Hosting Setup
If you are Geromail hosting service, you should have received an email notification detailing website/email settings.
Here's the setup and configuration for your website and emails hosting. There are 2 essential areas requiring your attention, in order for the hosting to work:
A. Changing Name Servers
B. Creating Email Accounts for your users
*** Initial Setup ***
A. Name Server
For your website to be visible in the Internet, you need to change the following name server settings through the registrar (where you registered the domain name):
| Setting | Host Name | IP Number |
|---|
| Primary name server | ns1.geromail.com | 202.150.214.4 |
| Secondary name server | ns8.geromail.com | 202.150.214.5 |
Most registrars offer you a user account to login and change the name server records yourself. If your registrar does not offer this service, you may need to contact them to request name servers changes.
Changes of name servers may take up to 2 hours to propagate to the Internet.
This step MUST be completed in order for the remaining instructions to work.
Skip this step if you have registered your domain name through GeroMail; we will updated your name server settings for you.
B. Creating Email Accounts for your users
Once the name servers have taken effect, you may setup up your user email accounts.
An email account has been setup for you to administer your user email accounts:
postmaster@UserDomainName.com
You can administer your email accounts using any browser (web-based):
Login to this email account to add and remove user email accounts.
DO NOT REMOVE the email account postmaster@UserDomainName.com.
Recommended additional email accounts for businesses are sales@UserDomainName.com and enquiry@UserDomainName.com.
