FAQ
Changing The Administative Username/Password
The Situation:
"I need to have my administrative user name and password changed. Can that be
done?"
Suggested Action:
Users' administrative logins and passwords are both generated by our technical staff
initally, unless specified at the time of your original order. The original
administrative user name is hard-coded for internal tracking purposes. Because of this, it
cannot be changed. However, an additional administrator's account can be created for users
who require a more "friendly" account name. This service does require a one-time
setup fee. The password may be changed, however a per incident setup fee may be
imposed for this based on your frequency of the request.
To file a request for a new administrative account or password change, please contact us.
Password Protecting Web Directories
The Situation:
"One or more directories on my web site need to be password-protected. How do I
accomplish this?"
Suggested Action:
There are three primary options users can choose from to protect their web content.
Create an NTFS Account (using User Manager for Domains)
Our technical support staff can create a Windows NT user account and restict the
permissions on one or more folders so that only the designated user will be granted
access. This solution works well for a couple of users, but for larger numbers of
subscribers, our support team recommends the use of AuthentiX-ISP. More detailed
information regarding AuthentiX can be found at http://www.flicks.com.
Authentication via AuthentiX-ISP
AuthentiX allows multiple users to be stored within a single user database for your
website. This is separate from Windows NT's user database as well as other website's
AuthentiX databases. Access can then be given access permissions on one or more restricted
folders by users or groups. For more information about this product, please consult the
Flicks website.
ASP, Cold Fusion, Etc.
ASP (Active Server Pages) and other scripting languages can be used to create web-based
security applications that permit or deny access based on passwords or other programmatic
criteria. Users with Cold Fusion installed on their web site can write similar
applications in that language. For more information about implementing such a system,
consult one of the many ASP resources on the web, such as http://www.activeserverpages.com or http://www.asphole.com.
Domains - Registration & Transfer
The Problem:
I need to know the IP addresses for your DNS servers so I can do my own Network Solutions transfer
or registration.
The Solution:
This is the DNS information:
ns.unitspeed.com
216.97.64.75
ns2.unitspeed.com
216.97.66.75
