1) How do I get my domain working with HD?
Quite simple.
If you can pull up your Welcome Email, you'll notice DNS entries to plug in to
your registrar. You will need to go to the provider whom you registered your
domain name from (for example: networksolutions.com), login to your master
domain panel and update your domains 'NAME SERVERS' to:
NS1.PCWEBHOSTIN.NET and
NS2.PCWEBHOSTING.NET

3) Why doesn't my web site work yet?
Upon activation
of your web site, it will take your site 24-72 hours to update DNS entries
AROUND the globe and replicate your domain name with the assigned IP address
through the system. Basically, every DNS "phone book" will be updated within a
MAXIMUM of 72 hours and at that time, anyone in the world can access your site
using www.yourdomain.com. YOU may be able to access your site within 24 hours,
but people across the country from you, may not be able to access your site
until 24 hours from now.
This is true
with ANY web host. Meanwhile, you may access your web site by visiting your IP
address which is in the format of:
http://111.111.111/~username.
Just replace
the numbers with the IP address from your welcome email, and the username with
yours.
(See next question for more information.)

4) What are the name servers for my site?
These name
servers are in your Welcome Email. They are: NS1.PCWEBHOSTIN.NET and
NS2.PCWEBHOSTING.NET. Again, please allow 24-72 hours to update DNS
entries AROUND the globe and replicate your domain name with the assigned IP
address through the system.

5) Shouldn't the domain name I registered be working by now?
Upon
registering your domain name, it will take your site 24-72 hours to update DNS
entries AROUND the globe and replicate your domain name with the assigned IP
address through the system. Basically, every DNS "phone book" will be updated
within a MAXIMUM of 72 hours and at that time, anyone in the world will be
able to access your site using www.yourdomain.com. YOU may be able to access
your site within 24 hours, but people across the country from you, may not be
able to access your site up to 72 hours.

6) Can I view my site before my domain updates?
Certainly!
Simply point your browser to the IP address in your Welcome Email. Use the
following format:
http://111.111.111/~username/
Just replace
USERNAME with the username assigned to you in your Welcome Email. and
replacing the IP with the one provided in that email as well.

We can host it!
Just be sure when you sign up for your domain, that you use the proper
extension.

8)
How do I get files onto my web site?
There are
several ways. Either by uploading your files one by one via your control panel
or, an easier way, by using an FTP/HTML editor to upload your files (such as
FrontPage, CuteFTP, etc.). All you will need to do is configure the HTML/FTP
editor to work with your site and you should be good to go!

9) What's the difference between domain pointing and domain parking?
Pointing -
pointing a TLD domain name to a sub-domain giving it the appearance of an
account of it own
Parking -
making a second domain name point to the same web site as another.
