Secondary Name Server Hostname: gemini.f-c-t.com
Secondary Name Server Address: 216.127.72.179

into godaddy(Nameserver 1,2,3,4) I get:

Invalid domain name extension: 216.127.72.69
Invalid domain name extension: 216.127.72.179

Am I doing something wrong? 😕

M0oG0oGaiPan is correct.
I signed up for package #2 last night, then went to GoDaddy to switch my DNS.
I entered aries.f-c-t.com and gemini.f-c-t.com and everything was fine.

I received the confirmation from Manlius this morning that my account was setup.
I went to my site to see if anything showed up and Manlius has a placeholder page up for my site.
So, everything is working well as of now. 😀

Now if we can keep this one up longer than Cyberwings, we'll be good to go!! 😛

Just got my setup email.... Im rebuilding the new site now ;D
 
Dammit! I just realized I misspelled my domain name when I signed up! 😱 Time to see if their CS is worth a damn...filling out a helpdesk ticket. 🙂
 
Got my setup email. I'll upload my files on Sunday and test it out.

Great deal, thanks dieselstation.
 
i registered with this host for the smallest package for a club at my school, it was up and ready in 20min, i literally signed up ate dinner, returned and account was ready i was uploading my docs to the ftp, hehe, same time registered with godaddy for the domain, that got activated in like 20min also, but its gonna take a day for the ns servers to get appended, i will post the site once its up, host is great btw highly recommended.
 
My experience.
I got the 500mb deal.
I got this and a domain as a gift for a friend.
www.jonahbaby.com

Didn't decide on domain yet at the time so i sent an email
asking to hold off on setting it up since i would need to change it.
Got reply about it, no probs. Told me to email them when i had the domain name.

Acct was set up in my name, email..so i sent another email for
support to change SiteAdmin, email etc, to my friend. It was done
within the afternoon.

So far, experience has been real nice...cool beans.
 
Their website no longer works. I signed up for #3 on Friday. My site works, but theirs no longer does. Here today, gone tomorrow? Can anybody else get to their site, or any of the links they sent in your confirmation e-mail?

Speed
 
their site seems to randomly work for me... but mine works fine.

i got in on plan #3 and so far i am EXTREMELY happy with them. This deal is so flaming, it makes Richard Simmons look hetero ;p

oooookay,
i need another deal like this. maybe 500 - 1000 megs?
and the $10 a month sounded lovely.

this sounds expired, but are there any others out there?
 
hey, i have a question...

can you sign up for web hosting (like this one) without owning a domain name yet?
i have plans to buy my domain name, but just haven't gotten around to it yet....but if another great deal
comes along before i purchase it, i want to be sure i can jump on it even if i don't own a domain yet.

oh yeah, and where is a good place to buy my domain from? all the same prices?

thanks in advance!
 
A domain name is required before you can purchase a plan. I know this because I asked the guy in charge this same question on aim before I got on special #1. A lot of people here recommend www.godaddy.com or www.namecheap.com. They are pretty much the same price $9 a year. I think namecheap provides email forwarding and godaddy does not, but you could always just use http://zoneedit.com/ for email forwarding.

signed up for the $10/yr...sweet. bought my domain at namecheap.com. Their email forwarding was excellent before I switched to this host.

by the way: i cant use smtp for some reason. can someone help me with this? pop / webmail is fine.

 
thanks all,
i think i am going with www.namecheap.com
can't complain with $8.88 a year.
if you register your domain name through them, do YOU get to own the domain name, or do they (namecheap)?
my brother just asked me that, and as a domain buying newbie, i had no idea....anyone know?

now all i need is manlius to have another deal/sale, and i'll be set.
rumor has it that they are supposed to have another one soon. we'll see.

everyone on manlius doing okay?

(and allisolm, i messaged ya...thanks again for the tips!)
 
My site is doing fine. It is my first site and still under construction. I want to add a links page and a photo album. Is there any free code that I could use to get a photo album up and running quickly? Suggestions?

my site www.tailboom.com

I am a total webpage development newbie and Manlius.com has been great. I have been using AIM to talk to the support people and the forms.manlius.com is starting to get a lot of useful information posted. So far no complaints.
