Cpanel & webMail - New User

[abento200947]

Hello,

I am very new at this and just set up my domain andybento.x10.mx. I tried clicking on webmail and cpanel but it does not load. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Andy

Hello,

Please define "it does not load", what error message are you receiving?

Try logging into cPanel via one of these two URLs:
https://stoli.x10hosting.com:2083 (SSL)
http://stoli.x10hosting.com:2082 (non-SSL)

Thanks for the response.

I get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Hello,

Did you try both URLs Skizzerz posted before?

 

[abento200947]

Yes, that is correct. The only think I can think of is that I am in a corporate environment with a firewall in front?

Hello,

That may explain it. Do you access the internet via some kind of proxy? It may be a web content filter of some kind.

 

[abento200947]

yup, that looks like it was the issue. I can connect to the login page now but can't login. I have tried both my account, bentoa or abento200947 and still tells me invalid login. I must be doing something wrong?

Hello,

The correct username is showing as bentoa.
Could you try resetting your password as per these instructions?: http://x10hosting.com/wiki/How_to_Change_Your_cPanel_Password
Also, please confirm the exact URL in your address bar at the login screen.

Actually got everything to work! Thanks! Just sent up the email accounts and now able to receive emails on my domain.

Quick question, is there a link for tutorial on how to customize a homepage? I am trying to figure out how to change my homepage and add my html codes for school.

Hello,

As for actually making the pages, Google is a valuable resource. Just have a play around. Start with something basic such as html and just build on it from there. w3schools is supposed to be very good: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
As for the uploading to your x10 account, please see: http://x10hosting.com/wiki/How_to_Upload_Files_to_Your_Website

Thanks.

Awesome thanks. Just on that note, when I upload a file such as (example) test_code.html to that public www location, I would be able to see the changes of my webpage (such as color codes, paragraphs of words, etc...?)?

Hello,

Any pages you want to appear at example.com would need to go into your public_html or www directory. If you wanted to see it at example.com/test, you'd need to put the files into /public_html/test. Changes are applied as soon as you upload the new version, however you will need to refresh the page in your browser to see any changes (F5 is usually the shortcut).

Thanks.

 

[abento200947]

Ok, thanks! Will try that tonight. Much appreciated for the fast responses!
