File Transfer Protocol - FTP

the process of uploading files to the server

bulletYour Home Directory: either "yourdomain-www" or "www"
LOAD ALL FILES INTO THIS DIRECTORY

Different software loads files differently.
We suggest that you try uploading one file
named index.html. When you type in your
domain name .com and you see this new
index.html page, then you will know that
you have loaded the files in the right directory.

First try to ftp or http to
useyourdomainnamez.com

(replace above with your domain name)

If that doesn't work, try the following path:

/
or
/home/username/domain-www

bulletYour Home Page:  "index.html"
Whatever you load as index.html
will be the page that anyone who types in
the following addresses will go to:
useyourdomainnamez.com
useyourdomainnamez.com/index.html
http://www.useyourdomainezs.com


bulletSome ISP's such as AOL & CompuServe offer an FTP interface.
If your ISP does not offer an interface, you will need to get an FTP program.
BEST WEB HOST , Inc. recommends WS_FTP Pro
It is the easiest way to upload
your web pages and graphics!!!
...except
if you are using Front Page.


If you are using FrontPage: to publish files, you must use "publish" in Front Page Explorer.

NEVER use regular FTP to publish your FrontPage webs  because it will damage the Front Page extensions.See below for specific Front Page info

bulletHost Name/Address:  " useyourdomainnamezs.com"
(replace above with your domain name)

bulletUser ID: user name

bullet

Password:  password

Here is some specific Front Page info

First..go to your control panel and add front page extensions to your site.

http://useyourdomainezs.com/menu
(replace above with your domain name)

We suggest that you try uploading one file named
index.html

1. Make a web page, one page called
index.html

2. When I go to publish my page and it asks me to please specify location to
which you want to publish your FrontPage web. I enter:

http://BestWebHost.com
(The above URL is only an example-
be sure to replace your domain name with when you publish the site)

3. It asks for FTP server name.
use
useyourdomainnamez.com
or
yourIPaddress

4. It asks for Directory path.
use nothing
If that doesn't work, try the following path:
/
or
/home/username/domain-www

5. It asks for my name
use your user name

password
your password

6. Front Page says it loads the pages..
don't necessarily believe a word it says.
It may or may not have loaded 

7. I check useyourdomainnamezs.com on my web browser (internet explorer) and it says
that my page is under construction.

(replace above with your domain name)

That means that you either didn't publish anything or you published it to
the wrong place or you didn't name your home page index.html

Please verify that all of this is correct.

If you still don't see the pages that you uploaded,
You probably need to refresh your browser, dump the cache and dump the
Internet temp files in your computer and maybe even restart your computer.

If you still don't see the pages that you uploaded,e-mail us and we will
gladly look at your site

Have Fun

We register the domain name for you
in your company name or your name.
(many of our competitors register domain names
in their own name so that you are unable to switch
web hosts or update your e-mail address
and they actually have the rights to the domain name instead of you)
we feel that your domain name
should be registered to you - not to us

We can save you $20.01 per year
compared with Network Solutions.
We also renew Domain names for only $14.99 per year.
