How can I transfer my files from my home computer to my web server?
You can connect to our hosting server using any ftp client. Some of popular ftp clients are WS_FTP client, cuteFTP, CoreFtp, SmartFTP and many others.
I have uploaded my files but I just see the listing of my files.
Every web site has a base file (home page file) that is pulled first and it does not need to be specified explicitly like other files. Like many other servers, our server looks for index.htm or index.html or index.php file in the public_html directory. If one of these files are not found (they are also case sensitive) then you will see a listing of your files and directories. So, in this case makes sure that your first file (home page file) is one of the three listed above.
How can I access my cpanel (Control Panel)?
As soon as your domain name has been updated with new nameservers you can access your cpanel by adding /cpanel at the end of your domain name. For example, if your domain name is yourcompany.ca then you would access your cpanel like this http://www.yourcompany.ca/cpanel .
How can I change my email password?
You can change your email address through your web site. If your domain name is yourcompany.com then open following web site: http://www.yourcompany.com:2095/ and you will be prompted with user id and password prompt. Enter your email address as your user id and your password as your password. Once you log click on "Change my password".
