hi, I didn't realise you already had a domain name that presumably is set to redirect to the space hosted by NTL.

the key here is whether you can get the existing DNS entry for that name to point to your new webspace - that will depend on the facilities offered by the company you registered the name with, some charge for it, for example.

the email from I-Web will have their nameserver details incuded.

Any questions you have can be answered here:

http://forum.i-websolutions.co.uk/

I think you may need to register though.

You should have a folder called public_html, I think you need to upload your site to that directory. Hopefully someone will be along soon who can confirm that though.

There isn't a specific folder called "upload" or "ftp", if you use the link:

http://www.i-websolutions.co.uk/faqs...ng%20Questions

You can see the settings that you need for your ftp program though.

Sheridan,

You cannot use a redirecting domain name, you must use a primary domain name. i-web can offer you a hosted domain name such as

sheridan.i-webhosted.co.uk as we do with some others.

The details to use your account would of been sent as soon as your domain name resolves to the server, however as your domain name will never resolve to the server as its a redirecting domain, you would never of recieved these instructions. I suggest you visit http://support.i-websolutions.co.uk and create a support ticket for this issue.

nooo, not a waste, as KingPhoenix says, raise a support ticket - they will look after you.

What has happened is that they have allocated space on their server for your hosted account, but it currently is not associated with a domain name.

Once you realise what you have actually purchased for that 'wasted' tenner, you will be a lot happier :)

I believe sheridan has a support ticket running, he has purchased a domain, and now just needs to contact the registrar to change the nameserver settings. The server has been configured accordingly for his new domain name.

Not used the software that you're using.

I would suspect that you won't have any problems, in theory you just need to give it the FTP address for your I-web site and it should upload as normal.

If you get any problems the guys at I-web are really good and will help where they can, alternatively I'm sure someone here will be able to steer you right :tu:

no, but I don't think you will have any problems. Uploading to your public_html folder, like Raistlin said, should be ok.

bear in mind your new domain name may take a couple of days to 'kick in', properly, however, as you have seen, there is ample support :)
