How to Upload a web site

When you have finished designing your web page then it is already to upload your web pages to your server.

Firstly, your have to rename your home page to index.htm (it is actually much easier if you name it at the begining of your work at the first time, but if you haven't done so, do it now) so that when people browse your web site by only typing your domain name, they can get your home page immediately. If you do rename the home page now, make sure you change all the links leading to the index.htm file.

Also, check all other links, and make sure that they all lead to a correct page. If one of them is spelt incorrectly, your visitors mightn't be able to access a page.

Upload web site:

1)Type ftp://yourdomainname.netsky.biz instead of http://yourdomainname.netsky.biz in the Microsoft Internet Explorer.

2)When a login window appears, input your user name and passwords then submit. If logining is successful, the window will display all files and folders of the root directory on your server otherwise you are asked to re-submit you use name and password.

3) To upload you files or folders you need to be upload, you hightlight the files or folders on your computer then click on the copy on the menu. After that, go to the window displaying the server's files and folders and click on the paste on the menu. It will start to upload the files from your computer to your server.

4) The next job is to check your web site to see it work properly or not. At this stage, most of errors come from incorrect link. For example, a link points to a directory of your computer rather than the directory on your server. Your root directory in your server always start from / but it may incorrectly start from D://directory/to/homepage.htm in your computer. As a result, you need to remove D://directory/to in the file of your server to let it work. A file like /index.htm or /index.html should exist in your root directory. The index.htm or index.html is your home page which then points to the rest of your web site.

TIP: Use a folder on your computer to your web site files and all it's images. When you have finished with a certain page, delete all it's drafts. When uploading (copying your web files and folders onto the Web), only copy the changed pages and images, and delete unneeded pages and images in your web regularly. This would not only save time and space on your computer, it would also save the data transaction. If you exceed your limit of 200MB upload data transaction, you will have to pay an extra $20 per 100MB.
