Uploading and FTP
Q. What can I use to upload my web site to your server?
A. You can use any FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software available.
Some FTP programs have built-in html editors such as "Microsoft FrontPage", "dreamweaver", etc.
The most common programs are "WS-FTP", "Cute FTP" and "Crystal FTP". The latter is totally free.
You can visit Web Attack. This site is a good resource of free programs.
Q. I used the IP address you sent me and got another person's web site?
A. Unless your account has a static IP, the IP address we sent you is a "shared IP address" that allows you to login to our server and
upload your web site so you'll have no downtime before you make DNS changes from network solutions
or whoever you registered your web address through.
This shared IP address is only used for loading your site to our server.
You can not use it to view your site from the browser.
Q. I uploaded my site and I see it under www.mydomain.com/~myname, not under www.mydomain.com. What am I doing wrong?
A. You uploaded your files under /users/yourname/web.
Make sure to upload your files under /web.
If you are using wsftp, here is the process.
After loging on to the server, and on the right pane, you will find a button
called "ChgDir".
Click on it, then write down "/web". Then press "ok". You will find yourself
in /web. 
Q. I uploaded my files under /web and still can not see my web page. What am I doing wrong?
A. Make sure to name your first file index.html. If you name it index.htm,
make sure to delete the file index.html.
Q. I renamed my first file as you said, now I can see my first page. But all my links are not working and my images are not appearing. What's wrong now?
A. File names are case sensitive. Some FTP clients have a setting to make
all uploaded files to be upper case. Just make sure your file names are the same
case as your links and images used in your tags.
