There
are many ways to upload your web pages to our
servers: FTP programs, the File Manager in your
account Control Panel, and integrated upload
utilities in programs like Frontpage and Dreamweaver.
Which ever way you choose
to connect to your account, you will need the following
pieces of information from your Welcome email to
get started:
Your User Name........(case sensitive)
Your Password..........(case sensitive)
Your Address............. yourdomain.com or your IP address
Your IP address is the numerical
address assigned to your account. For the first
few days, until your domain name is registered
or transferred, this will be the only way you can
connect.

When you upload your site to our
servers, you will want to make sure that your main
page is named index.html, as this file is what
gets loaded when people come to your site. Other
default pages are actually useable (index.htm,
default.htm, index.phtml, etc.), but the default "Under
Construction" page that comes with every new
account is named index.html, and will not be replaced
unless it is specifically deleted or overwritten
by your own index.html.
IMPORTANT: index.html takes precedence
over index.htm. If you upload your site, and
your main page is named index.htm, the "Under
Construction" page will still be loaded.
If your main page is named index.htm, delete
the index.html.
As soon as a file is uploaded
to our servers, it is available for all to see.
If, after uploading a file, you are still unable
to see the updated file via your browser, try
hitting the "Refresh" or "Reload" button.
Some browsers, especially Netscape, have caches
that are not cleared out easily. You may need
to manually empty your browser cache to see a
new or updated page on your site.
