An FTP site can come in very handy if your business has data files that you want your clients to access easily. Unfortunately we do not allow any illegal movies, mp3 or simillar FTP sites. FTP transfers will be added to your diskspace and bandwidth monthly quota limit. So if you have many or large files we suggest you look at one of our bigger hosting packages.
To set up an FTP account in cPanel log in to your cPanel via our site or via yourdomain.co.za/cpanel. In cPanel look for the Files section. Underneath that click on FTP Accounts. Type in the login(username) that you want for your account and then the password. cPanel will automatically create a folder for you which is the same as the login name, though you can change the folder name. You can even create a quota that will only allow that amount of data on that FTP site. When you’re done, click on Create FTP Account.
To login to your FTP account type ftp.yourdomain.co.za in your browser. Please note the username you use must be the full name for example: example@domain.co.za and then your password. This is only for addon FTP accounts, your main FTP account for your website only needs to be the login(username) you created.

Blog design and setup, now for only R50
What is a Blog?
A blog is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting), which are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs. With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning – that of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.

This is one of the questions we get asked the most. It is actually very quick and simple. When you order a hosting package from Definite Web Hosting you will get a welcome e-mail(domain activation) which contains all the configuration settings that you will need to upload and maintain your website.
Now, if your domain has not been registered yet or hasn’t finished propogation, you will need to follow these steps. Look for the header Publishing Your Website. Then look for Temporary Host Name, next to it you will see something like this: ftp://75.102.28.5
You need to copy & paste or type this in your web browser.
If Internet Explorer returns an error, just right-click anywhere and select login as.
Type in your username and password which is also in the Welcome e-mail under General Information.
The window will open with some files and folders in it. You need to copy your website files into either the Public HTML folder or the WWW folder.
The WWW folder is actualy only a shortcut to Public HTML. If your domain is not yet registered you can view your website at the Preview URL supplied under Genereal Information in the Welcome e-mail. Preview URL is your access to your account until your domain name is transferred and pointed to our servers.
If your domain is allready registered and you want to upload your website files, you just need to type in ftp.yourdomain.com in your web browser and log in with the same username and password. This information is also supplied under General Information in the Welcome email.
