I registered a domain name and purchased a webhosting plan from 8-95.com but how do I get started??

Anyone familiar with 8-95.com?

I used GoDaddy and 8-95.com

Total cost for me was $4.95/year for .US domain registration and $8.95/6 mo for web hosting.

login into godaddy and set the nameservers to point to the ones that were in the "All Set" email from 8-95.com

then goto http://www.yourdomain.com/admin (after propagation of course ~24-48 hrs) to login to the ensim control panel.

to ftp, use your favorite ftp client,
login: admin@yourdomain.us
pw: "your password"

consider installing fileman.

Good choice on web hosting provider.

First wait for your Dixiesys.com welcome e-mail which has the DNS primary and secondary name servers.

Next go to GoDaddy.com login update your DNS name servers to the ones listed in your welcome email.

Your domain should be online and propogated within 1-2 days.

Thanks everyone! Yes the All-Set email came a few minutes later.

I think I'm on track!
