Getting Started: Easy First Steps
The fundamentals necessary to creating a functional Internet presence with your
new Virtual Server are all included here. This is an excellent resource for
first time Virtual Server users.
I. Schedule your training session!
As a new customer, it is important for you to become familiar with your new
Server. All Server B and Cs come with a 3 hour phone training
session. This training will completely familiarize you with your new
server. Many have said this is the best part of the entire hosting
experience! One on One training, showing you what to touch, what not to
touch, how to add users, pop accounts, setting up email forwarding, adding
domain names to your Server, and much more! By providing this training,
you can be brought up to speed much more quickly than if you stumbled along
learning it the "hard way". Here is your chance to finally
understand!
The basic training covers these areas:
1. A directory by directory tour of your server via ftp.
2. Some basic telnet commands
a. cd ( change directory )
b. ls -al ( list all )
c. pwd ( print working
directory )
d. history ( shows all commands
typed thus far )
3. Most used telnet commands ( tools!):
a. uptime
b. quota
c. top
d. ps -aux
e. vdiskuse directoryname
vdiskuse directoryname | more
vdiskuse directoryname > quota.txt
f. getback
filename
g. tar
-cvf backup.tar backupdirectory
tar -xvf backup.tar restoredirectory
h. crontab
-l, -r

frontpage ( latter is for fp2002 ) See section 5e (below) if unsure
vuninstall fp2k or vuninstall frontpage ( latter is for fp2002 ) See section 5e (below) if unsure
p. vlist ( list all users

4. Using iManager web based control panel.
( see demo here )
a. add pop
b. add ftp

d. add spammer

5. Server files/folders. What to touch/edit, what not to touch/edit.
a. /etc/virtmaps
b. /etc/aliases
c. /etc/passwd
d. /etc/spammers
e. /usr/local/frontpage ( check version number ) 4.0 = fp2k 5.0 = fp2002
f. /www/conf/httpd.conf
6. How to request additional domain names in the Customer
Support site.
II. Upload Content to Your Virtual Server
There are several methods to upload
website content and other files to your Virtual Server. Instructions for
FTP clients like WS_FTP and Fetch, and for other methods like iManager and
Windows File Sharing are presented here.
III. Create E-mail and FTP User Accounts
Depending on the type of your Virtual Server, you have the ability to setup E-Mail
Aliases, e-mail POP accounts, and FTP user accounts. It's very easy to
do by following our step-by-step
instructions.
IV. Become an Expert Administrator
After you have completed your web site, uploaded the content to your Virtual
Server, created some e-mail/ftp accounts, we invite you to consider some further
Virtual Server administration topics. Virtually everything you need to know is
included in the Virtual Server Help
and Add-On Help sections of our web
site. Topics covered include web server configuration, virtual subhost
configuration, Virtual Server administration, the Microsoft FrontPage Server
Extensions, Java and Perl5, and much, much more!
