Your FTP software
will want information to
connect to your webspace.

Host: yourdomain.com or yourdomain.ca
Login: your login
Pass: your password

Your hosting account has several important folders. Only one is for your website. Once you have logged in, find the /public_html/ by double clicking to navigate. Transfer your files here.

You can purchase FTP software (our favorite is WS_FTP), or you can find free software.


Frontpage, Dreamweaver or Site Software
Your software will want information in order to connect to your webspace.

Host: yourdomain.com or yourdomain.ca
Login: your login
Pass: your password
Path or Folder  /public_html/

These programs create your pages and let you upload without ftp. They use built in ftp so the questions are similar to those for ftp. Your software needs to know the path to your hosting folder, be sure to enter this (using ftp you navigate to it).

Had more in mind? Wanted an elaborate site but don't have a huge budget? May we suggest our favorite Content Management System with interactive features and many excellent template choices?

Q: What is a content management system?

A: Have you ever used Hotmail or Gmail (or blogging?) If you have then you probably can use Content Management. It's a system where instead of building web pages, there is software installed that lets you simply fill out info - and the system builds and links the pages.

Q: Do the sites look good?
A: They actually look incredible especially if you add a professional template. Those keep your site looking fabulous, all you do is add articles, polls, news and other content. Below are just 4 of our library of content management software templates. These are free when you use our CMS Install service.



Q: What can these CMS Set Ups offer?
A: Lots! Membership login system already working, Blogging, Polls, Banner Ads, methods of contacting your members.
