How do I get started?

[charmela]

A basic question - sorry to have to ask, but this format is new to me, and some basic "getting started" info would be appreciated.

I have paid my initial 12 months subscription, and have a domain name.
All of the info wrt URL`s etc, as appears below, has been received.

So how do I get my website going?

My preference is for Front Page Extension, as I`ve used the Front Page programme before, and feel comfortable with it ("Websites for Dummies!)

Once I have the index page sorted out, I would also like to install a VBulletin Board. Should that be installed as sub-domain? Or can it be installed as a new page?

Sorry for asking such a basic Q.
Charmela.

Re: How do I get started?

Thank you for your reply, *****. I did watch the tutorial on Front Page Extension, and found it interesting, however it does not tell me how to access it.

As my previous post indicated, I have used Front Page previously when I made this website

http://www.hanmersprings.net

and I undertand the differences between Front Page, and Front Page Ext (wrt to storage of info, etc).
Building the above website, I simply constructed it using the FP programme, and then uploaded it to my host.

What I do not comprehend is how to get access to the Front Page Extension programme (that is apparently already in place), to get my new website underway.

Clicking on the Front Page Extension symbol simply gives me an instal/uninstall option.

Alternatively, can I use my Front Page programme that I used for the other website, and upload it on to my vodahost url?

Thanks again.

Just build your site with FP and publish (upload) it. Don't bother doing anything about FP extensions

Though, on a second thought, i suggest you use Bluevoda. It is much more easier to learn. In two or three days time you can be up and running

I am still unable to get any joy, and am unable to access my control panel via the link provided
SITE ADMINISTRATOR URL http://www.pirep.org/cpanelTEMPORARY SITE ADMINISTRATOR URLhttp://70.86.224.210/cpanel
client id is 4069

I've checked my Internet settings (internet Otions - connections...LAN & browser), and it all appears correct.

It's pretty frustrating having paid for an account, but being unable to use it.
Sort of like being shown a nice car, had all the good features explained, and being told how to operate it, but not being given the keys.

Charmela,
when you click on http://www.pirep.org/cpanel you are prompted to enter username and password. If after putting the correct data in there you still can't access your CP, it simply means that you don't have the correct data. If that is a case submit a support ticket and the Voda guys will contact you and let you know the correct info.
