You may also wish to use other publishing tools to create your website, and in that case you will want to use a FTP client to transfer your web pages onto your web site. Here is a simple and quick guide to getting your website up and running in no time!

1. Create your web site

2. Publish your site

3. Get found on the web



1. Create your web site

There are a variety of ways to create content. The easiest way is to use our spiffy site builder.

There are also a large variety of web content publishing tools such as Macromedia Dreamweaver & Fireworks that are available for sale, as well as many other free publishing tools that you can find on the Internet. Why not try http://www.download.com

Other tools that are helpful include graphical editing tools such as Paintshop Pro and even more dynamic content generators like Flash. You may also wish to edit your contents yourself by using a text editor and learning HTML.

Here are some pointers to learning HTML.

2. Publish your web site

Once you've finished creating your page/site, you'll need to upload it to your web server. Your toolbox includes a tool that allows you to upload your content, but we recommend FTP (File Transfer Protocol) for most sites.

FTP allows a person to transfer files between two computers, generally connected via the Internet. You can either FTP your files via the command line (i.e. DOS), or you can find yourself an FTP client which executes all the commands in a drag-and-drop interface. We would highly recommend the latter to beginners and experts alike. FTP clients make the publishing process simple.

FTP Basics
To FTP, you will need to know the host location , as well as your FTP username & password.

Your host location is: ftp.yoursite.com.au
Your username & password are in your welcome email.

All your web site contents are stored in the “www” folder.

Using an FTP Client
Most FTP clients have the same basic layout, functionality, and price. Choosing one is simply a matter of personal preference.

Some of the more popular clients for Windows-based computers include WS_FTP, CuteFTP, and BulletProof FTP and for Macintosh computers include Fetch, and Interarchy. All these programs come with documentation, and it shouldn't take you long to figure out how to get started. But here are a few basics:

- There will be some kind of "Site Manager" feature which
will store all your FTP locations and their corresponding
login information. Once you enter this info, the client will
automatically log you in.

- There will be three screens. One representing your local
machine, one representing the remote host, and one which
shows the files that are queued for transfer. You will need
to navigate to the correct folders on both your local
machine and the host machine.

- You will then highlight the files you wish to upload on your
local machine, and there should be a button at the top that
queues the files for upload. The upload might execute
immediately, or you might have to hit a "Go" button first.

- That's it! Your files are uploaded! You should now be able
to go to your URL and view the page.



3. Get found on the web!

NOTE: Be sure that you do not submit your site to search engines before you have published your site!

Search Engines & Internet Catalogs
Probably the most common way to publicize your site and generate traffic is to submit it to search engines (i.e. Google) and internet catalogs (i.e. Yahoo!). Each search engine has its own method of submission, so you will need to fo to their home pages to find out more.

Meta Tags
By adding meta tags to your site, you can increase the relevancy of your pages in people's searches. Visit our knowledge base to find out more.

Reciprocal Links
If your page has a theme, seek out pages with similar themes and ask the webmaster to post a link to your site. In exchange, you promise to add a link to their site on yours. This is a great way to get the word out about your site for free.

Newsgroups
Look for newsgroups where you think people who would be interested in your site might frequent. Post a message announcing your site and its features. Don't do this too often as it is sometimes considered Spamming (unsolicited advertising).

Web Rings
If there are other pages that are similar to yours, there might be a web ring out there dedicated to your kind of site. Do an internet search for "web ring" and include a keyword related to your site. If you join a web ring, you will need to add a web ring graphic and links to your page.

Advertising
If you really want to give your site some exposure, you can create a banner ad and find a company that will get your banner put up on numerous pages. The cost generally depends on the amount of impressions (how many times it is seen) or click-throughs (how many times it is actually clicked on).

  setting up your email

An important aspect of your online presence is your email.

Your hosting package allows you to set up email boxes under your domain name, such as joe@yourdomain.com and to then collect email from those email boxes using an email program such as outlook express.

It also allows you to view your email in a hotmail-like interface called "web mail" anywhere using an internet browser like the one you’re currently using to view this page.



Step 1 - Set up your email boxes
To set up your email boxes, please log in to your toolbox above. You then click on the “manage my email” button located near the top of the page. You will be guided through the steps to set up an email box.


Step 2 - Set up your email program

  troubleshooting email

Can’t access your email?
If you can’t log in to access your email, you may have forgotten your password. Unfortunately if you have forgotten your password, there is no way to retrieve it. It can however be easily reset in your toolbox.

I can receive email fine, but
can’t send at all!

If you’re able to receive email, but can’t send, try checking your email settings. There are a couple of reasons this may be happening...


1. You must be authenticated to send email through your mail server. Try checking the box that says “my outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”, using the same username & password that you use to send mail. Click here for the tutorial


2. Your ISP (the people that provide you with access to the internet) are blocking you from sending mail.

To easily resolve this, you will need to make sure that the outgoing port number for your SMTP server is set to “2525” instead of the default “25”.

In most email programs, this is under “Advanced settings”.
