Building web pages

How do I make my web pages?
To build your web pages you need an HTML editor.
If you do not have one we recommend using WYSIWYG Web Builder which is a free program - Click Here for instructions.
Note: we do not provide support for this or any other software or for any web building issues.

How do I get my pages on the server?
If your web design program does not have a built in uploading function you need to upload your web pages using an FTP program. You will find a number of free or shareware FTP programs at www.tucows.com.
You can also use Internet Explorer to upload using FTP Click Here for instructions.
Note: we do not provide support for this or any other software.

I have uploaded my pages, but can't see them?
All files that you want people to see must be in the "public_html" folder. If you can't see them , they have probably been uploaded to the wrong directory by mistake.
Another common problem is people not deleting the default front page (index.html) which is created by the server when new accounts are set up.

Do you support Microsoft Frontpage?
No. If you require Frontpage support you should really upgrade to one of our larger hosting plans.

I have run out of disk space, but I have hardly uploaded anything!
Your 10MB of disk space is used for your web site and e-mail messages. Make sure you have your e-mail software set to not leave copies of messages on the server. If you are using the webmail feature clear out your folders occasionally (including the sent items folder) then click on the recycle bin icon in the webmail interface. If this does not help, log in via FTP and delte the /tmp directory. This will delete your stored web statistics and may create some extra space. You should also look at the .spamassassin directory as this will sometimes fill up with data as the system learns how to identify spam correctly.

I cannot see my images!
The most common reasons for this are having an image file called image.JPG and having html in your web page that looks for image.jpg. These are not the same file names and it won't work.

All I see is a list of files!
The page you want to load when pepole type in your domain name must be called index.html (lower case "i"). If it isnt then the server will not know what page to deliver and will show a list for people to choose from. All web hosts have the default index page set to index.html.
