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-hosting.c...e_hosts_01.php
6. http://www.freeservers.com/

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.
