Creating A Homepage??

ok fellers this is what i would like to do
with my current ISP i have 10mb of web space and i wanna make use of it
how do i go about doing this?
i know the basics of HTML and how to creat a site but not how i can attach it to my web space provided by my ISP

can anyone help???

Your isp should have given you a ftp address

something like [email]ftp@username.isp.com.au[/email]

make sure you name your title page index.html

and hmm.. when you open your ftp address just copy all your page as if you were copying stuff across files

yeah i got a ftp address i just dont understand how u mean copy the files accross to it ?

Using a ftp client...bulletproof ftp and leap ftp and theres others out there.
Then you put in the address and connect using your user name and then Upload the files to the directory they give you...or you may automatically logon to your webspace when you login using the ftp client.
Its not too hard, trial and error. :)

Please correct me if im wrong...or give him better instructions.
If your lucky they may have a web interface for you to use.?? check that out. :D

Just assume that the ftp address that opens is a normal folder on your desktop called My Webpage
and you want to transfer your page into that folder

you cut and paste right?

thats uploading onto the ftp server hehe

i am a still lost :(
anyonw have the time or energy to walk me through it onver icq?
if u can that would be great
ICQ# 35263438

sigh. what isp?

Come down to DGA this weekend, and we all the Nreds :) *looks @ SperO* :)

the ISP is D2 or dot.com

we can tell you.... to upload its easy, and to make web pages get Dreamweaver.

the actual upload process is probably dependant a bit on the ISP cos it could be a different type of username.

go to your ISPs home page, and if its worth its salt, it will have n00b howtos on how to set up a web page. I know optus does.

Speaking of FTP, anyone got a free* ftp program they can send me?

*=wink wink nudge nudge

d2 is slightly different then normal isps for webpage hosting (they're also my isp)

go to the d2 web page (www.d2.net.au) and click on accounts manager on the left, then enter your username and password, and there should be a section there called 'domains' you have to setup your webspace name (ie, your home page will be http://yourchoice.d2.net.au)

once that is done, you ftp into your web space, by connecting to webftp.yourchoice.d2.net.au
and the username you use is [email]yourusername@webftp.yourchoice.d2.net.au[/email] the password should be the same as your dialin password. then you just upload your pages. presto.

Are you talking bout a server or a client program?

http://tucows.ozemail.com.au

Thank the gods for Dreamweaver.
I was stumbling around in the dark,stuffing up script and stuff trying to put a website together.
Then i got me a copy of dreamweaver and now im a web head. :lol:
