After
you have registeredyour domain name and your hosting service in place, the last step is to upload the website onto the server. You can transfer your web site to
your host's server using an FTP program.
An FTP program is a type of software that is used to
move files from one computer to another over the Internet. FTP is
the acronym for: File Transfer Protocol, this just means that this
is a 'way' of moving files. There are several free FTP programs you can use to move your files onto the server,
and many HTML editors and web design programs like
front page have FTP capabilities built in.
One option
you probably have to FTP your files to the server, is Internet
Explorer. Internet Explorer 5 and up have an FTP program built right in and you can use it by just typing in the FTP address of the server in the address bar preceded by the keyword: FTP.
Here is an example:
FTP://207.35.15.69/youwebsite/
