1, How do
You Move Your Site to Our Server from Another Host
To use our hosting service,
you don't need to change your registrar at all, but simply change your domain's
DNS to have it pointed to our name server. There are a few steps to make a host
change:
1) Keep your current host
unchanged for now because you may need the email address to communicate with
your registrar if that email is in your registrar's record.
2) Sign up a hosting account
from our site, and upload all files of your domain to your FTP account on our
server. And also setup the same email accounts as before.
3) Contact your registrar or
domain service provider and request it to change your domain's DNS to:
ns1.1mlmwebhosting.com 216.240.139.33
and ns2.1mlmwebhosting.com 216.240.139.53
.
4) You may make a small mark
on your new homepage hosted on our server so that you'll be able to tell whether
or not your domain has been fully resolved to our name server.
5) One or two days later
when everything is okay, you then tell your old host company to cancel the
account.
2, Domain DNS Setting: the First Thing You Should Do after Signup
If
you've registered your domain through the hosting account signing up process or
by yourself from our website, you don't need to do anything about the DNS
settings since our hosting system has set it up automatically. Otherwise,
please contact your registrar or domain service provider and ask them to change
your domain's DNS to as following:
ns1.1mlmwebhosting.com
216.240.139.33
ns2.1mlmwebhosting.com
216.240.139.53
And it
doesn't matter which one, ns1 or ns2, comes first as primary name server in the
DNS settings.
Actually you may do it yourself easily by logging to your domain control panel
and finding out DNS management page. Or you may send your domain login
info (login ID, password, and login URL) to us, and we would be happy to do it
for you.
The purpose of DNS change is to have your domain pointed to our name server so
that when someone types your domain in a browser, your registrar will redirect
him or her to your website hosted on our server. This is similar to that you
have to call your phone company to get a phone line installed first before you
may make a phone call.
It usually takes around 24 ~ 48 hours for your domain to be fully resolved.
3, Instant Domain Alias: How to See Your Website before Your Domain Is
Propagated
Nothing will show up without your domain being pointed to our name server. However, you still can see your site through the
instant domain alias generated by our hosting system when you signed up or when
you add a new domain to your account.
The
instant domain alias is listed on the welcome email and also in your control
panel. To find it out, login to your control panel by clicking on the
following link
http://cp.1mlmwebhosting.com:8080/psoft/servlet/psoft.hsphere.CP/
.
And click on Web options icon once you get in it, and choose to edit a domain if
there are more than one domain in your hosting account. The instant
access
domain alias is on the bottom of the Web Service
page.
Please
note, the purpose of instant domain alias is for you to access to your web page
before your domain is fully resolved to our name server. However, many
hosting features or functions won't work on it. For instance, email
service doesn't work and pre-installed scripts cannot be activated on instant
domain alias. So you should make the domain DNS change mentioned above ASAP.
4, Site
Studio: Publish Your First Web Page Just in 10 Minutes
Site
Studio makes our life easier and allows anyone to build a professionally
designed website in a short time without any HTML knowledge.
There
are two ways to login to Site Studio. First, you can use your default
homepage generated by our system. If your domain has not been resolved yet, you
may access to your default homepage using your instant domain alias. The password is
same as your FTP password, which was entered by
yourself during signup. If you don't remember it, you may simply change it
by clicking on FTP manager in your control panel.
The
second way to login to Site Studio is from within your control panel: click on
Site Studio icon in control panel and then on Edit, and you'll be led into Site
Studio directly without typing a password.
For
next step, we suggest you just sit back and watch the Site Studio flash tutorials by
clicking on the following link:
http://1-mlm-web-hosting.biz/support/web%20hosting%20tutorials/tutorial_ss_user_series.html
.
Should
you have further questions about it, the Site Studio User
Guide should be helpful:
http://1-mlm-web-hosting.biz/support/site_studio_guide.html#_ICQ_Contact_Center
.
Following those instructions, you will see your first website running online
shortly.

FTP/FrontPage Extension: How do you publish Web pages Written by Yourself
It is the best way to upload your web pages using a FTP client with the settings
provided in the welcome email when you signup.
