who own more than one domain name. However, if you need to host
each domain with its own separate features, we suggest you take
a look at our reseller
packages.

and entering your account login and password.
|
|
|
|
I
changed my control panel password and now I can't login.
|
|
Your
account name and password are both case-sensitive (for example,
if your password is "abc123" and you type it in as
"ABC123", it will not work). Make sure that you type
in your password correctly and that your whole account name is
in lowercase.
|
|

Can
I run a message board on my account?
|
|
Yes.
We support both Perl/CGI and PHP message boards. However, there
are some older message boards that use flat files instead of a
database (such as MysQL) to store all data which in its turn
causes high server loads and is a lot slower. Therefore, we only
allow message boards that use database.

Which
message boards do you recommend?
|
|
vBulletin
and phpBB
are two fully featured message boards we highly recommend.
|

|
|
Will
you install a message board for me?
|
|
Yes.
Simply send an email to support@switchfusion.com.sg with your
domain name and FTP login and password. If you would like us to
install your vBulletin board, please include your vBulletin
customer number and password as well.

account »

Second time install and up »

Upgrades »

I have access to SSH?

or payee.
