Re: Website builders need help
whitey, go to godaddy's site and login.
click on my account
click on hosting and email
web hosting database from the dropdown menu
that will bring you to the host manager.
now on the left side click content.
that will bring down another dropdown menu.
from there click on ftp client and you should be all set to upload your files onto the site.
you should be able to figure out where to go from there.

Thanks. But I'm not using godaddy for hosting. I think I got this figured out but they said:
"In the FTP Host field, enter your domain name without the www prefix. For example:
sampledomain.com
If it has been less than 72 hours since you set up your account, you may need to use your temporary URL instead of your domain name."
I think this is whats ------- with me becuase it says cannot connect or some ----
Also WTF is Propagation?

Propogation is for your domain name to ------ out to all of the DNS servers. That way when someone types in whiteysex.com or whatever, their ISP will know where to send them.
I'd recommend you just ditch your godaddy service and go with a service called 1and1.com
Their hosting is badass and their prices are the best i've ever seen.
Using their service you can upload everything via their file manager or FTP.

"An FTP error occured. cannot mmake connection to host. Dreamweaver could not connect becuase the server is down or not accepting connections"
So is this my fault and something I can fix or is it that the payment hasn't gone through yet or some ----?

Looks like a decent service even though there website is ------- terrible. You basically need to make an FTP account for yourself and log into it. If they use cpanel, then you can go to whitesex.com/cpanel/ and from there you can create an FTP account.
To get into your FTP account, you can just open IE and type in ftp.whiteysex.com and login. Or they might give you a different FTP address, but you really have to see. If you want to use a more professional tool, there is lots of software for managing FTP connections. I use WinSCP because its extremely secure.
