Can Anonymous FTP users upload files to my
account?
No, this is not allowed, by default. You,
the client, do not want to be responsible for content uploaded by an Anonymous
FTP user which may be in violation of our Acceptable Uses Policy. Anonymous FTP
users are not allowed to upload content.
How do I connect to my account via FTP?
Most FTP software require the following:
1. The hostname (domain name) or IP Address to connect. The password for the
account.
2. The login or userid associated with the hostname.
3. The password for the account.
Once you have this information, you can use any FTP client to log into your
account.
Note: It is IMPORTANT to enter a single slash ('/') where is asks for the
initial remote directory. Without the slash, you will not see your entire
directory structure.
Some of the popular FTP software are Smart FTP,
WS-FTP, Cute FTP, Absolute FTP, etc.
How do I create e-mail auto responders on my
account?
This is done easily through your Control
Panel. Simply log into your Control Panel, then select "Mail" from the menu,
then click on "Autoresponder" link and click on "Add Autoresponder". Now select
which email you wish to have a responder created for. Fill in the subject line
and the message body fields and click on "Create/Modify". That's it.
Why can't I connect to the POP3 server?
There are several reasons why you may not
be able to connect to the POP3 server, and thus, not be able to check your POP3
account(s) for new messages. Use the following guideline to solve this sort of
problem:
1. Make sure you first have a connection to the Internet. Verify this by
visiting a website.
2. Make sure your e-mail client is configured properly. This does not apply if
you have checked for new e-mail before and have not changed your configurations
since.
3. Have you successfully connected to the POP3 server from this location before?
In other words, are you trying to connect to the POP3 server for the first time
or from a new location for the first time?
4. Verify that you are not behind a firewall! If you are at work, this should be
your first clue.
5. If you find that you are behind a firewall, verify with the network
administrator that port
6. 110 is allowed. If it is not, this is the reason you cannot connect to the
POP3 server
Call your ISP or whoever is providing you the connection to the Internet and
verify that port 110 (POP3) is not denied. If it is, this is the reason you
cannot connect to the POP3 server
Finally, log into your Control Panel, and click the server name where your
domain is hosted. Verify that POP3 service is not currently unavailable.
If you get this far and are still unable to connect, try to connect to another
POP3 server that you may access to, such as your ISPs POP3 server. At this
point, the problem is most likely on the client side.
How do I edit or remove existing e-mail auto
responders?
This is done easily through your Control
Panel. Simply log into your Control Panel, then select "Mail" from the menu,
then click on the edit or delete icon to the right of the responder you wish to
manage.
How do I create e-mail forwarders accounts on
my account?
This is done easily through your Control Panel. Simply log into your Control
Panel, then select "Mail" from the menu, then click on "Forwarder" link.

What is PHP?
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded
scripting language. It has a syntax familiar to both Perl and C. PHP-enabled web
pages are treated just like regular HTML pages and you can create and edit them

server?

What are the correct file extensions for Perl
scripts?
Your Perl scripts can have the extension .pl or .cgi. However, Perl scripts
that are going to produce output to the web (world readable) would use the
extension .cgi. Perl scripts that are only meant to be executed by yourself via
the command line or even scripts which may be executed through the web without
any output should be set to the .pl file extension.
Should I upload my Perl scripts in ASCII or
Binary mode?
You should always upload your Perl scripts in ASCII mode via FTP. If you
upload your scripts in binary mode, the scripts will not work and you will get
an "Internal Server Error: Premature End of Script Headers" error (500 Internal
Server Error). It is very important to remember to only upload your Perl scripts
in ASCII mode!
Are there other places to turn for help?
Yes. Because of its widespread popularity, there are many places
on-line that have valuable resources for troubleshooting Perl scripts. Below are
some of the most useful resources:
