- You will have to use the IP
address that we have supplied you with, to publish your
website to our servers until the InterNic has completed
the registration or transfer of your domain name to the IP
address on our server. Once the InterNic process is
completed and your domain name has propagated throughout
the Internet, you will then be able to use your domain
name instead of the IP address to publish your website,
access your website using an Internet browser and have
access to your email account along with all the features
of your account.
- IMPORTANT
NOTE: All filenames are case sensitive.
This means that default.htm (the correct filename) is not
the same file as DEFAULT.HTM. In order to avoid problems
or conflicts with FrontPage, we suggest that you use all
lower case file names.

Important: If you use FrontPage to publish
your website to our server, then DO NOT USE an FTP or
Telnet program to Add, Edit or Delete files in the
"www" directory that are "directly"
related to your FrontPage website. This is where your
FrontPage extensions are kept. You will corrupt the
FrontPage extensions.
- Here are the procedures to publish
your website to our servers.
- 1)
Make sure your homepage is called "default.htm".
This will overwrite the existing "default.htm"
when you publish your FrontPage website to our FrontPage
server. After you have finished your edits and want to
publish your WebSite to our server, start the publishing
process by proceeding to Step #2.
- 2)
Load your website into FrontPage Explorer.
- 3)
Connect to the Internet. Make sure you have a proper
connection.
- 4)
In FrontPage Explorer under "File", select
"Publish FrontPage Web" The "Publish"
dialog box will open.
- 5)
Click on "More Webs".
- 6)
In the "Publish FrontPage Web" dialog box where
it says "Please specify the location to which you
want to publish your FrontPage web" type in: your
"IP Address" or your
"yourdomainname.com" without the quotes. Again
use your IP Address until the InterNic has linked the new
IP to your Domain name (this information is at the top of
this page).
- 7)
You will be prompted to insert your name and password.
This input is case sensitive.
- Username:
(information at the top of this page)
Password: (information
at the top of this page)
- 8)
Your WebSite will then be uploaded to our server from your
computer. This may take a while - be patient. The status
of the publishing progression will be displayed in the
bottom left side of "FrontPage Explorer". This
completes the publishing process. If you have any problems
with this publishing sequence, please refer to your
Frontpage manual or the online help feature. If all else
fails, let us know what the problems are and we will do
our best to help you out.

IMPORTANT: Never use FTP or Telnet to
delete files from your rootweb or subweb. This will
corrupt your FrontPage extensions. FrontPage has to be
aware of all changes. Please use the following information
in order to delete orphan or unwanted files from the
server.
1)
Connect to the Internet.
2)
Open FrontPage Explorer.
3)
Under "File", select "Open FrontPage
Web".
4)
Click on "More Webs".
5)
You are now in the "Open FrontPage Web" dialog
box.
- 6)
In the "Select a Web server or disk location"
enter your "IP Address" or
"yourdomainname.com". Again, use your IP Address
until the InterNic has linked the new IP to your Domain
name. Then click on "List Webs".
7)
In the "FrontPage Webs found at location" select
"<Root Web>" or the name of your subweb.
- 8)
Enter your username and password; this will then load your
website from our server into the FrontPage Explorer. You
can now delete any file or folder. After you are finished,
exit the FrontPage Explorer program.
This is the safest way of deleting unwanted files without
the possibility of corrupting your FrontPage extensions.
