Hosting account and features

Summary

In this guide, you will learn about the basics of your hosting account and the many features available to you. Your hosting account is a powerful tool for you to use not only in building and managing your website, but also for email, web applications, and much more. To get started using your hosting account, this guide will show you how to transfer your domain name, set up and access your email accounts, use FTP, explore your File Manager, manage your passwords, and build your own website.

Managing  Setting up Your Domains

Transferring your domain name is the first step to getting a website up and running. If you don’t already have a domain registered, you can register a new one when you set up a hosting account. Otherwise, you will want to transfer your existing domain to your new hosting account.

• Transfer your Domain Name
• Purchase a New Domain
• Assign Additional Domains to your Account

Accessing Your Email

You will also want to get your email account(s) set up. With your hosting account, you have access to unlimited email accounts. Once you start setting up emails, you can choose one of our three webmail clients, or configure your email on a mail client of your choosing.

Your/Display name: anything you want
Email address: enter the full address (name@yourdomain.com)

Type of connection: POP3 or IMAP (what is the difference?)

Incoming mail server: mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing mail server: mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing mail server does require authentication.

Incoming mail port: 110 for POP3, 143 for IMAP
Outgoing mail port: 25 (If 25 does not work, try 26, as some ISPs block port 25)

Note: For Comcast/Xfinity Internet customers, port 587 is available for use as ports 25 and 26 are blocked on their network.

No SSL boxes should be checked*

Username/Account name: must be the full email address (name@yourdomain.com). Sometimes this setting won't work until you replace the @ with a + in the username.

Password: the email password. Do NOT use SPA (secure password authentication).

Building Your Website

There are many different options when it comes to creating a website. If you already have an existing website, you can upload it to our servers and manage it through your new hosting account. If you don't have a site built yet, don't worry! It is easier than ever to build a new website. Through your new hosting account, you can use website builder or CMS to help you get your site started.
