4. My email will receive but not send
Over the last year or two, some ISP's (Internet
Service Providers i.e. Telus, Shaw or Rogers) which are not to be confused with HPS's
(Hosting Service Providers) have been trying very hard to
battle SPAMMERS. One way they do this is by blocking certain
ports and mail settings which are not apart of their
networks. For example:
if you use Telus as your ISP, you may need to change your
SMTP email settings from: mail.yourdomain.com to: "smtp.telus.net"
This will allow you to use your personal domain name to send
emails. This can also occur with other ISP's like Shaw Cable
or Sprint.
Please contact your ISP to find out what SMTP setting you
need to use.

5. FTP access
The most common error people make when
trying to upload new web pages to our servers is that they
do not enter their information correctly into their sFTP
(Secure File Transfer Protocol) program.
You need 5 pieces of information,
in the correct format:
Your account settings are:
Host: www.yourdomain.com (please don't actually type "yourdomain.com"
type YOUR actual domain.
Server Type: SFTP
Logon Type: Normal
User: this was emailed to you at the time of your account
set-up.
Password: this was emails to you at the time of your account
set-up.
Once connected look for the following folder, as this is
were your website files need to be located: /httpdocs/
These settings will work for with ANY secure ftp program.

support easily, download and install "FileZilla". Its FREE
