Web Hosting Basics
Connecting Your Domain to Valor Node
To use your own domain with our hosting, update your domain’s nameservers to point to Valor Node. Typically, these are:
- ns1.valornode.net
- ns2.valornode.net
Changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate worldwide.
Using DirectAdmin Control Panel
Our hosting accounts include DirectAdmin, a control panel for managing your website, email, and other features.
To log in:
- Go to
https://yourdomain.com:2222(replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain) - Enter your DirectAdmin username and password (provided in your welcome email)
Uploading Files
You can upload your website files via:
- DirectAdmin File Manager – a browser-based file uploader
- FTP – using an FTP client like FileZilla. Your FTP credentials are in your welcome email.
Setting Up Email Accounts
Create and manage email addresses for your domain via DirectAdmin’s “Email Accounts” section.
Troubleshooting Common Errors
- 403 Forbidden: Permissions issue – check your file permissions or .htaccess file.
- 404 Not Found: File missing or wrong URL – verify your files and links.
- 500 Internal Server Error: Server error – often caused by script errors or configuration issues.
