Hello,

Your ".ws" is yours to do whatever you want with; however, when it comes to indecent content or advertisements you may not post your URL in the forum under Showcase Your Website.

Is there a way to get a potential customer directly to the page where they can check a domain name availability?

This afternoon my site won't seem to load if I enter the the www. in my domain name.


Alll links are find as long as don't include the w's

For example http://www.giftshop.ws hangs up and won't load but
http://giftshop.ws loads no problem.

I just wanted to know if it was something to do with hosting or my coding.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Julie -  if I go to your site I get the following message:-
This is the placeholder for domain giftshop.ws. If you see this page after uploading site content you probably have not replaced the index.html file.

This page has been automatically generated by Plesk.
So you have not uploaded your files to the correct place or your DNS settings are incorrect

Hello all,

I was just wondering what exactly does the package offer in terms of bandwidth, storage capacity, etc.

Also, I am planning to use Wordpress here.  Is that possible?  How?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

See http://www.website.ws/USERID/hosting for the first questions and you would have to use the hosting option for Wordpress.
You will need scripting capability so you would have to use .htacess.

Hi Everyone,
This is Missy and I am kinda new at this computer thing although I am learning fast! Can someone tell me how to "ftp" my content to the GDI server for hosting? I have everything else done, but can't figure out how to do that! I would appreciate any help! Thanks and have a good day.

You need an FTP program like CuteFTP or WSFTP and then you put in the address and transfer the files. Some programs like Frontpage and Hotdog have built in FTP facilities.

I actually have my own server since I do that on the side anyways. One issue that I had from the start with gdi is I knew that their webhosting was not going to be that great BUT as far as the income opportunity I think it is fine if that is what you are looking to do. Now if you are trying to market to more knowledgable people as far as web designers and other web hosts then you will be stuck. What I offer my members is the option to host with me as I have unlimited space and I do not charge for this service at all as long as they are on my team. Now most gdi members do not access to their own servers but some may.

GDI I do not see having a real control panel like cpanel with an x or x2 skin etc but they could in the future but I highly doubt it. Once people start to be able to create db's and host scripts it will cause a world of irritants for them. Most people trying to upload forums and other tpyes of scripts mostly do not know how to do it and then the gdi support will be blanketed with emails from people who may not know what they are doing.

No matter how you look at it I pay my $10 a month and soon to be free for the home based business only. I do not plan on hosting with the gdi servers even though they seem fast I do my own search engine optimization and need keyword tracking etc that I see never being supported.

Hi
I am on the 7 day trial.
I set my domain yourwayhome.ws to forward but when I try to access it I get a 'you are not authorised to view' message.
I have checked that the address is right.

I've had no answer from cust serv for about 30+ hours now.

Please help.

Also I want to take the initials out of my name as it looks ridiculous to have them quoted everywhere. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

In the back office click on Domains and then underneath your domain name click on Change Settings.

A new window pops up and choose Domain & Email Forwarding.  Then just fill in the blanks.

How many Domains can I set up? I know you can set up 10 e-mails, but was not sure on how many domains. I have one set up now and I like to set up 2 more. Thanks in advance: OnlineBlessings4u <>< Eric

Hello everybody,

I just purchased a .ws domain.
I thought it was taken 'cause the link already has his page with general information about this gdi project.
Well, the info on that site was from website.ws hisself.
They had a great site, and changes everytime I refresh the page.
Is this a standard template which I can use by only change my name for the affiliate?

Hope to hear from you soon!
