I'm caught in a dilemma. I designed a website for a salon and it's now ready to go. However, the salon had their own temporary site up while I was designing the new one. Meanwhile, they decided to pay a guy for Google search engine optimization on the temporary one. Now the domain name is on the other guy's server. I need to access it so I can replace the old website with the new one. How do I do this? I don't understand exactly how this works. 1.) Is there an FTP login and password specific to the hosting space on the other guy's server that I can use to access the files via FTP and replace the old files with the new files? If so, then I should ask him for that FTP and password? 2.) Or would that login and password give me access to his whole server (not just the salon website)? In which case he would not give this information to me. 3.) I understand that I can purchase hosting space on another server and then have the domain name routed to that server, but how do I access those properties of the domain name? This is all very confusing to me since I don't know enough about it. All I'm familiar with is purchasing a domain name and server space together and using an FTP to manage the files. I've never transferred a domain name to another server. Nor do I know where to go to access the domain name information. Could someone please explain to me what I need to do? Thanks. ...
Anytime
