Uploading your site to our serversYour first step in transferring your website(s) over to our servers is to upload the files themselves. If you do not keep an offline version of your website, download your website to your computer via FTP - if you do not know how to do this, contact your current webhost. Then, log in to your control panel as described above and click on FTP Manager if you are familiar with FTP, or File Manager if not. If you use file manager, you just select the files and folders from your site and upload them to our servers. If you choose FTP, use the settings given to you in the FTP Manager in your favourite FTP programme to upload your files. Transferring your site to our serversOnce the files have been uploaded, you need to tell your domain registrar (from whom you rent your domain name - www.yourcompany.com) to link to our servers rather than those of your old webhost. To do this log on to the website from which you bought your domain name, and change the Nameservers to ns1.121internet.co.uk and ns2.121internet.co.uk. If you have any problems with this, contact the registrar. Setting up your emailEmail is set up via the 'Email Configuration' icon in Control Panel. From here, you can set up unlimited 400MB mail accounts, forwarding accounts, and even set up Outlook Express or similar programs to receive and send your mail automatically.
