I am trying to read and send e-mail with Microsoft Outlook but it does not work, how do I fix this?
When sending and receiving e-mail, use the mail server : mail.server.com and the username is in the format of username@server.com. Where 'server.com' is the actual domain for your web site and where 'username' is the actual username for that e-mail account. Finally, select the option 'My outgoing server requires authentication' within Microsoft Outlook.
I can read e-mail but cannot send e-mail with Outlook, how do I fix this?
You may receive an error : The connection to the server has failed. Account 'mail.server.com', Server 'mail.server.com', Protocol SMTP, Port 25, Secure(SSL) No, Socket Error 10060, Error Number 0x800CCC0E. To prevent spam most Internet Service Providers block port 25 when sending e-mail, change the Outgoing Server to port 26 to send e-mail.
Some of the e-mail people send to me never arrives, what happened to my e-mail?
You may have an overly aggressive e-mail filter setup which attempts to remove junk e-mail; occasionally the filter may delete valid e-mails. If you wish to turn filtering off for your web site, open the cPanel Control Panel and login, then click 'MAIL' > 'E-Mail Filtering' and remove the filters which might be causing the problem.
What is the absolute file path to my web site's home directory?
The absolute file path is at: /home/username/public_html/ where 'username' is the actual login username for your web site. The absolute path may be required for certain php script installations.
Do I need a domain name to use your hosting service?
Yes, we require all hosting accounts to have a domain name. Domains are affordable, give your company a unique identity online and can be purchased from several sources online. We recommend purchasing domains directly from us as we handle the registration, purchase and automatic renewal of your domains.
I recently signed up, what domain name servers should my domain point to?
Make certain to point your domain to the name servers NS1.PGWARE.COM and NS2.PGWARE.COM, otherwise your domain will not resolve to our servers correctly and result in your web site being down longer than necessary.
