Please note that if your domain name is a new registration it may take up to 3 days for the DNS information to propagate across the Internet. During this period please use the 67.18.172.146 IP address as shown above instead of your domain name, to access or connect to your site. If you opened a web hosting account for a domain name that is already registered, you need to modify the DNS (Domain Name Servers) information on your domain registration. If you don't know how to change DNS information for your domain you need to contact your registrar where the domain was purchased.
DNS (Domain Name Server) propagation essentially means "when you your domain name (your 'Dot Com Name') becomes active or, goes live on our servers. This is typically 24 to 72 hours after you or we initiate DNS settings.
IMPORTANT:
You must check email BEFORE sending email. This is to avoid non-clients from using our mail servers for spam (unsolicited email), which we forbid. You have 30 minutes from the last time you check mail to send mail (Please note this restriction does not apply to web mail.)
