Yes no problem, i have one question, i know you get a free domain name of your choice, but how do i find the info on my web space and do i have a free madsafish email service?
Also i already have my own domain names, can i point these to my account?
Thanks in advance0 -
Hi Deefadog,
After you sign up, you can claim your domain name through My Account. To log into My Account, please go to our homepage and you'll see it as a menu item on the top red menu bar. Once in the secure My Account area click on the Internet Tab and you'll see it there. If your existing domain name ends in .co.uk, me.uk or .org.uk we can host this for you as the domain name that comes with your account. You'll need to get the tags on your domain name switched to Madasafish. When they have, simply contact care@madasafish.com and say something along the lines of:
"I have changed the tags on my domain name to Madasafish, could you please associate it with my account, username: X"
You get free webspace with us and here is a link to the general FTP information.
You also get free email with us - you can use the Webmail facility on our homepage and you can set up your Madasafish email in conjunction with Outlook Express or Apple Mail.
I get asked this a lot - here are the general POP3 settings:
Incoming (POP3) mail server: mail.madasafish.com
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: mail.madasafish.com
Please do keep posting should you have any further queries.
Kind regards,

Hi Samara, I am going to be moving out of my house soon. My housemate wants to keep the broadband connection. Is it possible to transfer the account to her name? I thought her name was used at sign up but it appears her name is only the logon username and it is my name which is used for the account details!0

I am testing my webpage, experimenting with the "Web Page Hit Counters" facility, excuse my novice approach, but I have a few queries:
The Maaf "Web Page Hit Counters" help file suggests:
st means start, that is start the counter with this value. st is only significant if you compiled the program with -DALLOW_FILE_CREATION. If you compiled with this option, the datafile will be created to the directory defined by DataDir in the config.h file and 5 will be written to it. This option is new in this release.
I am a novice in HTML, but using WS_FTP95 LE I log in to my http://www.users.madasafish.com/~username/Test directory and have a test "index.htm"
which includes the line
<img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?ft=9|frgb=69;139;50|tr=0|trgb=0;0;0|wxh=15;20|md=6|dd=A|st=1|sh=1|df=~username.dat"
with ~username edited accordingly.
1. This works correctly for my /Test/index.htm page, and increments, But how is possible to reset a page hit count to zero for the page or any given webpage?
It appears there is to only one "Hit Counter" for my site and it increments whether I place the index in my top level / directory or my /Test/ directory and will increment each time whichever file is addressed!!
Can other users confirm this?
2. Is it indeed possible to have a unique "Hit Counter" for any given page?
3. Can I reset the "Hit Counter" to zero at any desired time?
3. How do I find my "DataDir" and "config.h" or use the "-DALLOW_FILE_CREATION" to reset any page hit for any given web page?
4. Where is the "df=data file" containing the counter number which is referenced as described in the help: ~username.dat?
Any experienced Madasafish users out there that can help with my queries
Regards in advance.....Mike0 -
