Domain
Questions
1)
How do I get all of my domains working
with What's for Supper?
Quite
simple. If you can pull up your Activation
Email, you'll notice DNS entries to
plug in to your registrar. You will
need to go to the provider whom you
registered your domain name from (ex:
networksolutions.com), login to your
master domain panel and update your
domains 'NAME SERVERS.'
You
will then point your domain to the domain
Name Server of your choice.
Of
course, if you need assistance with
this (as we have helped out in the past
with others) please don't hesitate to
contact
us via our live support center.

3)
Why doesn't my web site work yet?
Upon
activation, it will take your site 4-72
hours to update DNS entries AROUND the
globe. In english, every DNS "phone
book" (so to speak) will be updated
within a MAXIMUM of 72 hours and at
that time, anyone in the world can access
your site. YOU may be able to access
your site within 4 hours, but people
4 blocks from you, may not be able to
access your site until 24 hours from
now (it's really work how the system
works). :-/
This
is true with ANY web host. SO, if you
would like, you may access your web
site by visiting the following URL (so
you may test things out)
http://whatsforsupper.net/~username/
Just
replace USERNAME with the username assigned
to you in your Activation Email. :-)

4)
What are the name servers for my site?
These
name servers are located in your Activation Email. They look something
like NS1.WHATSFORSUPPER.NET | 64.62.139.113 ; NS2.WHATSFORSUPPER.NET
| 64.62.139.114. Something like is what you will be looking for.
PLEASE DO NOT ASSIGN YOUR NAME SERVERS to the ones in this example
unless you are certain these are yours. :-) Please allow 4-72
hours for global DNS updates to update your DNS entries. :-)
Of
course, if you need assistance with
this, please don't hesitate to contact
