you get your domain up and running:
http://1111.1111.1111:2082/
Of course,
replace 1111.1111.111 with the IP of your server provided to
you in your activation email. :) And as always, if you have ANY problems with
this, please contact us at

2) I made a FTP account with a new user/pass but what is the URL to
his/her folder?
Simply
http://www.yourdomain.com/~username/
Replace
USERNAME with the name of the FTP user you have created. :-)

3) How do I access MySQL?
Within your
control panel, under the DATABASES section, there are 2 programs. PhpMyAdmin
and Manage MySQL. You may enter Manage MySQL to easily create users &
databases or for the novice, you may go into PhpMyAdmin to create, manage,
edit and administer your databases.

4) How do I password protect specific directories?
This is easier
to set up than you think! Within your control panel, under the SITE MANAGEMENT
section, there is a link that says "Web Protect." Click on this link.
You'll soon see
the folder structure of your current web site (you will only see folders, no
files). This will be displayed with several folder icons (pictures of a
folder) along with the name of the folder (displayed to the right of the
folder icon). THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE LINKS
(icon and name).
First you will
need to navigate to the folder you wish to password protect. If your folder is
located within a folder, simply click on the folder ICON to help you navigate
in and out of folders.
Once you have
decided on a folder, then click on the TITLE of the folder (NOT the folder
icon) and a properties menu will appear on a new page.
Configure the
properties in this menu by checking the checkbox (to activate or uncheck to
de-activate). CAUTION: THIS WILL LOCK ALL FILES
AND FOLDERS WITHIN THIS DIRECTORY.
You would then choose a name for this locked page (this will appear as the
title of the password prompt your users will see; ex: "This page is for staff
only!"). Once complete, click on SAVE and the lock will be activated.
Finally, you
will need to establish which users you wish to have access to this directory,
and then you're all set! No sweat! And as always, if you have any problems
with this, if you have ANY problems with this, please contact us.
