Domain
Questions
1)
How do i get all of my domains working with AmberHost?
Quite
simple. If you can pull up your Activation
Email, you'll notice DNS entries to plug in
to your registrar. You will need to go to
the provider whom you registered your domain
name from (ex: networksolutions.com), login
to your master domain panel and update your
domains 'NAME SERVERS.'
You
will then point your domain to the domain
Name Server of your choice.
Of
course, if you need assistance with this (as
we have helped out in the past with others)
please don't hesitate to contact us

Why doesn't my web site work yet?
Upon
activation, it will take your site 24-72 hours
to update DNS entries AROUND the globe. In
english, every DNS "phone book"
(so to speak) will be updated within a MAXIMUM
of 72 hours and at that time, anyone in the
world can access your site. YOU may be able
to access your site within 24 hours, but people
4 blocks from you, may not be able to access
your site until 24 hours from now (it's really
work how the system works). :-/
This
is true with ANY web host. SO, if you would
like, you may access your web site by visiting
the following URL (so you may test things
out)
http://111.111.111/~username/
Just
replace USERNAME with the username assigned
to you in your Activation Email. and replacing
the IP with the one provided in that email
as well :-)
