Setting up web site.

[Jeff M]

I'm sure this is a really newbish question, but screw it, i need help.

so I've got the website i want set up, and everything is saved to unlimitedFTP, but i don't know how i set it up so that when people enter my website into their browser, that it opens the .html file i want it to.

i hope i communicated that clearly, thanks for your time.

What you say is slightly confusing.

UnlimitedFTP is a FTP program. It transfers files from your local computer to your web account on Hostmonster. You don't really save anything "to" it, you use the program to save files to your web server account space. It is simply a catalyst to get your files from your home pc to your website.

Now, all you should have to do is upload, or transfer your website files from your computer to your website account, making sure you place those files in the public_html directory for your web account. the actual location is /home/youraccount/public_html.

Once that is done, make sure you name your main page either index.html, or index.htm. I recommend index.html because it's more of the standard, but it's up to you. Just remember that links back to your homepage will have to refer to this file name.
