To obtain the correct parameters for your site, replace "YOURDOMAIN" with your domain name and "YOURLOGIN" with your login. Your login is the "base" of your domain name (up to the first ".").
For example: if you have a normal second-level domain name like flintstone.com, then you would replace "YOURDOMAIN" with "flintstone.com" and "YOURLOGIN" with "flintstone".
If you have a third-level domain name such as flintstone.hostings.com, then you would replace "YOURDOMAIN" with "flintstone.hostings.com" and "YOURLOGIN" with "flintstone".

Notes:
You can determine the name of your secure server here. Click here if you need details on using the secure server.
- The easiest way is with an FTP program such as WS_FTP Pro, which has an "MkDir" button.
- If you don't have FTP you can use a telnet program to connect to your site (e.g., Windows users can do Start -> Run -> telnet yourdomain.com), then run "mkdir www/store"
