Getting Started

This document introduces some of the tools which enable you to manage and use your Aplus.Net shared hosting account. It contains useful instructions on updating your domain settings, uploading your web site files and managing your account information.

DOMAIN NAME

If you have submitted a new domain name for registration with Aplus.Net, please allow up to 24 hours for this domain to become active within your hosting account. The activation time depends on the responsiveness of the Global Registry and is beyond our control. In the meantime, you can use your utility domain (see below) which allows you to begin work on your web site immediately after the account is paid for:

  • Utility Domain for UNIX-based shared hosting plans - ftpusername.web.aplus.net (please replace “ftpusername” with the FTP username associated with your hosting plan).
  • Utility Domain for WINDOWS-based shared hosting plans - ftpusername.win.aplus.net (please replace “ftpusername” with the FTP username associated with your hosting plan).

Here’s how you can upload your website to the Aplus.Net shared hosting servers:

If your hosted domain name is registered with another registrar company, please make sure that you contact them and request your domain DNS records to point to Aplus.Net’s Name Servers:

  • Primary Name Server: ns1.abac.com
  • Secondary Name Server: ns2.abac.com

Once this is done, your web site should start resolving to your domain name within 48 hours.

Here are two helpful links regarding domain names:

CONTROL PANEL

We have centralized all management functions related to your account in a single user-friendly interface. You can log into your Control Panel by logging to http://cp.aplus.net with your Registration Number and Account Password. In the Control Panel you will find many valuable tools developed to assist you in designing and marketing your website. Additional information on how to use the tools available in the Control Panel can be found in our Knowledge Base. Go to http://apluskb.com and ask your question including the name of the specific tool you are interested in.


EMAIL

Your new email accounts will become active once your hosted domain name has been successfully registered or transferred. Once this happens, you can simply log into the Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net and click on the Email tab to add and configure your accounts. We also provide you with a web-based interface to check your email which can be accessed by going to http://mail.yourdomain.com (please replace “yourdomain.com” with your hosted domain name).
