FAQ Content:
When you have a web site which is already up and running with another provider, follow the procedure below:
Submit the domain via email to support@giosas.com
We will set up the site on our server and allocate a temporary IP address.
We will send you an email with the IP address and procedure to upload with FTP.
Upload your files according to this procedure.
Check and make sure everything is working fine. At this stage you can access your site by typing the IP address only.
Modify the DNS information so that your domain starts pointing towards our "Name Server". It takes about 24 to 48 hours for this information to be propagated over the Internet. During this time, when someone types your domain name in their browser, he/she will see your site either on the previous server or on our server. At the end of this propagation period, your site will be available only from our server. At this point, you may notify your previous provider to delete the site from their server.
