If you can't see your website

Make sure you're not having problems seeing other web sites as well. If you are, chances are your Internet provider is having problems. Even if you can see other sites, make sure you use traceroute to pinpoint any possible network problems between your computer and Korax. Also make sure that your domain name hasn't expired, and that your web hosting service is still active. complete help

If you can't transfer files using FTP

If you are in an office environment, or if you are behind a firewall or some other special network configuration, turn on "passive mode" in your FTP software to allow transfers to go through. complete help

If you can't send or receive e-mail

If you are having problems sending e-mail, check to see which outgoing (SMTP) mail server you have configured in your e-mail software.

If using your ISP's outgoing mail server, contact them for assistance. If you are using Korax' mail server as your outgoing mail server, make sure you entered mail.example.com in the outgoing mail server setting of your software, replacing example.com with your domain name. You must also make sure that you have selected the option in your software to use SMTP authentication, and that you have changed the outgoing (SMTP) port to 587.

If you are having problems receiving e-mail, first ensure that you have created all necessary e-mail accounts using AMS Control Panel. Make sure you entered mail.example.com in the incoming mail server setting of your software, replacing example.com with your domain name, and that you are using the correct incoming mail user name and password.
