Website builders need help
 

alright I finished my site, I built it with Macromedia Dreamweaver, all documents are HTML. I bought the domain name from godaddy and bought hosting from E-host. Now how the ---- do I upload my files to my site?

Re: Website builders need help
 

Since I have 4 websites, I'll be the first to admit. I don't know. ;D

Re: Website builders need help
 

Look for something called "Manage my site" or "File Manager" or something of the sort, and then upload it to there...

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?

The movement of a wave through a medium? How did they use it

edit:

Could mean "starting something"... I never understood why these companies don't use simple English :8

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 ----?

Re: Website builders need help
 

I'm using Ehost.net for hosting. I just used godaddy to buy the domain name

Re: Website builders need help
 

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.
