Q15. Can I have a free web site when my Company has a firewall?

A15. Yes, you can, however, you may need to ask your technical staff to make some changes. Domino uses port 1352 to replicate over TCP/IP, you can ask your support staff to allow port 1352 to be opened up for replication. If your Companies security policies are really tight, they may want to further restrict that. Give your support staff the host and domain name of the server you are assigned to and they may open the firewall just to that server.

A17. Yes, starting February 7, 2001, we enabled the ability to change the information that you supplied during registration.

You will not be able to change your name, the directory or the database name however.

Q18. I registered but I did not receive any information on how to setup my free site?

A18. In most cases this means that you did not give us a valid e-mail address. As part of the Terms of Service (TOS) you must supply a valid e-mail address, we use this address to send you your Id file and connection information. If you did not supply a valid e-mail address, simply re-register with a valid address and you will receive your information. Then send a message to: free.hosting@corefusion.com and tell us that you registered without a vaild address, we will then delete the bad registration.

If you supplied a valid address and still did not receive a message, simply reregister and then send a message to: free.hosting@corefusion.com and tell us that you did not receive a message, we will then delete the bad registration.

Q19. It appears that the site is unavailable most of the time (when I enter the URL in a browser, I get a "file does not exist" error).

A19. Check to make sure that the URL entered is entered correctly. The URL string is case sensitive so enter it exactly as it was supplied to you in the initial registration e-mail that was sent to you.

Q21. Can I send e-mail from my database?
