| Your

your domains. Login to that control panel and add Engagedhost's

not have the ability to do this for you. If special assistance
is needed with DNS modifications, we will be glad to assist
you upon request. |

will be given command line access via ssh protocol only. Engagedhost
does not allow telnet access to our servers due to its well
known insecurity. |

nameservers should I use? |
|
Engagedhost's

NS1.ENGAGEDHOST.COM
NS1.ENGAGEDHOST.COM |
| How
much bandwidth will i need? |
|
| The
amount of bandwidth you need depends on how much traffic you
recieve to your website. If you feel you will be getting alot
of visitors, you may use above average amounts of bandwidth.
If you will be hosting any type of media, you will use more
bandwidth than average. Usually, new websites do not use much
bandwidth at all. A new website usually uses under 5gb of
bandwidth per month. If your not sure how much bandwidth you
will need, but do not believe you will recieve many visitors,
start out with minimal amounts of bandwidth and upgrade as
needed. |
What
happens if i exceed my bandwidth limit? |
|
| You
will be sent a warning email first. Second you will be sent
an email with instructions on how to purchase more bandwidth
or to upgrade your account. If there is no response, the account
is temporarily suspended until arrangements are made. |
| Do
you offer webmail? |
|
| Yes.
All accounts have Squirrelmail Webmail pre-installed and can
be accessed by going to yourdomain.com/webmail. The advantage
to webmail is it can be accessed from any computer connected
to the internet, without using an email client. |