If you lost the email for whatever reasons, you may get your FTP login info by
logging to your hosting control panel and clicking on FTP manager icon.
Make
sure you always log into the FTP account with the settings listed on the page
even after your domain is assigned a dedicated IP since H-Sphere hosting system
works differently from other systems.
When you login to your FTP account, you will see two folders, a log folder and a
domain folder. Make sure you upload all files into the domain folder; otherwise
your site won't show up.
If you do not have a FTP client, you may download WS_FTP LE for free at
http://1-mlm-web-hosting.biz/support/Ws_ftp32.exe
If you use FrontPage to publish files, you have to name your homepage as
index.html instead of index.htm, and also wait until your domain is fully
propagated. You need to provide the following info when publishing:
Location:
http://your-domain.com
Name: your FTP login ID
Password: your FTP password
6, E-mail: Setting up Your Mail accounts and other Mail Services
Your email will not work until your domain is resolved to our name server.
To setup an email account, please follow the instructions of this tutorial
movie:
http://1-mlm-web-hosting.biz/support/web%20hosting%20tutorials/H-Sphere%20user%20nm/hsphere23nm_eu_POP.htm
.
To learn how to set up other mail resource, please choose a related topic from
this page
http://1-mlm-web-hosting.biz/support/web%20hosting%20tutorials/tutorial_cp_user_series.html
.
You can get into a webmail account instantly by clicking on Launch Webmail in
Mailbox properties. Or login to it through this link:
http://216.240.138.254/horde/index.php . Please note, each mail
account's login
ID is the whole email address.
Your email password can be changed through this link:
http://cp.1mlmwebhosting.com:8080/psoft/servlet/psoft.hsphere.CP?action=change_mbox_password
without logging into your control panel.
If you want to send and receive email via a mail client like Outlook Express,
you should use the following settings:
Incoming mail server (POP3 or IMAP): mail.your-domain.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): mail.your-domain.com , or your ISP's SMTP server
for faster performance
Incoming mail Account name: your full email address,
something@your-name.com
Incoming mail Password: the password that you set in your control panel
"Log on using Secure Password Authentication": NO
"My server requires authentication": YES
For more details about Outlook Express settings, please watch this
tutorial movie:
http://www.1-mlm-web-hosting.biz/support/web%20hosting%20tutorials/H-Sphere%20user%20nm/hsphere23nm_eu_OE.htm
.
If your ISP blocks port 25 then you have to use its SMTP mail server as your
Outgoing mail server, such as mail.earthlink.net, instead of
mail.your-domain.com .
We suggest you always use your ISP's SMTP mail server as Outgoing mail server
since it is faster because emails will go into internet directly without
entering into our mail server first and then going out to internet. You will
also save on bandwidth costs in your hosting account, and NO email recipient
will be aware of what SMTP mail server you use.
7, Web Site:
the Way You May Access to Your Web Pages
Your website will be accessible in two ways:
http://www.your-domain.com
http://your-domain.com
It works the same way for a subdomain (something.your-domain.com) or a
third-level domain (something.1mlmwebhosting.biz).
Whenever you make a change between a shared and dedicated IPs on your domain,
you will have to wait for several hours to 24 hours before you can access to
your website in both ways because server and DNS need time to work their way
out.
8, Domains and Sub-domains: How to Add Domains and Sub-domains to Your Account
If your hosting plan allows additional domains, sub-domains and/or third level
domains, you may add them yourself easily within your control panel.
This is instruction of setting up a new domain:
http://1-mlm-web-hosting.biz/support/web%20hosting%20tutorials/H-Sphere%20user%20nm/hsphere23nm_eu_create_transfer_domain.htm
.
This is about setting up a sub-domain:
http://1-mlm-web-hosting.biz/support/web%20hosting%20tutorials/H-Sphere%20user%20nm/hsphere23nm_eu_subdomain.htm
.
Don't forget you need to change your domain's DNS and wait for 24 to 48 hours
before your domain is fully propagated.
