  1. What are my raw log files? How do I read them?
    When you connect to the server, there will either be a file with a .log extension either in the root directory or contained in a directory called w3svc... . This file holds information about the performance of your site. In order to read it, you need a program that will interpret the information. If you are using a higher account, a program called Statistics 5.0 is included. This program will produce a detailed list of information about your web site. 

  2. When I type www.mydomain.xxx into my browser my site does not come up? But when I put in the IP address, it works. Why?
    When we registered or transferred your domain name with InterNic, the process is not complete on the same day. It usually takes 2 to 3 business days for your domain name to propagate throughout all DNS servers, including ours.

  3. When I type my domain name or IP address in my browser I get a 1.0 403 Access Forbidden error message. Why?
    This means that the server can not find your default.htm or index.htm file. Make sure you have uploaded that file.

  4. Can I make files available for download by visitors to my site?
    Yes. This is called anonymous FTP. If you wish to have this option, fill out a
    Tech Support form with your request.
    This option will allow people to download files you may have for download. The easiest way is to create a link to your own FTP directory. For example, if the file was test.exe, then the link should be something like ftp://mydomain.xxx/my alias/test.exe

  5. How do I set up files to be placed on Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)?
    You need to create a folder in your root directory called "Secure". Place the files in that folder. Go to the technical support request form located at
    http://www.Caribe-Web .net/support and submit your request to our technical department. They will enter your directory and place the folder on the SSL

  6. What happens when my account goes over the storage or transfer limits?
    You will be responsible for all overages with your account. The fees for storage over the limits is $5.00 per 25 MB. The fees for transfer over the limit is $ 1.00 per MB. If you feel you are going to go over your limits, please contact your original sales agent and discuss upgrading to a higher plan.

Pop E-Mail Account

POP stands for "post office protocol." It is simply an e-mail address @yourdomain.xxx. Caribe-Web 's mail servers store mail that is sent to one of your accounts @yourdomain.xxx until you check your mail.

[BACK TO TOP ][BACK Email FAQ's]


Mail Accounts

These 2 accounts are set up by default when we establish your mail account. These accounts do not count toward your plan limit. The "root" account is not an e-mail account and should not be used. The "username," account is needed for you to access the mail set up to change, add, or delete mail accounts. Please do not use this account as an e-mail address or delete it.

Mail Forwarding

The mail forwarding option lets users re-direct any e-mail sent to their POP account, automatically. You can forward your mail to any address, but to make it simple, 99% of users forward mail to their dial up account. To set up this option, create a new user and scroll to bottom of the page. There is a field titled "forwarding address." Put the address here and click save. Click here for more information.

Eudora to get my mail

It is easy to set up your browser or mail program to get your mail. Simply change your POP server setting, and account information to the following:

  1. POP server: mail.yourdomain.xxx

  2. SMTP server: should stay the same as your dial up account

  3. Account: POP account your checking for mail

  4. Password: password you gave that account when you set it up. Save these settings and send yourself a message.

See email set up information.

E-mail Alias

An e-mail alias is not an e-mail account. It is simply an additional user that is set up to perform the same function as a regular e-mail address. For example, you can set up an alias for your account info@yourdomain.com. Let's say it was info2. If anyone sent an e-mail to info2@yourdomain.com, it would end up at info@yourdomain.com even though info2 is not a real e-mail address. To set up an alias, log into the mail administration, choose user administration, then click add alias. You will see a prompt asking for the alias, which in this example would be info2. Then enter the correct mail account info that alias is pointing to and click save. See email set up information.

Mail Address

By default, the software enters the mail account in this format. You can erase the mail. part of the address if you wish. You will still get the mail whether it is there or not.

Mail box size

You need to keep those at zero because by default they mean unlimited. If you choose to alter the mailbox size, remember it is in bytes not kilobytes.

The Recipient

In order for your forms to send mail correctly using formmail.pl, the e-mail recipient MUST be an e-mail located under your domain. Those results can not be forwarded to any other e-mail address. You must retrieve those results using a mail client directly from the mail server.

[BACK TO TOP ][BACK Email FAQ's]


Administration Page

In this case, it is usually due to the domain name you have. If it is a transfer of your domain, the propagation may not have taken place via the InterNic. If it was a new domain, the same would apply. If you have the mail IP address, type that into your browser followed by :8181, it should work.

Send Mail

Yes. We do not allow sending of mail through our mail servers. We do have some limitations to it to protect our clients from Spam and bulk e-mail. Just one customer who spams on a particular mail server can adversely affect hundreds of other clients mail service. Always set your SMTP server to that of your dial up account.

Add Mail Accounts

How do I add more mail accounts? If you have used your Plan limit of e-mail accounts, you do have the option to add more e-mail accounts at any time. The cost for doing so is $ 6.00 per account per month( block of five accounts). Contact your sales agent to expedite this request.

Add Autoresponder

To install an autoresponder you will need to log into your mail administration as the user you want to add the autoresponder to i.e. webmaster@yourdomain.xxx.

Scroll down towards the bottom of that page, you will see a link called "Change Vacation Message", Click on that link.

The page that loads will have a box where you can add your message text.

After you enter your message, click on the save button, this will add the autoresponder into the system.

After mail has been sent to your mail address 2 links will appear under the "Change Vacation Message" Link, they are "View Vacation Message Recipients" and "Clear Vacation Message Recipients", the first link will show who has received your autoresponder and the second will allow you to delete the recipients.  See email set up information.
