Welcome to the StartLogic Tech Talk e-Newsletter!
 
New, Exciting Features in vDeck! StartLogic has added new features to its vDeck customer control panel. These enhanced features allow you to manage your web site and domain name, while also providing setup instructions and helpful tutorial links for managing your hosting account.

The first new feature is the Domain Manager, which is located inside the "Domain Admin" section of your vDeck control panel. If your domain name is registered with StartLogic, you can now update your contact information for your domain name, lock and unlock your domain name and control the server assignment of your web site.

Another bonus feature is the "Startup Guide", which is also located inside your vDeck control panel. If you click on the "Startup Guide" it will list your mail client and FTP client setup information, along with links to helpful tutorials on how to setup your email and ftp accounts.

Last but not least, StartLogic has added information in vDeck on the landing page of your control panel that gives you access to our new customer forums. To visit our new forums, simply click on the link inside your control panel or type in http://forums.startlogic.com into your web browser.

StartLogic Tech Talk: DOs and DON'Ts

Don't Risk Losing Your Domain!

Your domain name is your identity. Whether you host a personal, family or business website, your domain name represents your site's purpose and content. You spend time carefully selecting your domain based on many criteria. What happens when you lose access to this identity? There are many ways to lose access to your domain name, and I respond to questions about this issue several times each week. Therefore, I thought it would be appropriate to address a few DOs and DON'Ts of domain registration...

  • DO keep your domain locked, unless you are updating contact information or DNS servers. This prevents thieves from potentially stealing your domain.
  • DO keep your administrative contact information updated. This is your registrar's primary means of reaching you for domain-related concerns, such as renewals and transfers.
  • DON'T wait until the last minute to transfer your domain. Registration transfers generally take 10 days to complete. Some registrars will not transfer a domain when it is less than 15 days from expiration. I suggest planning a transfer at least 30 days prior to expiration just to be safe.
  • DON'T let your domain expire. All services associated with a domain become inactive the second that domain expires. Avoid the hassles associated with regaining control of your domain by never letting this happen.
