First let me explain what ftp settings are.  When you set up hosting with Godaddy, you created a username and a password. 

This login information is different from your normal Godaddy Admin Login.

It is only for the hosting (i.e. your website).

If you forgot this information, then we can show you how to obtain it again.

Follow these steps:

1. Login to your godaddy account.
2. Once in, look on the leftside margin under MY PRODUCTS.
3. Click on HOSTING. If you don’t see any white links directly under MY PRODUCTS, then click on MY PRODUCTS and white links should show up.
4. Once you click on HOSTING, the next page will load.

The FTP username and password are located in 2 different locations.

5. click directly on your domain name that we are needing the ftp settings for. You’ll notice on the rightside margin your username will appear. Besure to write it down.  Your Hosting IP address is also listed there.  You may need that too, so write it down also.
6. Once you have that, then look back to the middle of the page again where your domain name is.
7. Look about 2 inches to the right of your domain name itself and click on the link that says MANAGE ACCOUNT.
8. Once this next page loads, click on the tab up near the top that says STATISTICS.
9. Once you click on STATISTICS a new pages load that says something about having the password emailed to you. Click on that link to get your ftp password emailed to you.

That is all you need. If you also were told you needed your Hosting IP address, then go when you were on step 5 above looking for your username the IP address was listed just below your username.

No worries!  All you have to do is re-purchase the correct spelling of your domain name and then call Godaddy and let them know.

They usually will refund your money if you notify them within the first 5 days of buying the domain.

This happens a lot.  Login to your account here if you need to re-purchase the correct spelling.

Every domain that exists has a Authorization Code or EPP Code.

If you are transferring a domain away from Godaddy, here are instructions on where to get it.

1. Login to your account.
2. Once in, look on the leftside margin under MY PRODUCTS.
3. Click on “Domain Manager” – do not click on “My Domains”.
4. When you see a list of all your domains, click directly on the domain you are transferring away.

When the next screen loads, look on the leftside margin just below the little icons.

About the 5th or 6th sentence below the icons will say EMAIL AUTHORIZATION CODE.

If you click that, it will be sent to the Administrative Email address currently assigned to the domain.

Be sure to unlock the domain too so the domain can be moved.

How do I Transfer a Domain To Godaddy

* If you find this tutorial helpful, please Digg us, Reddit us, Stumbleupon us or Twitter about us on the top right corner of this page. It helps others learn about us.

This is an easy one, but might require you to make a to the other Registrar where the domain currently is.

Just because you bought a domain at another registrar like for example Network Solutions, Register.com or 1and1 does not mean you have to keep it there.

You can transfer your domains to Godaddy as long as you have NOT recently done 1 of the following items.

1. Registered your domain name within the last 60 days

2. Recently updated the Whois information or Registrant information for the domain. If you did, you may have locked it again for another 60 days without realizing it.

If you haven’t done any of the following above, then you can transfer your domain to Godaddy.

To prepare for transferring your domain, you need to do the following first.

1. Goto the Registrar where the domain currently is and UNLOCK IT so it can be moved.

2. Have the other company email you the AUTHORIZATION CODE (aka EPP Code).

If the email address associated with that domain is old, you won’t be able to receive the Authorization Code.   Then follow this next step EXACTLY so you don’t lock the domain at the other registrar for another 60 days.

–> ONLY change the “Administrative Email Address”  itself.  DO NOT change the contact information, person’s name, phone number, address or anything else about any of the REGISTRANT, BILLING, TECHNICAL, ADMINISTRATIVE categories.  Only the 1 field of the “administrative email address”!!!  So you are only changing 1 single field of information.  You can change the rest once the domain is in your godaddy account.

Once you update only the email address for the administrative contact, wait a little while for the whois to update and then have the registrar re-email you the authorization code.

Now you are ready to start moving!

1. Login to your godaddy account and order the domain transfer. It only costs approx $7.00, but that also includes an additional year registration.

2. Once you order the transfer, you will receive 2 codes via email from godaddy (a transaction id and a security code).  You will need these in a moment.

So now you should have the following ready:

unlocked the domain, received the authorization code, the transaction id & security codes.

Now you need to enter these codes in your godaddy account.

1. Login to your godaddy account.
2. Once in, look on the leftside margin under MY PRODUCTS.
3. Click on “Domain Manager”  – do not click on my domains.
4. Once all your domains load, hold your mouse over the DOMAINS tab to the upper left of all your domain names.
5. Select the sub option for DOMAIN TRANSFERS
6. Then checkmark the domain you are transferring and look on the far right for the black button that says something like AUTHORIZE TRANSFER. It’s near the righthand margin. Hold your mouse over it and click start transfer.
7. Enter in the Security Code, Transaction ID and Authorization Code (aka EPP Code).

