Just the FAQS  

Each web hosting account comes with it's own unique IP number. 
(I.E. It's own internet address.) You can access any aspect of your website, file or directory structure using your IP number just like a domain name. 

A new domain registration takes about 2 days to propagate throughout the web and be recognized online. 

Name servers and InterNic - domain name Basics 

There is no charge to transfer your domain. We will give you a unique IP address which is a numbered address for your web site.

It is easy to switch and generally takes about 1-3 days for your domain address to propagate throughout the web. 

Your web will be accessible by you within minutes of sign-up using your IP.  

•  Who is the InterNIC?
  The InterNIC is an independent organization responsible for holding the registration and routing of Internet domain names. Without these people it would be virtually impossible to maintain sanity on the Internet.  Register your domain through us and pay only $12.97/year.  If you decide to transfer your existing domain over to Cyberiot.com, you will not have to pay this fee to us. However, you will have to pay for your domain through your existing registration company.
• What is a Virtual Domain?  
  A Virtual Domain means having your own domain name (http://www.your-name.com) without having to install expensive server hardware and software.  With a Virtual Domain, you utilize our server's storage space, however you are still professionally represented via your own personal Internet web address domain name (www.your-name.com) and by your own personal e-mail address domain name. (you@your-name.com) 

•  NAME SERVERS
  Name Server: Also called a virtual host, host, virtual name server, name server, or virtual server and it all refers to the same thing, the computer that has both the software and the data (zone files) needed to resolve domain names to Internet Protocol (IP) numbers.

  Name servers act as the translators between the IP address and the domain name address. Example: CybeRiot.com uses NS.CybeRiot.com as the name server. The Internet does not directly interpret the alphanumeric Internet addresses, such as CybeRiot.com, without an IP address. The name server translates the numeric IP address into the alphabetical address that we all understand as a typical domain name.

  To find out the name server  for a domain name, do a who-is look up at Internic. Your-name.com is not the same thing as a name server, it is a Virtual Domain, hosted on a name server. (You don't NEED to enable a virtual name server to resell.)

•  What is an Internet Protocol (IP) ?
  An IP is an Internet address, used to deliver mail and other "packets" of data from computer to computer. Every IP address consists of a series of numbers, separated by periods, or dots as they are sometimes called. That is why when you view the IP Address window, you will see a series of IP addresses and their corresponding numbers. Example: 000.000.000.000 (Each 000 represents a number between 0-255). 

  Each IP number is actually an internet domain address, or Universal Resource Locator URL. For ease of use, these long series of numbers are converted to domain names, such as "CyberRiot.net". This name system is referred to as the Domain Name System (DNS) and was developed by Sun Microsystems in the early 1980’s. It is now the common addressing system of the Internet. The 32 bit IP numeric address is converted into a recognized domain name, rather than a series of randomly assigned numbers, making the Internet fun and easy to use. IP Addresses are also used with Name Servers. Internic maintains a database of name servers and corresponding IP addresses. 

•  How do I register my Domain Name to point to the new IP?
  Name Servers are requested when registering domain names. If you registered your Domain  through our order page, it is registered on our name servers with sign up. If you have an existing Domain Name and would like to transfer it to your new account, check the help pages in your control panel. There you will find all the necessary information.

  To make the change, go to Networksolutions.com and click on make changes. Follow the steps to change your name server information. We'll supply you with our name server information. (DNS)

  You will end with an email confirmation which they send to you to verify change and authorize switch. They do this 'double verify' for security. This ensures no domain will be switched without the OWNER consent. 
  

  With a Virtual Domain, you utilize our server's storage space, however you are still professionally represented via your own personal Internet web address domain name (www.your-name.com) and by your own personal e-mail address domain name.

Search Engine: 

You get a free tool to register with many search engines easily. 

We offer free advise on how to achieve top rankings to our clients. I can show you how to really get the number one spot in less than a week. 

Security: 

Our servers are very secure. All of our servers come equipped with a firewall, and our entire network is secured through a circuit level firewall, providing one more level of security for mission-critical data. 

