This section provides a guide to uploading your web site. For first time users, please read the help section that comes with your FTP software, or if you are still unsure and need extra help, please email hosting@DomainNamesGB.com with your query.

Important information for FrontPage users!
If you have designed your site using Microsoft FrontPage, we must install FrontPage extensions on your web space. Please login to your Control Panel to reqest this before you upload.

Once the FrontPage extensions have been installed, you must publish via the option within FrontPage itself. The address to publish to must be http://www.yourdomainname.co.uk

If you are not using Front Page and require to upload using other FTP software, you may download software here for free.

The following FTP example is for WS FTP. After installation you will be presented with the screen below.

The Host Name/Address should be ftp.yourdomainname.co.uk. Please substitute the yourdomainname.co.uk for the domain name you have purchased. User Id's and passwords are case sensitive with no spaces. The login details you should use are those which you specified on your registration/upgrade form.

Once you have logged into your web space, you will then see the following screen.

The left hand window shows the files on your PC, the right hand window shows the files in your web space.

Select the files you wish to upload from the left hand window, and click the -> button. This will upload the files to your web space.

Please make sure your home page is saved as default.htm or index.htm (in lower case).

You will also need to delete the two files named index.asp and default.asp from your webspace in order for your website to show.
