2. How soon will my account
be set up and ready for use? Account orders are
placed in a queue and are processed in the order in which
they are received. Once your account has been created, you
will be able to upload files, set up email accounts, etc. However,
your site will not be visible to the internet until your
DNS information has been changed with your domain name registrar
and has propagated. DNS propagation typically takes
24-72 hours.

3. Do I have access to update

Whether you're a day person or a night owl, your site is
always available for you to update.

4. Can you register a domain
name for me? Can you set up domains other
than .com, .org, and .net? We can register
.com, .org, and .net names for $8.99 per year, with you as
the domain registrant. To register your domain go to the
very top of this page enter the domain name and click go.
We can also assist with registering other domains, as well
(fees for registering other domains will vary by country).

5. Do you offer a money back
guarantee? Yes. If for any reason during the first
30 days as a JackpotHost.com customer you are not completely
satisfied with any of our services, we will cancel your account
and refund your money for that month's service. After
the first 30 days, all payments are non refundable.

6. I see some hosts offering "unlimited
bandwidth". Why don't you offer this? Technically
speaking, there is no such thing as "unlimited bandwidth."
Someone has to pay for the traffic somewhere - and if you check
the fine print of some service agreements from companies who
claim to offer unlimited bandwidth, you'll probably find that
they do charge for traffic over a certain amount. We dispense
with the fine print.

7. Do you host Adult sites,
warez sites or sites containing illegal material? No.
Please see our Acceptable Use Policy for policies regarding
this.

8. Is my site backed up and
how often? It is YOUR responsibility to do all
back ups of your site. If, in the unfortunate event, something
happens to your files, it is your responsibility to have
a local copy of your files. We are NOT held liable in any
way for any files, money, time, effort, etc... lost due to
this unfortunate event. Furthermore, if your files are lost,
we will attempt to restore them as a gesture of good faith,
but make no promises what so ever about whether the files
will be brought back successfully or not. Again, back ups
are the client's responsibility.

9. How fast are your connections? Our
new servers are located in a much, much better connected facility
located in Fremont, CA. The facility has been engineered with
HVAC environmental systems, digital surveillance, stringent
security and conditioned uninterruptible power. The facility
is connected to national backbones witch are ranked among the
top in the nation. Connections ranging from OC48s (2.4 Gbps)
to gigabit ethernet (1,000 Mbps) form rings around the nation
connecting the facility core routers at several major exchange
points including:
PAIX Palo Alto, CA
Equinix San Jose, CA
Equinix Ashburn, VA
MAE-West San Jose, CA
MAE-East Vienna, VA
AADS Chicago, IL
NYIIX New York, NY
Also featuring self-healing network
architecture witch virtually eliminates a single point of failure.
In addition to the backbone, there is also backup transit from
multiple providers in multiple locations to ensure that your
data will arrive via the shortest possible routes. Because
of the backup transit and the many international peers, our
network maintains the shortest routes for sending your data
all over the world. This translates to "100%" network
uptime. No Cogent here.

information to retrieve email from your POP account:

3. I want to get started right
away, but my domain name hasn't transferred/isn't in the
database yet. How do I do it? After your domain
is fully propagated through the system, you can upload to
yourdomain.com via FTP or FrontPage Extensions.

4. What is the path to perl? #!/usr/bin/perl
[Back to top]
5. Where should I put CGI scripts
for my domain? All CGI scripts should be uploaded
to the cgi-bin folder, for your domain. Be sure to follow
the instructions for the script you are uploading regarding
setting permissions on the files and folders you create,
as they vary from script to script
[Back to top]
6. I uploaded my files, but
I don't see my page? If our default "Welcome
to the Future home of", index.html, has not been replaced
by another index page, then anyone going to domainname.com
will still see that page instead of some other home page.
This is the order in which the web server looks for a page
to put up as the
"home" page: >DirectoryIndex: index.html, index.shtml Just
delete the index.html file and anything after it in this list
will then come up automatically. Notice that "home.shtml" is
NOT on the list and so will not show up as your home page. You
would need to rename it.