Once these are entered, wait about 1 minute and refresh the page.

If you see 2 green checkmarks light up for steps 1 and 2, then you are done. There is nothing else for you to do but wait.

It can take up to 5-7 days for the other Registrar to transfer the domain over. There is no way to speed it up.

This process is called a “change of account” and there is no cost to do it.

How it basically works is you move the domain from your account to another account, but before the domain fully moves into the other account the owner of the other account will need to accept the change manually from within their domain manager section.

Let me show you how to do this.

1. Login to your account.
2. Once in, look on the leftside margin under MY PRODUCTS.
3. Click on “Domain Manager”  – do not click on my domains.
4. When you see a list of all your domains, checkmark the box to the left of the name.
5. Now we need to unlock it first so it can be moved. So while the domain is checkmarked, now look up on the little icons directly above the list of domains. Click on the icon that looks like a padlock.
6. When the popup window loads, uncheckmark the little box that says LOCK.
7. Click OK
8. Wait about 15 seconds and don’t click anywhere. Keep the domain checkmarked like you initially did.
9. Now on the icon bar at the top, look to the right of the Padlock and click on the ICON that says CHANGE ACCOUNT.

Another popup will now load.

10. Enter in either the other person’s customer number for their godaddy account or the username they initially setup.
11. Type in the email address associated with their account. It has to be the one tied to their account. If you don’t know it, call them.
12. Click the box that says something like “use the same settings as the receiving acct”.

This will change the ownership information for the domain to the new owner.

That’s it. Your done! But wait, now you need to have the other person accept the domain in their account. Call them and provide them the link to this page so they can follow the directions below for ACCEPTING THE CHANGE OF ACCOUNT.

To Accept – Do This Below.

1. Login to your account.
2. Once in, look on the leftside margin under MY PRODUCTS.
3. Click on “Domain Manager” – do not click on my domains.
4. Once you see all your domains with little checkmark boxes to the left of each one, look up to the left above the domains and hold your mouse over the DOMAINS TAB. When the sub menu loads, click on the option for PENDING ACCOUNT CHANGES.
5. When you see the domain there, checkmark it and click on the QUICK ACCEPT icon just above it.

That’s it. Just give it about 5 minutes to load into your domain manager section.

Follow these simple steps:

1. Login to your Godaddy account.
2. Once in, look on the leftside margin under MY PRODUCTS.

5. When the next page load look in the middle of the screen (lower below the header) for TOTAL DNS.
6. Click on the blue link that says TOTAL DNS CONTROL
7. When the next page loads, under the “A HOST”, look to the far right of that line and you will see an icon of a piece of paper & pencil.
8. Click on the icon of the piece of paper & pencil.
9. When the popup loads, delete the other IP address and then type the IP Address to the one you need. Don’t change anything else!!!

For example your IP address should look something like: 174.22.98.101

When you are done typing in your IP, click “OK”.

Then click on the DOMAINS tab on the top left corner to take you back to the previous screen.

That’s it. Now you just need to give it about 24 hours to up.

Setting Up Your IMAP or POP Email Address in Microsoft Outlook 2007

This tutorial shows you how to set up Microsoft Outlook® 2007 to work with your IMAP or POP email account. You can set up previous versions of Microsoft Outlook using the settings in this tutorial.

Start Microsoft Outlook 2007. When the Startup Wizard displays, click Next.

NOTE: If the Startup Wizard doesn’t automatically display, from the Tools menu, select Account Settings, and then click New. In the Add New E-mail Account dialog box, select Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP, then click Next.

On the Account Configuration page, select Yes to indicate you want to configure an email account, and then click Next.

On the Auto Account Setup page, enter the following:

Your Name

The name to display on your email.

E-mail Address

Your email address.

Password

Your email account password.

Retype Password

Verify your password.

At the bottom of the page, select Manually configure server settings or additional server types, and then click Next.

On the Choose E-mail Service page, select Internet E-mail, and then click Next.

On the Internet E-mail Settings page, enter your email account information as follows:

Your Name

Your first and last name.

E-mail Address

Your email address.

Account Type

IMAP – IMAP

POP – POP3

Incoming mail server

IMAP – imap.secureserver.net

POP – pop.secureserver.net

Outgoing mail server (SMTP)

(Optional) This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)

Select to enable.

Click OK.

