I recently set up a free account with a .coffeecup.com domain. I now wish to switch it to my own domain but cannot see any way of doing it. Also, having done a test upload of the the site from VSD it is now 'active' but I would like to make it inactive pending further development. Again, there seems to be no way to do this. Can anyone help?

You can find instructions on how to use your own domain name here at http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … h-s-drive/

There is no way to make a site "in active" once you publish it. You would have to delete it if you no longer want it online.

After setting up my on domain to point to cc site from my host's cpanel, I lost all access to that cpanel as I am now sent to my CC page on S-Drive and it tells me that file doesn't exist. So have I lost access to cpanel bt pointing my url to CC?

The process is actually very easy. Please see http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … rive-site/

There is no way to make a site inactive. You would have to actually delete it from your S-Drive account through FTP if you do not want it there.
