388911 2005-09-17 03:57:00 As of yesterday 3:15pm, my payment has been received and domain had been registered.

How come I still can't access my cPanel? I'm on their Corporate plan.

Is it true that I have to wait up to 24 hours before it is fully activated and up and running?

Thanks all,
techie (7177)
388912 2005-09-17 04:05:00 The domain may not have had time to propagate yet so until then you could try to access CPanel using the server's IP address. Otherwise contact them directly and ask them how long it will take until you can access your account. :) maccrazy (6741)

Just rang them up and got:

"Sorry, I'm not a technical support person. They're not in until Monday"

...m... so what is the girl doing answering the phones?

388914 2005-09-17 04:36:00 Well, I guess at the prices they charge they must realise people want to be able to be able contact them 24/7 even if the person on the other end is a waste of time.

Try running a whois on the domain, then check that the domain is pointing to their domain servers and copy the IP address to see if you can access your site at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/~user. Note: some web hosts let users do this, some don't. :)

Thanks, doesn't seem to work. Anyone with KiwiWebHost able to confirm this for me?

I think I will need to just wait as KiwiWebHost states


NOTE: After changing name servers or registering a new domain name, it will take at LEAST 12 hours before you will be able to see your domain by going to www.yourdomain.co.nz This process normally takes between 12-72 hours. This delay, referred to as a DNS propagation delay, occurs with all hosts and is outside of our control. During this period, you may also experience intermittent connection to your domain. That is, it may become available, then disappear again a few hours later. This is also an artifact of the DNS propagation and will typically resolve itself within a few days after assigning the new name servers.

Until your domain fully resolves (1-3 days from the time you changed it) you will NOT be able to do the following:

View your domain at http://www.yourdomain.co.nz/
Check your mail (POP3, SMTP and Webmail will NOT work)
Publish using FrontPage extensions.

She might have been the cleaner. I hope she unplugged the "computer thing" to plug in her floor polisher. :cool:

Anyway, I'm sure she gets paid a lot less than the "tech guys".

Yes, you can access your website almost immediately after your account is set up. Details of the temporary URL that you can use are contained in your welcome email.
