Server details, tracer route and common
programs location
To start you up, some quick notes about your account: Some of this info
you might not need for years. Just save it somewhere where you can find
it.
Important info
- Web-visible directory is /www
- YOUR
html files, (and htm, and shtml,
and jpg, and any other files to appear on your website)
go into your /www directory and subdirectories below that.
- You can create directories in your accout outside the
/www,
but you will not be able to see them from the web.
- Scripts can be executed from any directory!
- You CAN make a
cgibin (don't use cgi-bin)
to keep your cgi files easier to find, but you can execute CGI files
anywhere. With Counties they go into the directory with your user name
or subdirectories thereof.
- Do not forget to set the executable permissions for your CGI scripts
(
chmod 755 filename with Telnet or FTP if your client supports
it) correctly
- Upload your Perl scripts in
ASCII/TEXT mode
- UNIX is case sensitive!
- Remember that our system is SeNsItIvE to upper and lower case directory
and file names
- Don't forget default directory indexes!
-
index.shtml, index.html, index.cgi,
index.htm are the default-loading home pages for any directory
(directory indexes, in descending priority order)
- SSI are enabled
- Server-side includes (SSI) are enabled both for
*.shtml
and *.html pages. We fully support Webmonkey XSSI.
- Preset directories
-
cgi-bin, stats and icons are
default or commonly shared directories - DO NOT USE THOSE NAMES!
- Don't delete the preset directories unless you are sure you won't
use them (some are required for stats, etc.)
Billing
To save time and resources, your bill will be sent to you via E-mail
ONLY it will be for next quarter usage charges, plus new accounts and/or
extra features (if any) in the past term. For VAR's who may add items
during a billing cycle, a live on-line invoice is available for them.
e-mail issues
You can have POP accounts (username@yourdomain.com) and
Vanity addresses. A Vanity address is anyname@yourdomain.com
that is forwarded to your POP account or to your ISP based mail account.
We do not offer SMTP accounts, unless you have a static IP.
- Mail Abuse
- Mail is NOT a storage area and mail is not to be left on the server.
The more mail you get, the more often it should be retrieved. If you
can not retrieve your mail in a normal manner because of travelling,
etc. tell us in advance so that we can make exceptions and not treat
it as abandoned.
- Minor Mail Abuse
- "Oversize" (more than one MegaByte of mail left more than 24 hours)
or
- "Abandoned" (over half a MegaByte of mail left over a week) will
be deleted automatically and without prior warning or subsequent notification.
This is done automatically and no further action will be taken.
- Major Mail Abuse
- Spamming
- Address forging
- Harassment
- Please refer to our Terms and Conditions
of Service for more details
Major Mail Abuse will be treated on a case by case basis. We will not
simply believe any accusations but will investigate thoroughly. If we
find that a client has indeed commited a Major Mail Abuse, that mail account
will be terminated.

ALERT
If you received a phony postcard pick-up notice,
claiming to be from a family member, or other vague source,
then that is just an illegal spoof and NOT from us.
Just like Elvis, Ebay and PayPal, we too suffer from impersonators. Such is the price
of fame.
Mypostcards.com sells postcard SOFTWARE,
but does
NOT send postcards.
Do not click on anything in the spoof. Just dump it.
Since your spoof did not come from us,
we can not unsubscribe you from anything.
You can send the spoof to the Spamcops at
http://www.spamcop.net/
They will analyze it and show you where it really came from.
