Publishing Your Website Using FTP or FrontPage

To upload files, use any FTP ready client or FTP enabled publishing tool. Until your domain name becomes active you can use your IP address to connect to your account.
Upload your web files into the directory labeled "web". This is your web directory and any files that you wish to be seen via the web must be located in this directory.

The initial page of your site should be named "index.html" or "index.htm", this way when a user types in the url of your domain, they are immediately taken to the initial page of your site without any further input.

To access your personal CGI-BIN directory, click the "cgi-bin" folder located in the main directory.

Microsoft FrontPage

Our servers also support Microsoft FrontPage. To publish your website from FrontPage, publish to:

http://Your-Domain-Here.com

Once again, until your domain name is transferred you can use your IP address to publish your website.

Please Note

Before your site can be displayed, you must overwrite our default "under construction page".
