    Connecting to Us

    Connecting to your new virtual server account is easy. To upload files to your virtual server you would usually use an FTP programme, FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a way of uploading your web site to your virtual server.

    If you don't already have an FTP client then you may download a shareware copy of WS-FTP from Ipswitch Software.

    Once downloaded you should install WS-FTP on your machine following the instructions from Ipswitch.

    Once installed select the option to create a new FTP account. You should then enter the details outlined below:-

    Create a FTP Site With Name: ftp.meadowselectrics.co.uk

    Host Name or IP Address: 79.170.44.88

    User ID: meadowsele

    Password: Enter the password that you received in your welcome e-mail

    Click "Save Password" and then "Finish"

    If you now click "OK" you will be connected to your Virtual Web Server.

    You will now be able to see a number of files and directories, you will only be interested in the "public_html" directory. This is the directory where you will store all your html files and images.

    The main page of your web site should be called index.html or index.htm (all lower case). Your index file is the first page people will see when they go to www.meadowselectrics.co.uk.

    Connecting to Us - For FrontPage Users

    Connecting to your new virtual server account is easy using Microsoft FrontPage software. To use Microsoft FrontPage to publish your site you will have chosen to install FrontPage Extensions on your virtual server.

    Here is how to publish your new virtual server using Microsoft FrontPage:-

    • Open FrontPage from your start menu
    • Open you FrontPage web
    • Click the FILE menu button, and choose "Publish FrontPage Web"
    • Enter your web address as http://www.meadowselectrics.co.uk and click OK

    • FrontPage will now publish your site to the web


    Your E-mail Settings

    Collecting your e-mail from your virtual server is simple and only takes a few minutes to setup.

    We would recommend that you use Microsoft Outlook Express, if you don't have a copy of this then you may download a copy from the Microsoft Site.

    First of all launch Outlook Express and select "Tool" from the top menu, once you have done this select "Accounts". You are now at a screen that allows you to setup a new POP3 account (a POP3 account is an account that stores mail on the server).

    On the right hand side of the screen that has appeared there is a button which says "Add", click this and select "Mail" from the list. You are now in the "Add a new mail box wizard". The details to enter in each box are below:-

    Display Name: Enter your real name here

    E-mail Address: Customer@meadowselectrics.co.uk (you may enter anything@meadowselectrics.co.uk in this box)

    Incoming Mail (POP3 or IMAP) Server: 79.170.44.88 ([mail.domain] once your domain name is registered or transferred to us)

    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: mail.your-isp.com (enter the name of your Internet Service Providers outgoing mail server in this box)

    Account Name: meadowsele

    Password: Enter the password that you received in your welcome e-mail
