Hi all,
This is a very basic question and I apologize if this post is a repeat of other threads. I haven't been able to find the answer in the forums or in the hosting FAQ and Getting Started Guide.
I registered my domain names a few days ago, and I would like to start working on the content of my site, but I can't figure out how to access the control panel for the domain that I registered. I previously started working on a site using the free subdomain of ProZ, and I... See more Hi all,
This is a very basic question and I apologize if this post is a repeat of other threads. I haven't been able to find the answer in the forums or in the hosting FAQ and Getting Started Guide.
I registered my domain names a few days ago, and I would like to start working on the content of my site, but I can't figure out how to access the control panel for the domain that I registered. I previously started working on a site using the free subdomain of ProZ, and I still have access to that control panel. I read in the Start Up Guide to go to www.mydomain.com/cpanel to access my control panel, but when I do this the site isn't found and so instead a Google search comes up (and I am changing "mydomain" to my actual domain name).
Can anyone explain how to access my control panel and/or point me in the direction of information that would clarify how to do this?
Thank you for your help. ▲ Collapse

Not too sure about your situation but a domain name needs to be hosted (different from registered) by a service provider before you can have a website.

I believe I should have free ProZ hosting as a paid member. However, I am not sure exactly how to verify if that is the case.

Because I started working on the free subdomain of ProZ, and I do not have the upgraded hosting option, I think I need to have the free site deleted because ProZ only hosts one domain at a time if you don't have the upgraded option. I am going to put in a support request to have the free domain deleted.

Check if you have entered name server addresses for your domain correctly. In any case, your hosting service provider should help you.

So how did you solve your problem ? I have exactly the same problem.
How did you get rid of the free subdomain of ProZ and start working with your own domain ?
