Domain names
You can use your own domain name, register a new one yourself, or order one from Digital Red. Use the WHOIS search to find an available name and check pricing.
Getting Started
Please contact Daniel to open your account. Once your account is opened you'll be able to use it straight away. The powerful webserver runs the very easy-to-use cPanel control panel system which makes configuring your account very easy.
In each of these examples, replace domain.com with your own domain name.
- Web address
- www.domain.com
- Your website will start with a default single page to confirm that the site works and that the address is set up to point to a website. Once you have created your own pages, you'll be able to delete the default page.
- If you have extra domain names and you'd like to point them to the same website (eg domain.com and domain.co.uk), you can do this in cPanel with 'Park Domains'
- Control Panel
- www.domain.com/cpanel
- Username: (you'll be given this)
- Password: (you'll be given this)
- FTP Access
- Upload to www.domain.com on Port 21
- Username: (as main username)
- Password: (as main password)
- Delete or overwrite the default index.php file when you upload your own webpage.
- Email Address
- Email address: yourname@domain.com
- POP3 Server: domain.com
- IMAP Server: domain.com
- SMTP Server: domain.com
- Username for default catch-all address:
(as main username) - You can create personal addresses for you or your colleagues or family members using the Control Panel. These addresses will use the email address as the username, and their password will be the one you defined when you configured them.
- Webmail access
- www.domain.com/mail
- Username and passwords are the same as for your email address
Transferring a setup from elsewhere
If you are transferring hosting services from another server and would like to ensure continuous service during the transfer, you can configure your account with Digital Red before moving your domain name.
You can upload your files to the hostname london.digitalred.com instead of your own domain name, and you can access your cPanel at london.digitalred.com/cpanel. You should configure Outlook Express / Outlook / Thunderbird on your PC to collect from your old ISP as well as Digital Red for a day either side of your transfer date. Use london.digitalred.com as the POP/IMAP server when you do this.
