You will need to do the following three things to get your site and email up and running.

Uploading files
Setting up email
Pointing an existing domain to your website files

Uploading files

The first thing you need do is upload your files. If your domain is resolving to our servers you can publish via Frontpage but if not you will need to use an FTP client to connect to our servers and upload your domains content.

If you are publishing via Frontpage, you must wait until the domain is resolving until you attempt to publish. You cannot publish via Frontpage to your domain using the IP address. You can however use the IP address to upload your files via FTP.

Once you have successfully uploaded or published your domains content then you can view this at http://IP_Address/domainname. The IP address and the exact URL is specified in the welcome email that we had sent you when your account is setup. If you have lost your welcome email please email support. Once your domain is resolving to our servers, you can of course view your site at both http://www.yourdomain.com and http://yourdomain.com.

Setting up email

To set up email mailboxes for your domain you need to login to the control panel and then click on 'Email Manager'. Once you have created the email mailboxes you will need to configure your email client (e.g. Outlook Express, Outlook, Netscape, Eudora) to download your email.

• For instructions on creating mailboxes please click here .
• For instructions on setting up email clients please visit click on the appropriate client
• Outlook Express
• Netscape 6
• For instructions on using our web based email system please click here .

Please note you can't check your email until you have transferred your domain as email requires name resolution.

Pointing your domain to your new website files

In order to get your domain to point (resolve) to our servers and have name resolution you need to specify our name servers as the authoritative name servers (or DNS servers) for your domain. This involves visiting your domain registrar and changing the name servers associated with your domain to our name servers (removing any existing name servers that may be specified from a previous provider).

To point your domain to our services, you need to visit your domain registrar (where you registered the domain) and change the name servers associated with your domain to our name servers and also remove any existing name servers that may be associated with your domain. This is a common process at all domain registrars as it is required anytime anyone changed who hosts their website. For specific help on changing the name servers at your domain registrar, go to their site, login and go to the help section. Search for 'changing name servers' or 'changing DNS servers'.

Primary Name Server: ns1.nexusdt.net
Secondary Name Server: ns2.nexusdt.net

Once you have done this it takes up to 72 hours before your site is available, as the changes need to propagate to your ISP.
