How to transfer your web site files to our server ?



Solution:

To transfer your web site files to our server, take these steps:


STEP 1:
Make sure that you have your web site files (HTML, GIF, JPEG, etc.) on your computer. If you are transferring from another web host, make sure that you have downloaded the most recent version of those files to your computer.


STEP 2:
Using either an FTP program (such as CuteFTP, WS_FTP, Fetch, etc.), or your web design program (Dreamweaver, FrontPage, etc.), upload your files to the /www directory of your domain on our server (you can upload using the domain name, user name and password syntax provided in your Welcome Letter). Make certain that your homepage is called index.html. There is more information on uploading your site files in the FTP section of the Knowledgebase, as well as in the FrontPage section.

STEP 3:
After you have uploaded your files, you can verify that the files are in the www directory by going into the "File Manager" button on your control panel and clicking on the www folder.

STEP 4:
Thats it! Your site is now online, and immediately accessible by your domain name.


If you registered your domain name through us, then you do not need to worry about the domain name registration; we will take care of it for you. Please allow 1-3 days from when you signed up for the domain name to complete propogating throughout the Internet, after which it should start displaying in browsers.

If you did not register your domain name through us, then you will need to make sure that you or the domain name owner points the domain name to our name servers.
