2. How do I register my domain name?
You will need to register your domain
name with a registrar. We recommend http://www.godaddy.com
or http://www.networksolutions.com.
Once you have found and registered your domain name, when asked, you should
enter the following for DNS (or name servers):
DNS3.ONEMADGUY.COM
DNS4.ONEMADGUY.COM
Please be aware it can
take 48 - 72 hours for the changes to take affect and for you to be able to
begin uploading your site.

How do I upload files to my site?
The following can only be done if you
have already changed your domain name's DNS settings
(see question 2), and it is pointing to ONEMADGUY.com. After you make
this change, it typically takes 48-72 hours to take affect. If you've just made
the change and would like to upload your web pages, you can follow the steps
below but substitute ftp.onemadguy.com for
ftp.yourdomain.com.
To copy your files up, you can use any
FTP application or Internet Explorer. Just type ftp.yourdomain.com
(for example ftp.onemadguy.com).
When you are prompted for your user name
and password, use your domain name as the username and your password (see
question 4.)
The first page of your website (the
default page) must be named default.asp.
