New Guy To Control Panel Needs Help :)

[epic1231]

Hey everyone, this may sound a bit dumb, but i'm new to doing the whole creation of webpages myself.. My previous site was setup by the hosting company and i've decided it's about time for me to learn to do it on my own.. Now i'm stumped though, I got the control panel and got the easy part with emails and all setup.. I'm curious about doing the site itself though. Anyone know of any good indepth help sites that can walk me through or give me an idea on what to do.. I'm still trying to find out where to put my index file so my page actually shows up..

Any information would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Warm Regards,
Bill

Your index.htm page should go in the public_html folder to be viewable when people surf to your URL.

You can then create sub-folders in public_html and put index.htm pages in them. If you have an on-line resume, for instance, you can create a folder named "resume", then put your resume in that folder and name it index.htm. Then when people surf to http://www.yourdomain.tld/resume it will load.

You could have everything in the public_html folder and put links on your index page, but it sometimes slows down loading of the public_html folder when you are using CPanel or FTP. So most of us have a "images" folder, a "forums" folder, etc.
