Technical Support Questions
What
are your Domain Name Servers (DNS)?
Once
you're a Gogiro Web Hosting customer, you can login into
your existing domain account to manage your domain name
servers. These should be changed to our DNS servers;
Primary
DNS Server:
Secondary DNS Server: |
ns1.gogiro.net
ns2.gogiro.net |
|
Why
do my domains outgoing mail server settings not work?
In some cases,
customers
may not be able to use the outgoing SMTP mail servers (mail.yourdomain.com)
that are provided to them with their hosting account. Some
Internet Service Provider's (ISP's) block all outgoing email
if you aren't using their own SMTP servers. If this happens
to you, you will have to use your ISP's outgoing mail servers
for all of your email accounts. If you do not know your
ISP's smtp server, please contact them directly.
How do I access my Webmail?
For Gogiro website customers to use webmail to check your email, simply add /webmail after your website address. Ex. www.yourwebsite.com/webmail
How
do I login to my Website Control Panel?
You
can either visit your Regional Office home page and login using the top toolbar, or simply add /cpanel after your website address. Ex. www.yourwebsite.com/cpanel
