1.2.2 Using FrontPage 98

You will need to refer to the account information email that you received from us throughout this manual. It's the email with following subject heading: [yourdomain].com-accinfo-[customerID].  In the body of the email, you will find following information:

1. ACCOUNT INFORMATION+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DOMAIN NAME...............:[yourdomain].com*
USER NAME.................:[username]
PASSWORD..................:[passwd]
IP ADDRESS................:209.xxx.xxx.xxx
DEFAULT EMAIL.............:[username]@[yourdomain]

*Depending on your domain, you may have [yourdomain].net, .org, or any of the non-US top level domains or extensions.

Now Let's begin (assuming that you are already connected to the Internet.)

After you have built your html documents and are ready to upload them to our server:

1) Open the web you've created on your PC using FP Explorer.

2) Choose File > Publish

3) If your "Destination Web Server" doesn't appear in the Publish window (it won't the first time you publish to our server) Click "More Webs" and type the location of the web to publish to: [yourdomain].com or [209.xxx.xxx.xxx]. Hit return.

 

IMPORTANT: [yourdomain].com vs [209.xxx.xxx.xxx]
If it has only been three or four days since you received the account information email, then you should use [209.xxx.xxx.xxx]. If it has been more than that, you should use [yourdomain].com.  After your domain name is active on the Internet, you should always use [yourdomain].com.

 

4) You will be asked for your USERNAME and PASSWORD. Type in [username] and [passwd]

5) You can watch the progress of the upload by looking at the bottom left corner of FP Explorer.
