To access you DIY Web Site Builder you need to log-in to your Web Hosting control panel, this is done by:

( eg. where “yourdomain name is your web site address)
 

If your domain name is not yet active you may also access the tool by going to your IP address as provided in your welcome email
( eg. 102.112.125.125/stats)
 

Enter your user name and password

1. Click on the link Titled “DIY Web Site Builder”

A new window will open. If it doesn’t, you will need to confirm that your web browser does not have pop-up windows disabled.

Once the new window opens all of you new site is being automatically constructed for you so it may take a few moments the first time – but within about 20 seconds you should see the Welcome Screen that looks like this:

There are several possible reasons why your DIY Web Builder won't start.

 

Option 1) A popup stopper is running on your machine

Option 2) Your internet security software is stopping a new window being spawned

Option 3) JavaScript is not enabled on your computer

 

Completing the following steps should enable the DIY builder to open successfully. Please feel free to contact us if you continue to experience difficulties.

 

For Option 1: Pop-up Windows blocked

1) Disable any pop-up window stopper software on your machine (such as Google toolbar etc) or, if the option is available, hold down the bypass key (normally Alt or Ctrl) when you click on the link that opens the DIY builder and keep it held down until the DIY builder has completely started.
 

2) If you are running Windows XP SP2 there is a popup stopper built into the Internet Explorer.   This can be disabled by clicking on Tools - Pop-up Blocker - Turn Off Pop-up Blocker in Internet Explorer.

 

For Option 2: Internet Security Settings

1) We have found that Norton Internet Security Suite can stop the DIY builder from opening and by choosing the option "Disable Internet Security" and accepting the system default of 5 minutes the DIY Builder will start smoothly.

 

For Option 3: Disabled java- script

1) If you are using Internet Explorer we recommend that you return all security settings to the installation defaults.   You can reset these by going to the Tools - Internet Options menu and completing the following instructions:
 

a) On the security tab select "Internet" (if not already selected) and click "Default Level"

b) On the Privacy tab move the slider to "Medium" if not already selected

c) On the Advanced tab click the "Restore Defaults" button

d) Close all browser windows and restart your browser
