iSMOKE · 03-15-2008, 08:58 PM

woj · 03-15-2008, 09:08 PM

probably easiest is to just contact their support?

Camco · 03-15-2008, 09:09 PM

you need to upload your index page or index.php into the public_html folder then your site will replace the page you are seeing now

Login to your account with your FTP client. You will see Domains. Click that. You will then see several new directories, including one that says public_html

you will upload your new page there. If it includes an index.php be sure to delete index.html as it will take precedence.

You can also login to your Direct Admin control panel, go to USER LEVEL, then to file manager and follow the same instructions.

I prefer the FTP method myself.

Baddog...my problem is that i just dont understand terminology. Like my friends are saying shit like "upload your blah blah blah"" and im like wtf is all that? I probably know how to do it but just dont recognize the words they are saying to me. I could read your link you just gave me but its all french to me. All i need to do is be taught how to do it step-by-step one time and i will be fine. Ive just had it done for me in the past so now that its my turn to do it solo im lost.

Do you have a phone? ICQ? yahoo chat?

halfpint · 03-15-2008, 10:06 PM

1 log into your cpanel example would be http://www.yoursite.com/cpanel
2 enter your user and pasword
3 it will load up a Cpanel like the one below ..double click on the "File Manager" the one I have circled
4 It will open up all your folders, and in there is your Public-html folder
5 Double click on the folder , not the text
6 The folder will open and give you the option of uploading your index file
7 the quickest and easiest way to upload your files is using a ftp manager like filezilla which you can download for free
Then configure the ftp manager to your ftp address. It will tell you how to do this with the filezilla program.

He has Direct Admin, don't confuse him please.

I could give step by step with user/pass but I don't think that would be a great idea.

DA is very simple to use. A call to our toll free number will go to me, or ICQ or yahoo chat and I can show him how easy, but I need to be contacted.

ICQ and AIM are cross compatible now. You should be able to add him by using his user name.

Best service anyone could ask for. Baddog completely walked me thru setup step by step. Most places just have an email response that never fully answers your question. Helped me workout some problems i was having this morning with wordpress too. Tanya gave me a lot of help also. 2 thumbs up for gotwebhost.com

Could not agree more. Why are people in this business so afraid of actual contact?

Two different issues.
