Uploading files to webserver
Now in previous disscussion I
explained 4 methods to design
a website. Actually we can
divide them in 2 major
methods -
1. Making website using wizard
2. Making website yourself.
Now if you have make your
website through the wizard
then this page is not for
you.Why ? because the
webservers who provide you
wizard also host your website
their selves. You can move to
the next page by clicking here.
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
on webservers. First let me list
some webserver who give 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/
(really good)
4. http://geocities.yahoo.com/
5. http://www.absolutely-free-

now what you have to do
make an account and you will
have a limited space to upload
your files. After signing in to
the account , open the "File
Manager" in your account.
here you will see that you have
option to upload delete
modify files. and also you have
option to create and delete
directories. well a directory is
an other name of "folder".
Folder and directories are the
same words in computer
language. What you have to do
here that upload all the files in
the same manner as u have
placed them in your hard disk.
I give you an example. for
example you have placed
image files in a directory/
folder named "Images", now
create a folder "Images" on
your webserver account and
upload the image files after
opening that folder in the
webserver. And similarly in the
root/parent directory place
the index file.
Keep in mind that when you
prepare a website index file
should be in the first directory.
first directory is the easy
translation of root or parent
directory. For example you
crearted a folder "webProject"
and place all the files and
folders under this folder that
the webProject can be called
the root directory of your
website. but keep in mind that
when u start uploading files
dont create "webProject"
folder on the webserver. but
upload all the files and folders
in the folder of webProject.
