THE VIRTUAL SERVER HANDBOOK

E mail Configuration Letter

Terminology

order date

This is the date you ordered your Virtual

Server.

activation date

The date that your Virtual Server was

activated. Your monthly billing statement

displays your activation date to determine

your first month s prorated service fee.

account ID

The account ID of this Virtual Server. This

information may be required by the our

Technical Support Staff in assisting you

with your account.

login name

Use your login name to access your Virtual

Server via FTP, TELNET, or SSH. For more

information about how to use FTP,

TELNET, or SSH to access your Virtual

Server, see later sections in this Getting

Started chapter.

server host

This is the name of the physical server or

"fish" which hosts your Virtual Server (we

have named our physical servers after fish).

domain name

This is the domain name you selected to use

as the primary domain name for your new

Virtual Server.

temporary domain name

The temporary domain name can be used in

place of domain name until such time that

your domain name is registered. This is

provided as a free service so that you can

access your Virtual Server while you wait

on the registration authority (e.g. InterNIC).

The temporary domain name only functions

for a few weeks following the setup of your

Virtual Server.

IP address

The IP address gives the precise Internet

address of your Virtual Server. You will

likely never need to use your IP address, in

part because the Domain Name System

(DNS) handles mapping between host and

Internet addresses.

domain registration info

Gives you precise instructions about your

domain registration status. An entire page is

devoted to domain registration in this

Getting Started section of our web site.
