"Problem FTP'ing to new account"

I'm having trouble getting FTP to connect to a new account I created earlier today.

I have a domain registered with you - mind-war.co.uk - which I can connect to just fine by setting my FTP client to connect to www.mind-war.co.uk - no problem there.

But I've set up another account for a website I'm doing for someone else, and can't connect. At the moment there's no domain associated with it, so I'm trying to get my FTP client to connect to the Freeola1000 address - www.wookieemonster.freeola.com - and all I get is the error:

~ Connecting...
! Socket Error: no DNS entry
~ Could not login to www.wookieemonster.freeola.com


I am also unable to get any connection to the e-mail servers for this account.

Is this simply because the new account taking time to propagate around your servers, or is there a problem elsewhere?

Many thanks for any help you can offer.

And now, without me having changed anything at all, I can suddenly get into the account I created last Saturday.

Only took a week - not bad!

I'll put it down to the server problems SR have been having! ;-)

Seems they've changed the font from Arial to Verdana - so I've had to update the name in my registration.

Sorted!

No, not sorted yet.

And I don't quite know what's up with my name... must be SR's dodgy new servers! ;-)

So, sorted yet Wookiee??

(and what happened to your o's?)

Pop!

Well, thanks for the input guys. I'll have to see what SR say on Monday.

it sounds like the problem i had before- if it is the same then it's just not set up yet - it just takes a little while for the addy to be set up by the system (or something like that!)

Yup!

Are you dialed up to Freeola?

I would agree is an Freeola Thing, so guess you'll have to wait till monday for Andrew to reply, or give Freeola Support a call: 0870 728 9977 and ask them.
