If you prefer to use your own web design program or hire a web designer (instead of using our built-in SiteBuilder program) to build a web site, then you don't have to wait for Propagation. You can immediately upload your web site files to our servers using your own FTP application as long as you know your Temporary URL, and then view the web site on a browser using the same Temporary URL. After Propagation, you no longer need to use the Temporary URL and instead use your domain name for both FTP and browser.
The Temporary URL will always be in the form of, yourdomainnamecom.siteprotect.net. For example, the temporary URL for websitetest.com would be websitetestcom.siteprotect.net The exception is for very long domain names whose temporary URL may be truncated.
Note that the temporary URL includes the extension of your domain name, whether that be ".com", ".net", ".org", etc, without the "dot" before the extension.

If you use SiteControl's Web-based FTP tool instead of your own FTP application, then you need not know the Temporary URL as it will automatically log in. (Log in to SiteControl, select FTP in the Quick Access Tools section, and click Launch FTP.) |
