I just signed up with Site5's shared hosting plan yesterday and they haven't contacted me yet. Anyone know how long it usually takes? I'd like to get my site up as soon as possible. Glad to finally get rid of *****.

Usually a 24hr turn around if not less. But you caught them while they're updgrading a system and transferring quite a few customers over to a new server. Give it a little more time.

Ok, I got my account activated, but I'm a little stumped. The technical contact for my domain was ***** and I don't know how to update that info. It's handled by Network Solutions and their online forms are confusing.

I've been in that situation before with NS.

If NS has given you your account name, there's a login feature there to go in and change your info. If you don't have this info, you have to call them during business hours and ask them for your account name and password.

My domain has been registered for awhile now. I just need to know the steps to change that info.

You can make changes via the following URL:
http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/makechanges/

Simply enter your domain name into the account management helper and click GO.

In the first pulldown box, select "Transfer my domain name to another ISP"

Then, in the technical contact field, delete the old contact to either "same as administrative contact" or create a new technical contact. If Site5 gave you their contact number, you can also input this in the tech contact box.

Then, just submit the form and reply to the email it generates.

Good luck!

I was using the "Modify a Host" form. Guess that's why it didn't seem right. :rolleyes: .
