Getting Started

Hi, new using computers and setting up my own site. How do you get started making the site, I don't realy understand the welcome email, but when I click on the address given to edit my site, I keeps saying 'Internet Explorer can not find the webpage'. Can anyone help?

Evan,

The link you are clicking doesn't have a domain at the minute as you have redirected your domain to your current site. What is the link it is giving you?

You need to change the DNS settings on your domain to point to our server. Because you bought your domain from that other link you found, the domain wasn't automatically pointed to our server.

The Welcome email does have the information you need to do that.

Just login to whatever control panel you were given when you bought the domain. Look around the menu sysytem and find where it refers to DNS settings, or something similar. You need to change the Nameservers to the two given in that Welcome email, then save those settings. Done.

It can take up to 48 hours (sometimes a lot less though) for that change to take effect before your site will show up, so don't worry if you don't see it staight away.
