Frequently Asked Question
 |
What
is web hosting? |
|
To
help you understand web hosting, we have developed a
simple analogy. But first, some definitions:
 |
Web
site - a group of files and programs that reside
on a very robust computer connected to the internet.
|
 |
Web
server - a computer that stores the files and
programs that make up the site and then allows
visitors to access and read those files. |
 |
Web
host - an interconnected group of web servers
containing web site data, that other computers
can access through the internet. Web hosts also
provide technical resources and web site maintenance.

What are the
advantages of having a web host? |
|
You don't have to
invest tens of millions of dollars or endure technical
headaches, in order to build and maintain your hosting
infrastructure. We monitor the network. We protect your
data. You focus on your business.

How do I move
my existing web site to Felix Technologies? |
|
Make sure you have
a copy of all your web site files, including images,
sound and video clips and other files, on your personal
computer. After you purchase a Felix Technologies hosting, simply
use an FTP program to transfer all your files to your
new web site. |

What is an
email POP account and email alias?
|
|
A POP email account
is a private password protected email account. This
is the same as your email from your ISP. An email alias
is an email address which forwarded or directed to an
existing POP account. Think of it as email forwarding.
For example, the aliases info@your_domain.com will forward
to the main POP account (or email account) your_name@.aol.com

What are e-mail
aliases? |
|
An e-mail alias makes
it possible to have e-mail forwarded from one address
to another. Example: You could have e-mail that is sent
to you@somedomain.com forwarded to you@someotherdomain.com.
You could also have e-mail sent to info@somedomain.com
forwarded to you@somedomain.com. |

Do you provide
a cgi-bin directory? |
|
Yes, you have unlimited
access to your own cgi-bin. |

 |
How long is
it before my site is available on the internet?
|
|
Once you have updated
your domain registrar it generally takes 24 to 72 hours
before all of the name servers around the internet are
updated. |

 |
I already
have web-page hosted elsewhere. Can I move here? |
|
Yes, just be sure
to specify that you are requesting a transfer and not
a new domain. You should keep the service with your
current provider while waiting for Felix Technologies to complete
the transfer process. We will provide you with a temporary
IP address so you can mirror the site on our server.
All e-mail and web pages will still be accessed from
your current site. When Felix Technologies announces the completion
of the transfer there is a 72 hour propagation period
where visitors could go to either site. At the end of
the 72 hours you should contact your previous host to
have them delete the old domain from their records and
update their DNS record. If you use this same provider
for your Internet access you will not be able to access
your domain site until they update their DNS. When we
file a modification, one of the current listed contacts
must ok the move. Felix Technologies will send an email that
you must ok to have the redirection of your domain completed.
If the contact email on your domain has changed from
the time you originally registered it, you will need
to fax a authorization to complete the process using
a tracking number we will provide upon request. |
