Uploading Files To
Webserver
Actually we can divide them into two major methods;
1.
Making Website Using
Wizard.
2. Making Website Yourself.
Now if you have designed your website through the wizard then this
page is not for you,
Why? This is
because the webservers which provide you with wizards
designer also host your website themselves.
But if you have made your
pages your self using editor or html or by page templates then I would like to guide
you about uploading your website files on
webservers. First let me list some
webservers which gives free webspace to
its users to upload files:
1. http://www.free-webhosts.com
2. http://www.bravenet.com/webhosting/freehosting.php
3. http://www.50megs.com
4. http://geocities.yahoo.com
5. http://www.absolutely-free-hosting.c...e_hosts_01.php
6. http://www.freeservers.com
Now what you have to do
is to create an account in any of them and
you will
have a limited but enough space to upload
your files. After signing in to the account,
open the File
Manager in your
account. There you will see that you have
option to upload, delete and modify files and
also you have option to create and delete
directories. A directory is another name
for Folder.
Folder and directories are the same word in
computer language. What you have to do
here is to upload all the files in the same
manner as you have
placed them in your hard disk. For example
you have placed your image files in a directory/folder named Images, now create a folder Images on your webserver
account and upload the image files there.
And similarly in the root/parent directory place the index file. Keep in mind that when
you prepare a website, the index file should be in the first directory. First directory is the
easy translation of root or parent directory.
For example; assuming you created a
folder mainFolder and place all the files
and folders under this folder, mainFolder can be called the root
directory of your
website but keep in mind that when you
start uploading files,
don't create another mainFolder folder on the webserver. But upload all the files and folders in the
folder ofmainFolder.
Domain Name Of The Website
A domain name should be easy to remember
and descriptive, all the website which provide
free webspace also provide you domain
name. For example; assuming you created a
xtgem.com site and you dont like the xtgem
domain then you can choose a domain
name to
redirect. Some website provide
good domain names for free but dont give
any webspace. So
what you have to do is to upload your files
on different website and take domain name
from any free domain name provider and
signup for their account. Some Will Request
For IP and DNS
servers while
some will ask your previous website
address and provide
you a new address for your website, now
your files are stored on the same website
but your website has a new name now.
Here is a list of website
who provide free domain name.
