I am currently hosted by another company and already have a domain name, can I have my site hosted by you instead?

Yes, you can! After you signing up with us, all you have to do is update your domain's name servers to point to our name servers (the details for our nameservers will be sent out once you sign up). This can be done either by yourself or via the company from which you purchased your domain name. The transition typically takes from 24 to 48 hours.

How do I upload my web pages to my account?

The process by which files are transferred to the web server is called FTP (File Transport Protocol). You have unlimited access to your web space via FTP 24-hours a day. As such, you can create and maintain your web pages on your own computer and upload files to your web site at your leisure.

To use FTP you need a piece of software installed on your computer called an FTP client. We recommend Filezilla which can be downloaded from http://snapfiles.com/. Many popular web design packages also come with FTP software functionality included (such as Frontpage and Dreamweaver).

To connect to your site by FTP, you will need to configure your FTP client with the following settings:

FTP Host: ftp.yourdomain
Username: your account username
Password: your account password

All support enquiries can be made via E-mail at enquiries@urbantechnology.co.nz.

In addition, pre-sales, invoice and custom web design enquiries can be made to Urban Technology between 11.00am - 3.00pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday
