 Question:
What is a Domain Name? |
|
Answer : Your Domain Name is
your identity on the Internet. It is like having
your own phone number. Essentially, Domain Names
serve as routing addresses on the Internet. Each
Domain Name corresponds to its IP address - .
|
Question:
What is allowed in a Domain Name? |
|
Answer : The only characters
allowed in a Domain Name are the 26 letters of the
English alphabet, numbers 0-9, and hyphens (-). A
domain cannot begin or end with a hyphen, but it
may contain one or more hyphens. You may use up to
63 characters plus the gTLD (generic Top Level
Domain: .com, .net, and .org) as part of the
Domain Name. Each ccTLD (country code TLD)
Registry has its own restrictions on the length
and format. Domain Names are not case sensitive
and are usually displayed in all lowercase. You
may, however, use capital letters to emphasis
words in your Domain Name,
like: DavysKitchen.com
|
Question:
Who owns my domain name? |
|
Answer : The Registrant or
person or organization listed in "WHOIS" owns the
Domain Name for the time their registration fees
are paid. WHOIS is the name of the database
required of all Registrars that contains
information about the Domain Name, nameservers,
and registration and
sometimes the expiration dates.
|
Question:
Where will my Domain Name reside? |
|
Answer : ip-hostings provides
name servers upon registration of new domain
names. A Domain Name server is a machine connected
to the Internet that identifies unique Domain
Names (Web addresses) or Internet sites. Domain
Name registration requires both a primary and a
secondary nameserver. Each consists of a host name
and a unique IP address. These house the Domain
Name System information about the Domain Names
hosted by the nameservers. These nameservers must
be registered with the Domain Name Registry. Once
you have registered your Domain Name with ip-hostings, you can change the name servers for your
Domain Name from your control panel. You will
always need two separate name servers. This change
can be made as soon as the registration
is confirmed.

Question:
FOR ASP ONLY I have created an FTP user and was
able to login but user can't see the home
directory in FTP window. Also the user could not
transfer files over. What may be the reason? |
|
Answer : CAUSE: New FTP users
can not FTP to the Website unless they provide the
website name as
Remote Initial Directory in their FTP client.
New
FTP users can not FTP to the Website unless they
provide the website name as Remote Initial
Directory in their FTP client. SOLUTION: There are
three solutions for this problem:
1.
Set "Domain.com" as Remote Initial Directory in
the FTP client. Refer to FTP client's help manual
for instructions on how to do this.
2.
If you are unable to find how to set Remote
Initial Directory then simply FTP using the
assigned login and password and when you are
connected execute change directory command "cd
domain.com".
3.
If both of the above solutions are not desirable
then create a virtual directory in your FTP site
and map it on the website's physical path. The
virtual directory name shall be same as of FTP
login name. Now when user will FTP, he will land
to his home directory
directly.

Question:
FOR ASP ONLY Is there a way for a webadmin to
create a sub directory under his domain, and then
create an FTP user which can only access that sub
directory. |
|
Answer : In this article , we
suppose that user ABC is to be given FTP access
for the folder http://Pizza.com/ABCAccess.
Creating an FTP account having access to a special
folder involves
three steps.
Step
1: Make sure Everyone full rights are removed from
the root of every drive on the server. This is the
basics of web server security.
Step
2: Create a new FTP user 'ABC'.
To
create FTP user, follow these steps: Login as
webadmin, click User Manager, click Add User, fill
the form and only enable website you wish to have
user access to. Do not enable any of the other sub
folders of the website.
Step
3: Give access to FTP user 'ABC' on ABCAccess
folder.
To
give access to FTP user, follow these steps: Click
Folder Security, click Security Setup.
Select
domain 'Pizza.com' from Folder box and click
Select Folder button. Browse until you get the
folder 'ABCAccess'.
Select
'ABCAccess' folder and click on Permissions
button. Select the user 'ABC' created in step 2
from Users box, select 'Full Control' from
Permissions box and 'Both (files, folders)' from
Inheritance box. Click Add/Change button.
The
above three steps will create an FTP user 'ABC'
and this user will be given FTP access on a
special folder 'ABCAccess' under the domain
'Pizza.com'.
Note:
When the user ABC does FTP to the domain
'Pizza.com', he must provide
'Pizza.com/www/ACBAccess' as 'Initial Remote
Directory' in the FTP client, otherwise the FTP
will fail.l
