1. How long does it take to register a domain
name? When your new domain name has been registered it will take 24 to 48 hours
to propagate around the world. During the propagation process your newly
registered domain is being updated by the various Internet providers around
the world at their own pace.
mickwood.com has no control over this process.
2. How do I access my control panel?
Before your new domain has been transferred you can use the following
URL, substituting your own IP address and your new domain name as
appropriate.
Format: http://IPAddress:81/.cobalt/siteManage/www.yourdomain.com/
Example: http://209.217.41.39:81/.cobalt/siteManage/www.mickwood.com/
After your new domain has been transferred you should use the following
URL, substituting your own domain name as appropriate. Format: http://www.yourdomain.com/siteadmin Example: http://www.mickwood.com/siteadmin
3. How do I setup a members only pop-up password

Simply send an email to enquiries@mickwood.com with the sub domain you
want created for your account and we will set up the sub domain for
you.

6. Where can I see my website statistics? To
view your web site stats go to your control panel (www.yoursite.com/siteadmin)
and click on Site Usage in the left menu. From there you will be able
to access statistics for web, mail, ftp and disk space.
7. How do I create custom error pages? Step
1: Open up a text editor (Notepad is fine) and create a file called .htaccess.
Type
in the following code: ErrorDocument 400 http://www.yoursite.com/errors/400.html
ErrorDocument 401 http://www.yoursite.com/errors/401.html
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.yoursite.com/errors/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yoursite.com/errors/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 http://www.yoursite.com/errors/500.html
Remember to replace www.yoursite.com with the name of your site. Step 2: Upload your .htaccess file into your main web directory where
your index.html file is located. It is a hidden file so it will disappear. Step 3: Create a directory named "errors" in your web directory. Step 4: Upload the custom error pages that you have made into your
errors folder. Name them according to their error: 400.html - Bad Request
401.html - Authorisation Required
403.html - Forbidden Error
404.html - File Not Found Error
500.html - Internal Server Error You do not need to use or create all of the error documents if you don't
want to - alter your .htaccess file accordingly. That's it!
8. How can I tell how much data transfer I
have used?
You can view your data transfer statistics from within your control
panel or by emailing enquiries@mickwood.com.
9. How
do I upgrade/ downgrade/ cancel my account?

request. No fee is charged for processing upgrades or downgrades. Please
note that cancellations take seven days to process after you submit
your
cancellation request.
10. When do you submit my site to search
engines?
You need to request your search engine submission. When you are ready
to have your site submitted please email your URL to enquiries@mickwood.com requesting the submission. You can only request a search engine submission
once every three months - you need to make a request each time.
11. At what speed will the server I am on be connected to the Internet?

(155MB) in size. Because our connections are true peering points utilizing
BGP4
and we maintain our own internal network, mickwood.com is not dependent
on any single Internet connection.

with Sprint, Cable & Wireless, Savvis Communications, and GTE Internetworking.
