How do I upload my web pages to my server space?
Uploading HTML pages, that you've created with whatever HTML editing software you've chosen, to your web space is done via File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Once you are ready to copy your site onto the Internet, you can upload it using your choice of FTP programs. We recommend using either the built-in FTP of your website creation software or Cute FTP when uploading your web pages, but any other FTP program may be used if you prefer. Your site can be uploaded to our servers immediately after receiving your Welcome E-mail, which will contain the necessary information to set up your FTP program correctly.
In your welcome e-mail you will find the information necessary to upload your files to your web space via FTP.
Your welcome e-mail will look something like this...

Once you are ready to copy your site onto the Internet, you can upload it using your choice of FTP program. We recommend using either the built-in FTP of your website creation software or Cute FTP when uploading your web pages, but any other FTP program may be used if you prefer. Your site can be uploaded to our servers immediately after receiving your Welcome E-mail, which will contain the necessary information to set up your FTP program correctly.
When you first connect to your account by FTP you will see a folder listing similar to the following:
mail
public_ftp
public_html
tmp
www
Your web page files should be uploaded to the public_html folder, so be sure to move down into this folder (by double clicking it in most FTP programs) before uploading your web pages. You will need to replace the index.html file already in this folder with your own version of this file which should contain the home page for your site. You can, of course, also upload web pages to subfolders if you wish (any subfolders to be used for web pages should be created under the public_html folder [ i.e. www.yoursite.com/photos/ would equal public_html/photos/ ]).
When using your FTP program, please do not delete any other preinstalled files or folders. Many of these files are essential for the smooth running of your account. Deleting or renaming them may cause corruption which can only be corrected by completely resetting your account.
