    you have to fix the DNS of your domain to match with the host, they will send you an email with the DNS info

    to transfer files i suggest getting an ftp program that basically connects your computer to your server to allow you to transfer files from your computer to your server, or from the server to your computer

    for an ftp program i would go to http://download.com

    and search for one, I know of one called FTP Commander, its a pretty simple interface. GL

    thanks again frostbite i already have WS_ftp95 but i think i am gonna use their file manager which seems pretty easy to use dont know if WS uploads faster though

    one last thing .. they telling me that i can upload my files to the public_html folder and that i can see my files to a temporary ip address but i uploaded my index.html page and a picture which is embedded in the html file
    i see the index.html page but the picture wont show up
    is there a different folder for pictures?

    this is last question i promise

    thanks

    no there is not, I would check to make sure your script is right first of all, second what I would do just to keep things organized is to create a folder within the public_html named images, and put your images there

    then you can just call on it with a relative link: <img src="images/picture.gif"

    Make sure to name you images all lowercase.

    If you link to images/picture.GIF
    and your pictures is called picture.gif
    It will not show up since the case is not the same.
