Can LAlink register
my domain for me, and how long does it take?
Yes, we
can register your domain for you, and have it active in 24-48 hours.
Can I design my
own website?
Yes, we offer ftp access to all of our hosting clients, which allows full
access to all of your website files. There are many site design programs
available, but we recommend Macromedia's
Dreamweaver because it provides the most acceptable html code that
is W3c compliant, which results in your site looking the same in most
web browsers.
What is FTP?
FTP is File Transfer Protocol, and it is the method by which you can transfer
(upload) your website files to the LAlink server. This access is protected
by username & password. You should never share your FTP access except
with those people who are directly involved in your website production.
What is POP3 &
SMTP?
POP3 is your incoming mail server & SMTP is your outgoing mail server.
Many internet access providers do not allow you to use any other SMTP
server than their own for sending mail. This is in an effort to control
the sending of SPAM email, or masses of sent email. You can either connect
directly to our mail server to both send and receive, or send through
your provider's mail server and read from our mail server. In either case,
your mail can be adressed from, and replied to an email account for your
domain which we host.
Why does my mail
client not allow me to login to my mail server?
Our mail server requires your user name to be your complete email
address: (you@yourdomain.com)
How do I use Lalink's
web based email reader to read my email from any computer?
Point the web browser to http://webmail.lalink.com (AOL users should use
our IP address: http://66.34.235.247:8383) Put in your username and password
and you are connected to your email account. From here you can access
your email, and configure all of your personal mail preferences as well
as change your password, set up auto responders, auto forwards, etc.
