Take a look at our personal web hosting frequently asked questions for more information.

To set up your personal web site, follow these steps:

Determine which HTML editor you are going to use to develop your web site. Netscape provides templates to help Navigator Gold and Composer users build a web site. For more information on HTML, see the Web Design Group's web site.
Name your main page (the first HTML file that loads) index.html. By using this name, you avoid typing the file name in the URL. If you use a different name, such as home.html, you must include it in URL. When index.html is the main file, for example, you would type http://www.yourISP.com/~username to load your home page. If you name your main file home.html, then you must type http://www.yourISP.com/~username/home.html to view the page.
Upload your web pages using FTP. Do not include the HTML directory when typing your URL. The server automatically points to that directory. The URL of a page is your web site is http://www.yourISP.com/~loginid filename.html. For example, the URL to a home page on 24HourSupport might be http://www.24hoursupport.com/~webmaster/home.html.
