can someone help me with setting up my hosting with gotwebhost.com
 

my hosting account just got setup but im kinda lost on what i should do since a friend set up the hosting i had before i switched...i changed my dns server to the new one i got from gotwebhost but then i get an error when i try to visit my site that says "To change this page, upload your website into the public_html directory" I have no clue what that is...help please:helpme

probably easiest is to just contact their support?

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

you need to some files to the public_html folder on your server

well yea but im impatient.

I am here. Just ICQ me 16075497 or call 888.467.8532

If you are who I think you are (just setup this morning) I can call you if easier.

how do i do that? remember, my friend setup my shit to begin with, now im completely lost

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.

or, visit: http://www.site-helper.com/uploading.html

But again, I am here to help . . . 24/7/365

i logged into ftp and downloaded all my info to a fodler on my desktop...now i need to upload my index.php to the public_html folder but where is a public_html folder?

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.

bump 4 some help

Do you have a phone? ICQ? yahoo chat?

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.

ahh sorry did not see that

YOU or your techs? What if you are sleeping ?

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.

I have a very obnoxious ring tone. No one can sleep through it.

i have AIM- Phiftyscent

I tried to contact you on you icq # that your site has listed but it says you're offline.

16075497 I am sorry, but I do not have AIM . . . what is your ICQ number, I will contact you.

Nice now thats what I call good service There you go iSMOKE contact Baddog

lol late post

Baddog you can hit me up on ICQ if you want and I can relay what you say to him I have Yahoo AIM

wow whats your number

I installed AIM, trying to find a screenname available . . . wish I could remember what my old one was.

lemme download it real quick. I have like 500000000 friends with ICQ that i talk to using aim but for some reason it wont let me message you. ill contact you as soon as i get it setup

Ok.. wish more webhosts were as helpfull as you ...nice one :thumbsup

Thanks for your offer.

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

use SN:whitemale22 Pass: Jasmin22

NP... I know how frustrating it is when somebody needs help I have been in a similar situation many times in the past

I authorized him, can see him, but I guess he can't see me . . . or hasn't authorized me

im sending you messages now...it said you accepted me as a friend or something

Man, took a while to find a name that wasn't already taken

Have to say, hate these default tones they use these days

That is just how we treat all of our customers . . . big and small, dedicated or virtual.

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

Glad to help.

sounds like a great host!

hey, if you still need help, icq me if some how baddog cannot translate, he knows DA as well as anyone, so if you can't get him on the phone, ocq me and i will walk you through it.

i need a fucking pizza.

Thanks, but he has been up and running for quite a while now . . . if you had read his last post.

Jesus H. Christ.

Why is it so hard for people to pick of the phone and get the issue resolved?


Toll free number posted at 9:13PM and it took until 11:58am today to get this handled? AIM/ICQ bullshit.....PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE YOU LAZY BASTARD.....It's a free call.

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

We got him running last night. He had wordpress issues that we helped him with this morning.

Two different issues.

yeah, i fail to understand why some just can't call.
