I have been hearing some buzz lately about Net Neutrality.  It seems like an important issue.  What do you think?  It it something we should be concerned about?  If so what can we do?

See the details here:

[What is the policy for SMTP?]

What is the policy for SMTP?

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and it is a commonly used service for the sending of email. 

Our NEW policy now allows for sending of email through SMTP with hosting accounts.  This is for casual use only and we monitor heavily for abuse.  If you require anything stronger than casual use, we recommend using SMTP service provided through your ISP.  For mass mailings and mailing list management, contact support for available options.

[What the heck is a control panel?]

What the heck is a control panel?

A control panel is a place for you to manage your domain on the web server. It is your online interface (web page) where you can change settings for email, manage passwords, databases, backups and stuff like that.  Here at HostNed, we provide only premium control panels -- Cpanel and Plesk.

[How do I publish my site using FrontPage and FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE)?]

How do I publish my site using FrontPage and FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE)?

    Publish Your FrontPage Web to a Web Server with FrontPage Extensions
    (Instructions may vary slightly depending on the version of FP you are using.)

   1. In FrontPage, open the Web you want to publish.
   2. On the File menu, click Publish Web.
      NOTE: For additional information if the Publish Web command is unavailable, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      306010 FP2000: Publish Web Command Unavailable and Appears Dimmed
   3. In the Publish Web dialog box, type the path of the destination Web server. For example, type

      http://www.microsoft.com/myweb
   4. Click Options to expand the list of options.
   5. Specify whether you want to publish only pages that have changed or all pages.
   6. Click Publish.

    FrontPage attempts to communicate with the FrontPage Server Extensions on the destination Web server. If the server extensions are properly installed on the destination server, this is all you need to do.

    If the FrontPage Server Extensions are not found on the destination Web server, the following message appears:

    The server could not complete your request. Contact your Internet service provider or Web server administrator to make sure that the server has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed. For more specific information, click Details.

    When you click OK, FrontPage returns you to the Publish Web dialog box.

[What is the new version of Frontpage?]

What is the new version of Frontpage?

Many people are buying new computers and wanting to still manage their websites with Frontpage.  The problem is that Frontpage is not fully compatible with new PCs.  There is however a new product from Microsoft that succeeds Frontpage.  It is called Expression Studio Web Professional and it can be used in the same way as Frontpage.

[I have registered a new domain name and want to use it. What are my options for adding this name to my account?]

I have registered a new domain name and want to use it. What are my options for adding this name to my account?

1) If your registrar offers 'stealth forwarding', 'frame forwarding'. or any other type of forwarding, you can link it to your current domain in that fashion.
2) You can purchase an independent hosting account for the new domain name.  This is better than option 1 since it will provide the new domain it's own email and independent identity.
3) Your hosting account may support "add-on domains" or "domain aliasing".
4) Upgrade to an account that handles multiple independent domains such as SDL-R or dedicated server.

[How do I set my nameservers for my domain name?]

How do I set my nameservers for my domain name?

To change the NameServer settings on your domain name, you must log in to the site of your Domain Name Registrar. If your domain name is registered through DomainsNed, you can use these specific instructions below; otherwise, if you are with Godaddy, Register.com or elsewhere, you can use this as a general guide or contact your registrar for specific instructions.
