Creating a Website - Help with html or maybe ftp :)?

Question

I am creating a website through html.

I saved my home page at index.html
and my second page as about_us.html

but my question is how do I add in the url? so it can be accessed online.

So for my first page i would want http://www.mywebsite.com
and my second page http://www.mywebsite.com/about_us

Is there some html code I need to put in?

Please help!

By the way I have already purchaseed hosting and i'm using filezilla as my ftp programme.

Thanks :)

You would need a host for this, to host your files on a server, but when you get a host in this case you should get a free one (starting out) the provide you with what is called a sub domain, for example say the host is 000webhost.com a great free host and you want your website to be called awesomealpahabet, they would give a subdomain of maybe: awesomealphabet.000webhost.com. That is where a domain comes in so you can have your own domain, in this case: awesomealphabet.com, you can get domains for free but they are no .com, .net but they are .co.cc or .co.nr on the end of your domain.



I contacted you through your email offering assistance of getting started.

Log in with FileZilla. Expand all the folders out until you find the root directory folder. Might be named public_html. It may or may not already contain an index.html file. Even if it does, you will be uploading your new one and overwriting it and all other files that are presently existing with the same name as your pages.



If you have images and have them locally on your hard drive in their own folder (recommended), then use FileZilla to make a new folder in the Remote Pane with name you've chosen to maintain the same path relationships.



Always add a "/" after a URL. Prevents a double call to server.



For links, you'll need a site navigation menu on each page so people can get around.

Hi There,



You are off to a good start.



Since you already uploaded your "index" page you should be able to enter the URL for it in your browser and it should be there.



For your second page you need to upload it to the same place as the first one.



Finaly you need to insert a link to your second page from the first page.



That means you need to add the link and upload your first page to the server again.



You will need to "overwrite" the original page with the corrected one.



Both pages should be in the same "root folder" to make it easier.



Below is some code as an example. The line below is for the link to the second page.



The h3 tags just make the text larger than "body text" and could be omitted.

ABOUT US

I did this example using Kompozer

(free download) which makes making webpages much easier.



Hope this helps. The code you need to add is the link to the second page and as long as both files are in the same place you don't need the full URL description. The browser will find it.



To return to the first page the viewer will just press the "back button".

Answer 5

Your hosting service should have provided you information to where to ftp your files.



You will need the web server name to make the ftp connect to.

Then you should have your login information to log into the server.

And then they should have given you info on what directory to put your files.



Most likely, they would have set it up where once you log in, you will go directly to your home directory. And you can ftp your files there.

Answer 6

Well, you are going to have to use Filezilla to upload the files to your website. Enter in your server, login user, and password to connect to your server. Just upload the index.html file. Then go to your site address and it should be there. For your about page, you are going to have to go to yoursite.com/about_us.html. To link to any page on your site or the net, use the link tag: Link to somewhere



Yes.

Create a menu bar and upload your new html page... You can keep things simple... It doesn't affect the sites professionalism...



Example:



Home About Us something else something else again





or



Home



About Us



Something Else





If you wish to create fancy menu bars you can use Javascript... Here's a good site:
