• Once the account is setup you'll need to wait for the account to be set up completely on the server. This process usually take from 30 minutes to a few hours on business days. To test this, type the IP address, given to you during signup, into your Web browser. An active account will result in a 'Welcome' and under-construction page. If you feel that the account is taking an unusually long time to become active, please notify our Sales department and we can help you out.
   
• At this point you can begin to upload your files, via your IP address, using an FTP client. Microsoft® FrontPage® customers can also upload using the FrontPage Explorer.
   
• Note, however, that the account will, temporarily, only be accessible via the IP address, not your new domain name (Web address). The domain name can take a few days to function due to the fact that it may take from 24 to 72 hours (1 to 3 days) to be registered and propagate the name across the entire Internet. Domain name transfers may take longer. To test the domain, simply type it into a Web browser and see if your account comes up.
   
• Once the domain name is functioning correctly, you may want to visit the Control Panel for your account. To reach the Control Panel, type http://www.yourdomain.com:2082. This is where you can configure your account settings such as e-mail, statistics, secure server access, CGI scripts, and so forth.  Your Control Panel contains everything you should need to tweak all of your account options.