To ensure the integrity of your web site, we proactively monitor system processes on each server as well as across our entire network. These monitoring programs are designed to halt and report all intrusions to the system.

Set-Up: 

The set-up refers to installing your domain on our servers and making it available to the web. We set-up directories for you to 'PUT' your html pages and graphics. You can upload to your-domain.com.

Uploading Files: 

An online file manager lets you browse your computer for files then simply click and the file is copied to your domain server.

You can upload files with an FTP program which opens your file system on your computer and your server files (your domain) online. 

Then you can move files to your server by selecting and clicking. FTP transfers files rapidly by breaking them down to binary, then sending and reassembling at the other end. You won't even know it's happening. 

There are many FTP programs available. We recommend WS_FTP www.ipswitch.com or CuteFTP www.cuteftp.com Both have free trial download.

•  MySQL Administrator for Windows
  The program allows a number of server connections to be set up and displayed in a tree view. Each server connection can be configured with a required host, login username and password and port address, as well as being given a friendly free format display name. These server connections can be added, removed and edited, and are automatically saved to the system registry upon program exit. All stored passwords are encrypted with Blowfish, and this should be quite good enough in the majority of cases. If you are running on Windows NT, the combined security of Blowfish, NTFS rights and registry rights should be more than enough - stronger than the chances of cleartext passwords on a LAN/WAN being intercepted.  You can distribute this through your office or on your LAN. There is no support with this version at the moment. We will maintain an ongoing members knowledgebase on it.
• What is a Java Servlet?
  The Java Servlet provides our clients with a very powerful system tool. Java Servlets provide web developers with a simple, consistent mechanism for extending the functionality of a web server and for accessing existing business systems. Servlets are protocol and platform-independent server-side components, written in Java, that dynamically extend Java-enabled servers, without the performance limitations of CGI programs. They have access to the entire family of Java APIs, including the JDBCTM API to access enterprise databases. Servlets can also access a library of HTTP-specific calls and receive all the benefits of the mature Java language, including portability, performance and reusability.
•  The ServletManager  
  is used to install or remove support for Java Servlets. Our clients have long had the capability of running Java servlets, so Java Servlets are nothing new on our servers. Previously Control Panel users were unable to install Java Servlet support for themselves; either clients or a technical support analyst had to manually install a servlet zone, in response to requests from a Control Panel user.
• Our servers do not support JSP (JAVA server pages). Currently we are running jserv1.0b5 with JservSSI support.
• Some basic questions about running Real Audio/Video files on our servers.
  
  (1) You do not have the RealServer software running on your servers. Will we be able to stream RealMedia files?
  
  Yes, you will be able to stream RealMedia files. You will need to create a .ram file that calls your real audio/video file. The .ram file is a text file with an absolute URL. This URL will need to be:
  
  http://full.domain.name/directory/filename.rm
  
  (2) Is there a difference between streaming using the PNM-protocol and the HTTP-protocol?
  
  If you visit http://www.real.com/, you might come across a term called "pseudo-streaming". According to audiohost.com:
  
  "Pseudo-streaming" is a discriminating name for HTTP-stream. It was invented by the RealAudio promotion to suggest that you need to use the RealAudio server if you want to get "real" streaming. Here's a free translation: "Streaming RealAudio files without using RealAudio server software". That's all there is to it! The RealAudio server actually has some special features that cannot be achieved (in RealAudio) without it. Regarding "streaming" we cannot find a difference between the two protocols.
  
  (3) What are some of the special features of the RealServer?
  
  With the Real Server, you are able to take advantage of "bandwidth negotiation". This feature takes into account the bandwidth of the surfer's Internet connection when clicking on the hyperlink that requests the RealMedia file. Depending on the connection, the RealServer will provide a different version of the RealMedia file that best suits the visitor's bandwidth connection.
  You also need the RealServer to broadcast live on the Internet.
  
  (4) How do I get around not having "bandwidth negotiation"?
  
  While encoding, if you set the target audience to 28 K modem, you will be able to reach the largest audience possible. If you want your higher bandwidth connection visitors to receive better quality recordings, you can always create a second link to a RealMedia file that is encoded with a target audience of a higher bandwidth connection.
