PaulAmanda 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 I just got admitted to start a website under this domain.One problem. I have no idea where to start. Where do I log in? Do I make the site offline? and if I do, where do I upload it?Basically I need a the basic starter kit. I have looked for a FAQ but I can't find it anywhere on here or on the main site. Yeah I need help I know I *BLEEP* but I have never really used this system and I am quite new at making sites. Any help would be much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For FAQ you can go to Alerts and Notices , some instructions on how getting domain and how mycents system is working are there you can find them and read. but if you want your host here then you can try to read a full cpanel 11 manual (Goolge it!) for knowing how you can upload files or other things. and remember you don't need to have a domain you can use a sobdomain Xisto provides with its hosting services, so feel free to ask any other question and good luck.