Click Test Account Settings. Outlook will send itself a message to test your incoming and outgoing capabilities. Once this is complete, click Next.

Click Finish.

Another main issue that a lot of people make the mistake on is that your username in first few steps needs to be your “email address”. The full email address. Many people think they just need to put only the first page of their godaddy email address. This is untrue.

If you are still stuck, then call Godaddy at the number on their homepage. You can click on the link below to load up their website.

Bookmark our site for future access.

One thing to note is that if you just created your email at Godaddy, it can take a full hour to setup on their end. Here are the instructions for getting your Godaddy email to work with your Outlook Express 2003.

1) In Microsoft Outlook Express, select Tools, and then click Accounts.

2) On the Internet Accounts window, click the Mail tab, and then click Add.

3) On the Internet Connect Wizard window, in the Display name field, enter the name to be be displayed on your email, and then click Next.

4) In the E-mail address field, enter your email address, and then click Next.

5) On the E-mail Server Names window, from the My incoming mail server is a list, select either IMAP or POP3.

12 Click the Advanced tab.

Outgoing Server Settings

Port

Without SSL – One of the following: 80, 25,  3535

With SSL – 465

(Optional) This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)

Select to enable.

Personal Recommendation: Don’t use SSL!

Incoming Server Settings

Port

IMAP without SSL – 143

IMAP with SSL – 993

POP without SSL – 110

For POP with SSL – 995

(Optional) This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)

Select to enable.

Select to enable.

Personal Recommendation: Don’t use SSL!

13 Click OK.

Troubleshooting notes: Usually if when you test your email and you can receive but not send, then usually it is the outgoing port. I would recommend first trying 80. Then test it. If problems, then try setting it to 25. Then test it again. If that doesn’t work either try 3535.

Another main issue that a lot of people make the mistake on is that your username in first few steps needs to be your “email address”. The full email address. Many people think they just need to put only the first page of their godaddy email address. This is untrue.

I know. I know. “But I have never built a website before.”

No problem.

Go Daddy offers a product called Website Tonight.  Website Tonight is a website template builder program. You can see information about it at Godaddy.

Just hold your mouse over SITE BUILDERS off their homepage.

It comes with hundreds of templates to choose from. So all you have to do is buy a domain name or if you have one already then just order Website Tonight.

Once you set it up, choose a template. Then just start adding your own text and upload your own images.

You can modify your template at any time, plus you don’t have to choose a template in the category that fits your business class.

If you see a template in ANIMALS, but your business is going to be about REAL ESTATE. You can still use the ANIMAL template, but just swap out the images with photos of houses or real estate signs.

Using a templated program is the first step in understanding how websites are created and it is easy.  That’s how I started.

Plus it includes hosting. So you don’t have to buy hosting.

I would recommend the 10 page plan because it gives you room to be able to have 10 pages. You don’t have to use them all now. You can add pages easily as you need them.

We have put together a short video on how to build a website using Godaddy’s Website Tonight.

As always, if you like our site please Stumbleupon us, Reddit us, Digg us or Twitter about us using the links to the top right of this page. It helps others learn about us.

Are you hosting your website somewhere else and the other company told you that you need to update your nameservers so that your website will be able to go live at the other hosting company?  Or are your hosting with Godaddy, but the parked page is showing up and your site is not active.  This section will tell you what to do.

Changing your Godaddy name servers is easy.

We have put a video tutorial below to show you how, but for those of you who want to read about it see below (and the video is lower too).

Follow these steps to change your nameservers.

1. Login to your godaddy account
2. On the left hand margin once you login, under the section MY PRODUCTS, click on DOMAIN MANAGER.
3. When all your domains load up, checkmark the domain you need to change the nameservers on.
4. You’ll notice that once you checkmarked the domain all the little icons at the top lite up.
5. Click on “nameservers”.
6. You will then need to select CUSTOM NAMESERVER.

This is where you type in the nameservers for the other hosting company. They should have already provided you with what nameservers you need to enter.

Keep in mind that Godaddy is the #1 hosting company. They offer multiple hosting plans to choose from.  If you are hosting with Godaddy, then you have to change the nameservers from PARKED to —> HOSTING NAMESERVERS.

My favorite is either the Deluxe or Unlimited plan.  The reason is because you can host multiple sites under one hosting plan. These other sites are called “alias domains”. I will add a tutorial on doing this soon. Or you can search the HOSTING category to your right to see if it is already done.  The other benefit of hosting with godaddy is that all your domains and hosting is in one simple easy to manage location. You can’t beat that! To see their plans and rates, goto their homepage and on the green button at the top, click on “hosting”.
