With my current host I log in to my ftp by typeing in the address ftp.mydomain.com then my user and pass. Some hosting companies use their own ftp addresses for the particular server the website is on. I like having it ftp.mydomain.com..........so Id like to just have a list of reliable hosts that offer this. (reliable = good service, well known, not new, fair price)

Thanks

I'm fairly certain those who provide an IP or an alternative domain initially, only do so in order to let you upload prior to the domain name resolving to their servers. You should be able to change it once that happens.

Once your DNS has switched over, your should be able to login on ftp.yourdomain.com

Try it. You will be surprised that perhaps it may just works :D

No, once the DNS has resolved he should be able to use his domain.

(just felt like making sure we *really* got the message across ;))

Hi,

Once you have change the DNS and it has propagated, you will be able to use ftp.yourdomain.com.

addvalue, I think that was already settled 3 times :rolleyes: Seems people still tend to read only the first post and not check that there was a solution already ;)

Check, re-check, and then check again!

most of people just read the first post.

good luck to find a solution :)

alrighty, guess every host will let me log in at ftp.mydomain.com

Yes... including your current host :) No reason why they can't/won't.

most american hosts let u log in ftp.yourdomain.com , but in uk, most of hosts prefer ftp.hostcompany.com/yourdomain .

figured out why I am hearing 2 different things. Some hosts have 2 systems they use. One of which being something like ftp01.hostingcompany.com, the other being ftp.yourdomain.com. Thanks for the replies on this post.
