\t\t\tWhy is it called the network that “just works”?<\/p>\n
A\u00a0Nositeunseen network is built like a commercial mall housing a variety of\u00a0business activities. \u00a0Each website on the network would represent an office or store within that mall. \u00a0Like any mall the business operators, or website operators, lease their space in order to conduct their operations\u00a0and they come to work each day expecting that everything “just works”. \u00a0Lights come on when switches are flipped, doors open when pushed, trash is hauled and floors are swept and polished.<\/p>\n
The network “just works” because website operators come and use their sites without being concerned on security, updates, upgrades, maintenance, or any other aspect associated with upkeep – it “just works”.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tWhat belongs to me when I host on the network?<\/p>\n
All your content belongs to you. \u00a0Your images and videos, written content, custom code and styles. \u00a0Of course you also take responsibility for your content and ensure it isn’t in violation of another’s copyright or ownership.<\/p>\n
The network hosting is where you build and present your content, but when you remove it, it is removed from the network fully because it is your property.<\/p>\n
Note: if you contracted one of our support Associates to custom code or create content, they worked for you and that content is also your property.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tCan I export my theme to use elsewhere?<\/p>\n
Your theme is built on a unique framework that belongs to the network. \u00a0It is part of your “lease”, the same as the server space and system software. \u00a0The theme could not be exported as it would include network portions.<\/p>\n
However, all your custom code and styles can be saved and used elsewhere.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tWhat domain name do I receive when I sign up?<\/p>\n
Your account begins with a domain name based on the eCommunity you are hosting\u00a0in. \u00a0If your are hosting in the Barrie, Ontario location, for instance, that domain address is “barrie.nositeunseen.ca” so if you were to use “mysite” as your account name then your address would be:<\/p>\n
“barrie.nositeunseen.ca\/mysite\/”<\/p>\n
If your eCommunity is not yet available and you are in general hosting awaiting its activation your domain address would be from the general hosting location. \u00a0What remains consistent, however will be the TLD, or top level domain in general hosting and in the eCommunity you selected. \u00a0In this example the TLD is “nositeunseen.ca”.<\/p>\n
When you are migrated from general hosting to your eCommunity\u00a0we ensure proper forwarding of the first address is in place so you do not lose any search engine page rank you have built.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tDo I have to use the domain address of the network?<\/p>\n
You do need to have a domain address but you are not limited to the default we put in place. \u00a0In your admin area under Tools you will find the option to add your own domain as the primary domain. \u00a0You will also see the static IP address for your eCommunity. \u00a0Add that IP as an A record for your domain and your site will be found under that.<\/p>\n
If your default address is “barrie.nositeunseen.ca\/mysite\/” and you add\u00a0your domain name, mysite.com, then that new domain will become your primary address and how people will find you on the Internet. \u00a0And search engine friendly forwarding is in place automatically.<\/p>\n
If this process is a bit complicated setting up, remember that you’re part of the network. \u00a0Do not hesitate to ask a support Associate for assistance.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tWill you host my domain email?<\/p>\n
We don’t host the emails on our servers. \u00a0Generally, where you would have your own domain you will also have the means to set up email. \u00a0We recommend setting up with ZOHO email. \u00a0Their free account is typically sufficient for most small and mid size associations.<\/p>\n
And if you have no domain and are using the default you can set up free hotmail, live, gmail or other free email accounts.<\/p>\n
Be sure to ask in the forum or send a message to support if you run into any complications.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tWhat is an eCommunity?<\/p>\n
An eCommunity is the virtual equivalent of a town or city. \u00a0It is named according to the physical community it represents and contains websites of business and organizations from that community.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tWhat if an eCommunity I want to be hosted in doesn’t exist?<\/p>\n
Our hosting products include a “Reserve” form field where you can enter the location you wish to have your website included in. \u00a0Your website will be set up in the General hosting server. \u00a0When that community you reserved becomes active your website will be moved to that eCommunity – at no cost to you.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tWhen does an eCommunity become active?<\/p>\n
To set up an new eCommunity we require a minimum of five (5) websites hosting for that location. \u00a0This is due to the associated costs of setting up a new network on its own server. \u00a0The starting five websites pay for the new eCommunity to get started.<\/p>\n
When the fifth website hosting is purchased that new eCommunity begins the set up process almost immediately.<\/p>\n
\t\t\tWhat is the Visual Designer?<\/p>\n
The Visual Designer is an administrative component that allows you to open any page of\u00a0your website within the designer interface. \u00a0That interface is what wraps your website inside the design console and makes it editable.<\/p>\n
There are two main facets of the Visual Designer:<\/p>\n
\t\t\tI recognize the programs. Why are they used in the Visual Designer?<\/p>\n
We have researched and tested several\u00a0program options and the two we chose were the best for utility, support, and compatibility. \u00a0We have licensed both for our use and modified them to meet the specific needs of the network.<\/p>\n
The Visual Editor is the combined and modified programs Microthemer<\/a> by Themeover, and Beaver Builder<\/a> by FastLine Media LLC.<\/p>\n \t\t\tWhat are my support options for designing my website?<\/p>\n
