Hi guys

I just finished working on my first website so I guess publishing to the web is next thing to do. Don't know if I made mistake but I choose 2mhost cause they are cheeeep. My question is: HOW TO MAKE MY PAGES ONLINE? I used dreamweaver and they have couple of things I dont understand. What to put in "FTP Host" and "Host Directory".

:homer: thanks for your time people

You don't need to put anything for your host directory. I would assume ftp.yourdomain.com is your ftp host

vpopovic,

If your host is any good at all, they'll walk you through the basics of FTP-ing your site to their server. :D

i know, i already contacted them. i just uploaded my files to CPanel-5 however I am still trying to descover how to make pages visable.

Hmmm.
You should use FTP better than using a web interface to upload your files. If you can use FTP, set it up and use it instead.

Your files should go into a directory in your account. Usually /www/. The host should tell you what directory exactly.

Your site should contain a file named index.htm, index.html or default.htm (depending what kind of server your in). This html file will be the first page people see when they type in your URL. So, if your domain name is yourdomain.com, when they type yourdomain.com, the index or default html file will load and that's the first thing they see.

So in order to make your pages 'visible'... you need to upload your files in the right server directory. And use one of the files mentioned above as your 'first page' (index.htm, index.html or default.htm). Then just type yourdomain.com in your browser and voila!

Note, you don't need to use index.htm, index.html or default.htm to view your pages. It just makes things easier. If you dont use one of those files as your first page, people will have to type yourdomain.com/firstpage.html instead of just yourdomain.com.

Hope that helps a bit

HI !
Jessica is quite impressive with that answer... Nothing much for me to add here just a summary...
Hostname - domain.com
username - your username
password - your password
Upload directory - public_html (actually for cpanel the directory is stored at /home/username/public_html )

A good ftp client is leech ftp...

Also remember to have a default home page named index.html

Have a great day :)
