Administrator Access
To access your hosting plan's settings, you must login to the control panel. To do this, go to:
https://mega.megabytesdedicated.com:19638/siteadmin
If you are prompted about an invalid security certificate, click continue. In Internet Explorer, the error looks like this:
Click “Continue to this website” to view the login page.
Enter your user name, password, and domain name. This information can be found in your welcome email. If you do not have this email, contact your Megabytes representative for a replacement.
Site Overview
Once logged in, the home page of the control panel will provide you with a site overview.
This page shows how many users, subdomains, and databases you have used, based on the your hosting plan. The disk space section shows how much of your disk space is used, and the graph below shows your bandwidth usage and limits, if applicable.
Creating Users (Email & FTP Access)
A “user” is an account that has an email account, and can be granted FTP access or even a sub-domain, depending on your hosting plan.
Click Mailboxes/Users in the left column.
Click the Add User tab to create a new user.
The user name will be the first portion of the email address, for example, if you domain is megabytes.ws, and you add the user john, the email address would be [email protected]. Enter the user's Full Name, and a password.
Each user also gets a disk quota, this is the total amount of disk space this user may use. Remember that this space is part of your hosting plan's disk quota. To grant the user FTP access, check the FTP box. If you wish to create a subdomain for this user, click the checkbox. When creating a subdomain, you must notify Megabytes so that the proper DNS entries can be made – your subdomain will not function until this is done.
Email Aliases
An email alias is a forwarding address. For example, [email protected] forwards mail to [email protected]. An alias can forward to an address within your domain or outside of it.
Click Aliases under the email subheading in the left column.
Click “Add An Alias” to create a new alias.
The Alias is the first part of the email address.
Select an account in the Forward To: box if you want to forward mail to an account within your domain.
To forward outside of your domain, type the full email address(es) in the third box, seperated by commas.
Click “Add Alias” to complete.
