Well, thank you Chip. But I'm really a bit worried. Didn't I forget something???

OK masterbuilders, maybe it's your turn now to explain some hosting things as I'm more SiteBuilder woman - LOL!!!

Truely yours!

Not sure if  100MB is enough for a blog, but should be worth a try.

100MB is TONNES for a blog.  Bear in mind that blogs are mostly text, including HTML code (more text).  If there are images, they are reused on every page.  This means *very* little space.  My first website had about 30 pages and dozens of images.. and it all fit on a 1.44 MB 3¼" floppy disk. 

It will take you a very long time to make a blog fill up 100MB of space.

Thanks Tatjana

As a 'Newbie' myself, that list is going to be very helpful, not only to me, but I imagine to a lot of other newbies as well.

I am still finding out new things about this GDI business (I just look forward to the time when I can do this business 'full time' with a J.O.B. getting in the way!)

I have copied the list into word, and I think I am just starting to get my 'reference' folder organised!

WHAT A GREAT BUSINESS! THANKS GDI!

Hi:

I want to know the complete features of the hosting
that comes with the domain for free.

I know that is 100MB and 1GB of monthly transfers but
that's the only things that I know.

I used SmartFTP, which is free online< to transfer my own website I created with Microsoft Front Page 2003. The transfer is seamless and there is plenty of room for further growth. I am deeply impressed with what I get for $10.00 a month.

I was wondering, I am a new member and want to build my site with front page and would like to know how to view the webpage when up loaded to the site.  When I up loaded the files through ftp to the address provided I still cannot see the page except if I would click on the link but the address still has ftp:// in front of it.

Can someone please help me?

Dave.

I had trouble Uploading to the GDI Server at first too.
I downloaded some software which allowed me to create a folder on the server.
You have to create a folder that is the same name as your domain -     yourdomain.ws for example.
Once you have created this folder you can then use the same software I mentioned earlier to Upload all your Web Pages to the server.
BTW your home page should be saved as index.html

hope this helps

Hmmm.

I am not sure about this. I suspect there is already a folder called www or publichtml

Your HTML stuff goes in there.

yeah there is, but I was just using FrontPage at first to try to Upload. GDI admin referred me to Download.com cos I was uploading to the sever, not my folder on the server, you see there are limits to what you can do with Frontpage, no folder view etc. The software I use now gives me both My Computer and My Server on 1 screen and I just Drag n Drop either way...
BTW I use WEB CEO now, it even showed me how to do the entire process.. GDI were not very helpful, too vague for me cos I knew nothing of the process.
Like anything, once you have done it once, it is easy.

It's all in the wrist action,

Hmm...

I guess i didn't found about this in forum. I've got mail when I set my domain to host. They said that it's should contain index.html in my uploaded site's files . If I build in PHP, how can I use this WS? Is there a support for PHP? CGI? mySQL? others?

Sorry i'm newbie. Any suggestions?

Nope sorry not in the site builder option. In the hosted option you should be able to set up scripting but I am not sure as to the extent as I have never tried this option. Email support ws_support@wsdomains.ws

[StephenChua]

Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

Having problems with Website.ws hosting my site (without sitebuilder).  I want to upload my own files - as I have done already.  I have uploaded index.html however going to my domain www.rodrigosoto.ws shows the page 'underconstruction'.  Am i missing something here?

Kind Regards
