Getting Started
Welcome to your new Virtual Server. We have
created the resources in this "Getting Started" section of our web
site especially for our new virtual server administrators. We hope that
these resources will help you gain a better understanding about how to use
your new Virtual Server. You will also want to become acquainted with the
Virtual Server Online
Users Guide.
Steps
For Using Your Virtual Server
The fundamentals necessary to creating a functional Internet presence
with your new Virtual Server System are outlined in our "Easy Steps"
documentation. This is a excellent resource for first time users.
Your Email Configuration Letter
After your Virtual Server System is setup, you will receive an email
configuration letter from our Customer Service Department. This letter
contains important information about your new Virtual Server.
Check Your Domain
Name Registration Status.
If you requested a domain name with your new Virtual Server which we can
register for you (such as a ".com", ".net", or
".org" domain name), you can check your domain name registration
status here.
Remote
Administration
We have developed several methods which you can use to remotely manage your
Virtual Server.
Help
on HTML and Web Design
If you are interested in finding out more on the hypertext Markup Language
(HTML), you may find our collection of links to some handy tutorials, style
guides, and general information useful. These links are compiled in our Resource
& Links pages.
Uploading
Files to Your Virtual Server
A simple step-by-step presentation about what you need to know and what you
need to do to upload files to your Virtual Server is given. Though this
document highlights uploading content to your Virtual Server with an FTP
client, it also discusses other methods briefly.
Using SSH
The secure environment under which your Virtual Server operates makes it
possible for us to offer SSH access. By using a SSH
client, you can connect to your Virtual Server from anywhere in the world and
login as if you were sitting at the console.
Basic UNIX
Commands
With more than 20 years of research and development behind it, the UNIX
operating system is extremely powerful. Although it may at first seem somewhat
intimidating, we have created a document to help you with basic UNIX commands.
This document provides several commands commonly used to administer your
Virtual Server. With a little practice, you can master these commands.
We also have a large Frequently
Asked Questions section which you will want to book mark!
