Set up your server

You already purchased a server — now you need to set it up, which includes the administrative stuff like your username and password.

To Set Up Your Virtual Private Server (VPS)

  1. Log in to your IFindHost – CheapDomainRegistration.com account.
  2. Click Servers.
  3. Next to the account you want to use, click Manage.
  4. Review the End User License Agreement, and then click Accept.
  5. Complete the following fields:
    • Enter Server Name — The server name (also known as your account name) helps you identify this account on your account list.
    • Select Operating System — Choose the operating system you want to run on the server.
    • Set Overage Protection — Bandwidth Overage Protection shields you from costly bandwidth overage fees by automatically suspending your account when its allotted bandwidth is exceeded. Your suspended account is reinstated at the start of your next billing cycle or when additional bandwidth is purchased.
    • Enter User Name — The user name created here is the name you use to log in to your server. On Linux® servers, you cannot log in to your server as “root”. If you need root access, see Switching to the Root User on Your Linux Server.
    • Enter New Password — Use this password when you access your server using the User Name or when using root access.
    • Confirm New Password — Confirm your password.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. Confirm your settings and then click Submit.

If you purchased FTP Backups with your server, complete the FTP Backup Login Information fields:

  • FTP User Name — The user name used to access your FTP Backup account from your server
  • FTP Password — Use this password when you access your FTP Backup account from your server using the FTP User Name
  • Confirm FTP Password — Confirm your password

Once you click Submit, your virtual private server should be ready to use in approximately 5 hours. We’ll email you once it is ready.

Sending Faxes from Mobile Devices Using Fax Thru Email

You can send a fax from your mobile device by logging in to the email account that you use with Fax Thru Email on your mobile device. The “From” email address in your mobile mail must be the same as the email address in your Fax Thru Email account.

To Send a Fax from Your Mobile Device Using Fax Thru Email

    1. From your mobile device, log in to the email account that you use with Fax Thru Email.
    2. Compose a new email message.
    3. In the To field, type faxout@faxthruemail.com.
    4. In the Subject field, enter the recipient’s fax number (for example: 480-123-4567).
    5. If your Fax Thru Email account requires a password, in the Subjectfield, after the recipient’s fax number, enter a space and your password.
    6. Add the documents you want to send in the fax as a file attachment to the email message. Do not enter any information in the body of the email message. Fax Thru Email removes all information in the body of your email message.
    7. Send the email message.

 Note: The “From” email address must match the “Account Email Address.” Fax Thru Email checks that these two addresses match when validating the outgoing fax. If you enabled the Remote Faxing Password feature, the system checks to ensure the password in the subject line of the email message is accurate and valid.
