DOMAIN EVALUATION
If you are interested in moving your domain
to the new service, Cruzio will first evaluate your site
and let you know about any potential issues. Some sites might
be better off staying on the Classic servers.
CHANGES
Because your domain is moving to a different
Domain Name Service (DNS) server, Cruzio lets every computer
on the Internet know how to find your site's new home. To
do this, we change your domain's DNS and point it to our
new servers. We�ll make sure that your site experiences no
downtime during the transition, but once it�s over, you may
have to reboot your computer and/or router to force it to
take you to the new server.
LOGGING IN TO YOUR CRUZIO CONTROL
PANEL
To log in to your new control panel, just
visit www.cruzio.com and click �MY ACCOUNT� at the top of
the window, or visit the shortcut http://login.cruzio.com.
The old convention of www.yourdomain.com/admin is no longer
in effect. Note�during the transition, you won�t be able
to login via this method.
WEBMAIL
Your Webmail will use a new and improved
program called Horde. It's just as easy to use as the original
Webmail, and it has lots of helpful features, including better
calendar support, client-side filter rules, and the ability
to check email addresses hosted elsewhere, like Gmail or
AOL. And those are just a few! To access your Webmail, visit
www.cruzio.com and click on �MY EMAIL� at the top of the
window, type in your domain name and click �Go,� or use the
shortcut http://webmail.yourdomain.com. Type in your email
name and password and click �Log in.�
USING OUTLOOK EXPRESS, THUNDERBIRD,
OR OTHER EMAIL PROGRAM
Only one change needs to be made in your
email program. 1. Find and open the account settings or preferences
in your email program and locate the �User Name� field. 2.
Change the current user name to be your full email address.
For example, if your email address were postmaster@billsbigboats.com,
the user name would say postmaster. You would want to change
it to postmaster@billsbigboats.com. That's it!
JUNK MAIL FILTERING
All of the previous tools for dealing with
junk mail are still present, but they’ve been seriously
improved. The “Help” tool built into the “Manage
Spam Filtering” goes into more detail than this document
will, but here are some quick tips: Spam Filtering is automatically
enabled for all email addresses, but messages that are marked
as junk are not automatically moved to a filtered mailbox;
instead, the subject line is changed to start with the text
***SPAM***.
To prevent these messages from showing up
in your inbox, create a simple rule in your email program
that moves these messages directly to its junk mail folder.
We have a detailed support document that will walk you through
setting this rule step-by-step for both Windows and Macintosh.
The process only takes a couple of minutes.
Macintosh: http://cruzio.com/support/docs/domain_spam_filter_mac.html
Windows: http://cruzio.com/support/docs/domain_spam_filter_win.html
See the help pages for junk mail filtering
in your Cruzio Control Panel for more options.
SSL CERTIFICATES
Previously, a shared SSL certificate was
provided. Now, you can buy and install your own secure certificate
from a number of vendors. Visit the “Certificates” section
of your new Control Panel to learn more.
SMALL CHANGES
- Web Reports – greatly improved, keeps stats indefinitely;
however, you can no longer receive analyses by email.
- Anonymous FTP – the upload directory is now known
as “Incoming”, and there is no longer a “hidden” directory.
- Directory Index disabled – by default, if a directory
does not contain an index file, the contents of the directory
will not be displayed. If you absolutely need this feature,
you can enable it by adding this line to the .htaccess
file in that directory (you may need to create the .htaccess
file):
