Pre-Sales Questions

How do I decide which package I need?
We offer a range of packages to cater to your budget and technical requirements. If you have full-fledged technical requirements, consider VPS II or VPS III. From more entry level VPS functions, select VPS I. If you have other hosting needs, or just want help deciding what to choose, give us a call. Give us a call 9AM-9PM EST M-F at 1-866-HOSTED1. That's 1-866-467-8331.

What if I don't need a Virtual Private Server?
Some of you need full control over all internet and website activities, while others want a simpler environment for setting up website and related communications. Consider www.freeservers.com options, where you can create dynamic CGI based functionality or anything else to get going quickly.

What kind of hosting facility do you have?

Do you support PHP and MySQL?

Do you allow MP3 sites?
Yes, we allow all legal MP3 sites. See our User Agreement for details.

Do you support Microsoft FrontPage extensions?
All GlobalServers packages support FrontPage extensions, which can be enabled in your control panel. To login to your control panel, click here.

What is the path to my home directory?
When you login, you will be placed in your home directory.

How do I access my control panel?
Click on the account login link from the GS home page, then enter your user name and password.

How do I setup my mail accounts?
Simply follow the steps outlined in your control panel

How do I SSH/Telnet to my account?
In order to SSH/Telnet to your account, you will need terminal software that supports SSH. Good options include, TeraTerm , Secure Shell, PuTTY and SecureCRT. We don’t recommend that you Telnet to your site, as Telnet is insecure and your password may be compromised.

You’ll then connect to the IP address or host name of the domain that was provided to you when you signed up for your VPS package.

If your DNS is not set up yet, then use the IP address that was provided when you signed up. Once your DNS is working, you can connect to any host name that is served by your VPS. (ex: yoursite.com).

How do I change the name servers for my domain name?
Unless you registered your domain name with us, you need to contact the registrar your originally registered your domain name with. Just contact GlobalServers technical support, and we’ll walk you through the process

What name servers should I use for my domain hosted on GlobalServers.com?
NS1.globalservers.com and NS2.globalserver.com.

How do I FTP my files to my server?
First, you need to have an FTP client. You’ll then need to connect to the IP address or host name of the domain that was provided to you when you signed up for your VPS package.

If your DNS is not set up yet, then use the IP address that was provided when you signed up. Once your DNS is working, you can connect to any host name that is served by your VPS. (ex: yoursite.com).
