Website Setup
After you have placed on online order for our hosting services, we will send you an email notification that you domain webhosting is ready.
Here's the setup and configuration for using your domain hosting and email.
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
Skip this step if you have registered your domain name through GeroMail; we will updated your name server settings for you (Advanced/Gold Hosting).
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.
B. Creating Email Accounts for your users
Once the name servers take effect, you may setup up your user email accounts.
An email account has been setup for you to administer your user email accounts:
postmaster@yourdomain.com
You can administer your email accounts using any browser (web-based):
| URL: | http://www.yourdomain.com/admin |
| Login: | postmaster |
| Password: | <FTP Password> |
Login to this email account to add and remove user email accounts.
DO NOT REMOVE the email account postmaster@yourdomain.com.
Recommended additional email accounts for businesses are sales@yourdomain.com and enquiry@yourdomain.com.
See our online guide on using webadmin to administer user accounts.
