Hello Philip, I am pleased to inform you that your WebFaction account is ready ! You will find below all the informations about your account. ***** SERVER INFORMATION ***** * Ip address of the machine: 174.121.79.186 * Url of your site: http://www.beatsportable.com * You can also use: http://keripo.webfactional.com if you haven't registered the domain name yet or if it's not pointing to this machine yet * OS of the machine: Linux CentOS5 * Access via SSH and sftp (sftp is recommended over FTP since it is more secure) * Login/Password: keripo/21b40025 ***** HARDWARE INFORMATION ***** * The server is a Dual Xeon 2.4 Ghz with 4 GB RAM * It is located in the ThePlanet datacenter in Texas * The datacenter features redundant UPS systems, generator backup, VESDA detection systems, closed circuit monitoring of all areas and entrances, 24 hour guard manned security, redundant a/c systems, and fiber from 5 separate providers. * We keep the number of sites per servers very low. The actual number of sites depends on what resources the sites use but we never "push our servers to the limit". ***** WORDPRESS INFORMATION ***** WordPress 3.0.1 is installed in the ~/webapps/wp/ directory. WordPress is served by a shared Apache web server instance. A MySQL database has been created and WordPress is configured for use with the database. This installer creates a user "admin" with a randomly generated password. The password is stored in the "extra_info" field after the installer has finished. The password is also the password for the MySQL database. Note: Any subsequent changes to the admin password will not be reflected in the control panel's "extra info" field. Note: WebFaction web servers are not mail servers; PHP's mail() function will not work as expected. Please see http://docs.webfaction.com/software/wordpress.html#sending-email-from-wordpress for instructions on sending mail with this application. WordPress documentation is available at: http://docs.webfaction.com/software/wordpress.html ***** DATABASE INFORMATION ***** * Databases can be created through the control panel ***** E-MAIL INFORMATION ***** * E-mails can be configured through the control panel ***** DNS INFORMATION ***** * Your domain(s) get added to our DNS servers in case you want to use them. * Our DNS servers are: ns1|2|3|4.webfaction.com * You can also use "keripo.webfactional.com" if you haven't registered any domain name yet or if it's not pointing to this machine yet ***** OTHER SERVER INFORMATION ***** * In case you need to use them, here are the informations about our other servers: * POP server: mail.webfaction.com (port 110 for normal access, 995 for SSL access) * IMAP server: mail.webfaction.com (port 143 for normal access, 993 for SSL access) * SMTP server: smtp.webfaction.com (port 25 for normal access, 465 for SSL access).
