Url Change.

[NedWreck]

Hi!

 

I used to have publichealthlaw.org. I never got it running thanks to my ignorance.

TotalChoice did my hosting but like an idiot, I registered my URL somewheres else.

I should still have an account with TotalChoice (I think) although I don't have that URL anymore.

 

How do I register a new name to an existing account? I faqed and searched and couldn't find an answer so I thought I'd ask here. If this is the wrong forum for this type of question, please accept my apolgies.

You first need to make sure that you have an account with TCH. =) Then submit a ticket to the Help Desk including your username and ask them to park it for you.

So the domain may be yours if this is you, until 2008. The site is still there, well at least there are some of your files so I assume you still have an account.

'Tis me, allright. Up til now, I couldn't get it to load in a browser.

I still can't go to CPanel even though I know my username and password are correct.

So, now that we know I'm still a customer, how do I register a new domain name for it?

Thanks for your help, btw.

You don't need a new domain, your old one is yours till 2008 and it is already pointing to TCH. Just use what you have.

 

I still can't go to CPanel even though I know my username and password are correct.

 

passwords are case sensitive, be sure you have the case correct. If not submit a helpdesk ticket and have them help you with the forgotten password.

 

 

I couldn't get it to load in a browser.

 

You are missing the default start page, an index.html for instance. Without one of these default startup files you only get a directory listing of all the files and folders. So start with that, build your first page and run with wht you got...you are already set with everything else.

You could just purchase a new domain and have it parked over top of the one you currently have. Then people can enter your new or old domain name and get to your site.

 

To park the new domain open a Help Desk ticket. (link above)

Purchasing a second domain and parking it will leave him exactly where he is now...except a little poorer and with two URL's that don't work.

 

He needs to upload some web pages to get the current site working. He has an account here and he has a domain pointing to here. When you go to the domain you are shown his files and folders. A couple of image files and an image folder and so on.

 

I think nedwreck was asking the wrong questions initially.

[TCH-Bruce]

You are correct Bob. He should open a Help Desk ticket and have his password changed so he can login to cPanel.
