one last question
i just registered my domain so i am suppose to wait 24 hours or so before is active,
now how do i upload my html pages and stuff ? does the main page have to be index.html ?
still havent figured out how the domain name is transfered to the host
ummm....
hope you dont mind me being so annoying
thanks

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

Senior Member
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.

thanks rjbeals i suppose you have the same account
i have a new problem now and before i mess things up i 'd rather ask
i created a mail account aboutus@paintek.com it works fine with neomail
now i would like to have it on my outlook so i dont have to log in all the time
or all the mail from aboutus@paintek.com to be forwaded to my main email lets say magnetosblabla@aol.com
thanks
