Domain - Answers

What do I need to do in order to transfer my web site from my current hosting provider to you?
All you will need to do is update your DNS records into the following.
Primary DNS : ns1.astrahosting.com 207.44.202.57
Secondary DNS: ns2.astrahosting.com 216.127.66.108

How do I update (change) my DNS records?
Simply go to the place where you registered your domain name. Log in to your account and change the details where it says primary & secondary DNS. Instead of the details that are there at the moment (your current hosting provider or the domain register' servers) type the following: (Webhostingjava.net.net's servers):

Primary DNS : ns1.astrahosting.com 207.44.202.57
Secondary DNS: ns2.astrahosting.com 216.127.66.108

If someone else registered your domain name on your behalf you will need to contact them and ask them to update your DNS into the above.

On the other hand, you can let us do all this for you. It is a complimentary service and will not cost you anything. You will need to give us the login name and password of the site where you brought the domain and we will do the rest for you!

How long does a registration of a new domain take?
New domain will be registered couple of hours upon the receipt of your request.
Your registered domain name will be functional 24-48 hours from when you register it.
This is because the DNS databases need some time to synchronize and refresh the information for your domain.

I want to transfer my hosting from my existing provider to you. To do this will I need to transfer my domain name too?
No you will not need to transfer your domain name. What you will need to do is update the DNS records so that they are now pointing to our servers. It's free to do this. See Above question for "how to" instructions.

What are your Domain Name Servers (DNS)?
Primary DNS : ns1.astrahosting.com 207.44.202.57

Yes we can register .com .biz .org .net .ws .info .us domain names at the cost of $18 per year.
 

Am I the owner of the domain that Webhostingjava.net.net registers for me?
Yes. We register domains on your behalf. That domain is completely your property; we only do administrative work and give technical support.

Do I need to have a registered domain name to have a web site online?
You don't necessarily have to have a registered domain in order for us to host your web site. You can have an address such as www.YOURSITE.Webhostingjava.net.net. However, by registering your own domain you secure your or your company's existence on the Internet. Even if you do not plan to upload a website at this moment, by registering your own domain you save www.mycompany.com from being registered by somebody else.

What domain extensions can you host?
Yes we can host ANY domain name extensions.

Can you host international (country specific) domain names?

Emails - Answers

Will I be able to check my emails when I am away from my home/office computer?
Yes, We have web mail option. What this means is that you can log on to the internet (to the address we will give you once you sign up) and check your mail from any computer that has internet access.

How to configure my Outlook Express for receiving e-mail messages?
1. Choose Accounts from Tools pull-down menu.
2. You will see all the accounts that you have in Outlook Express. Click Add.
3. Outlook Wizard will take over. Be careful about few details: For Mail Server Type choose POP3. For Incoming Mail type pop3.yourdomain.com For Outgoing Mail type smtp.yourprovider.com Yourprovider.com determines ISP of your Internet access. POP Account Name: username@yourdomain.com *username is a user name chosen at the time of registration. If you configure your Outlook Express in this way, you will be able to receive and send e-mail messages with your own domain address.

How much space do I have for every email account?
The size limit for your email account is determined by the space of the disc of your web package (for example, if you have a regular web package, the size is 500 MB together with other information's and setup files).

I cannot login to the POP or SMTP servers to send/retrieve my email?
Make sure you specified the correct POP and SMTP servers in your email settings, and that your user ID (or alias) and password are correct. Your POP and SMTP servers should be set to pop3.yourdomain.com and smtp.yourdomain.com. Also for e-mail you must use username@yourdomain.com or username#yourdomain.com for login and your password for password.

What are POP3 Accounts?
POP3 accounts are email accounts that you can receive email from your visitors on the Internet. They allow you to receive email only. (We recommend that you send your email through your SMTP of your Internet Service provider.) POP3 accounts come with their own username and password to access them. With POP3 email, you can create a very well organized site with different POP3 accounts for different areas of your web pages.

What are Email auto responders?
Email auto responders allow you to setup an email account with the ability to auto-reply with a given message when someone sends email to it. It looks like a pop account. You have probably seen one when you send email to somewhere and it comes right back with We got your email or something to that effect. That was most likely an auto responder.

mainwebsite_html/info.domain.com/

Upload the contents for those web sites into their respective sub-directories
.

What I need to do so that my CGI scripts can work at Webhostingjava.net.net servers?

Do not erase your .htaccess file in your mainwebsite_html dir because that will brake your Frontpage Extensions configuration):

Options +FollowSymlinks
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl

After that in editor create a simple test program:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

How to setup servlets?


Servlet Set Up - READ CAREFULLY

To setup servlet, you need to configure servlet into the file web.xml which needs to be placed in /var/www/html/WEB-INF directory.

www root directory or webapps:/var/www/html
Classes directory located in: /var/www/html/WEB-INF/Classes/
There you will need to upload your Java class file.

Our default url-mapping for servlet is: /servlet/*
To check servlet in your browser:
www.mydomain.net/servlet/HelloWorld
Jsp Files - Upload anywhere in /var/www/html

DOUBLE CHECK:
Double Check that that url-mapping for servlers is entered correctly in web.xml
Double Check that Java class file is uploaded in the correct place.
Without these two things your servlet will not work.
 

Viewing Tomcat Logs
By default all the logging activity will be placed within the /var/log/ directory of your application.
If a telnet shell is enabled on your account then 'tailing' the logs can provide a powerful tool in debugging your web application.
Viewing the logs is recommended when you suspect that errors are occurring during the loading/reloading of your web application.
To get telnet access you'll need to request it, it is not enabled by default on all accounts.

Connect jsp <> mysql
Example

Please make sure that you have created database through the control panel and that you have setup password for db.
Write down your database name - this is very important!
