 FTP/WEB PAGE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TIER 3 ACCOUNTS

 Chesapeake.Net Tier 3 accounts come standard with 10 MB of web storage space.   The storage space is accessible only to the primary email user name and password ,  so keep this in mind if you have more than one email account with Chesapeake.Net .

 Your web site  address is: http://www.yourdomain.com
 (Where "yourdomain" is the domain name  specified by you at the time of account signup)

 To upload files to  this web address you will need an FTP client program, such as CuteFTP   or any of the clients listed on the CWS  Applications page (we recommend CuteFTP 3.0, but any client listed  on CWS will work).  Once you have downloaded and installed an FTP  client, you will need to configure it to connect to Chesapeake.Net .

 The connection settings  you will need to enter into your FTP program:

  • Host Address: www.chesapeake.net
  •  

  • User ID: Shell  Account user name (See Account Setup Information sheet)
  •  

  • Password: Shell  Account password (See Account Setup Information sheet)
  •  

  •  Initial Remote  Directory: /pub/www/yourdomain

 For instance, in CuteFTP  3.0, you would enter these settings like this:

  • First, click the Site  Manger Button on the main button bar, as shown below.

CuteFTP 3.0 Button Bar 

     

  •  Next, click the "Add  site" button in the FTP Site Manager window.

CuteFTP 3.0 Site Manager 

  • Finally, enter all of the  information as shown below, and click "OK."

CuteFTP 3.0 Add Host 

 Please Note: Only files stored  in the " /pub/www/yourdomain " subdirectory of your Chesapeake.Net  account are visible via  your web site address.

 This subdirectory is not visible from  your root directory, and must be entered into the Initial Local  Directory field of CuteFTP in  order to view it, or you can manually  change to this subdirectory using your FTP client.

 If you are unsure how to access this directory using your FTP program, consult your client's  online help, or contact Technical  Support.

 If you wish to access your web  site via FrontPage Server Extensions (an option only available to  our Tier 3  customers), you must contact Chesapeake.Net in order to transfer the site to our FrontPage Web Server.

 Tier 3 users have a 300 MB limit on the amount of bandwidth your site  can use.  If your site transmits any more  than 300 MB per  month,  $10 per each additional 100 MB will be charged to your  account.


 Please contact us at support@chesapeake.net if you require  further information or assistance with yourChesapeake.Net e-mail service, or call our Technical Support staff at 1-877-764-4638.
