Problems with Hosting, FTP, Frontpage…the works. Help! Awardspace.com/GoDaddy.com?
I have made a website before on Frontpage and uploaded it to Yahoo Geocities using the File Manager they have. It was simple and easy… However, I have since bought my own domain and am in the process of creating another website using FrontPage. I used GoDaddy.com to register and purchase my domain, and since they didn’t offer free webhosting I was advised to go with a free host like Awardspace.com, which I did. Last night I tried to upload my pages a number of ways, but I must be doing something wrong because NOTHING is working. I uploaded a page to the file manager there and linked my awardspace account with my domain name… but it’s not showing up. I also tried FTP between FrontPage and awardspace, but FP is asking for things that awardspace didn’t supply me with… like (ftp://_________) and directory name, etc. Awardspace also has a program that accepts FP extensions, but I couldn’t get that to work either. I know I’m skipping a step somewhere or doing something wrong, but what?
The ftp:// address is the FTP site you need to connect to to upload the files. Awardspace will supply you with this information.
Could it be something simple like you are not creating a base page called index or home or whatever it is that that particular host points at.
Have you tried an dedicated FTP client like WS FTP – there are plenty of free ones out there
