Web
Site Hosting (FAQ) |
 |
Which hosting
platform do I need: NT or UNIX? |
| |
Do you NEED IIS? ASP? MS SQL? If you answered yes to any
of those then you need to host on the NT platform.
Otherwise, Unix is an option. |
 |
Which hosting
platform is better? |
| |
Well if you don't need NT(above),Unix is generally a more
stable platform. |
 |
How do I
upload my data on server? |
| |
It's pretty simple! FTP allows you to transfer files from
your computer to a webserver, for the world to see!
Once you send the files across, they will be available
on the Internet. Be sure to remember that filenames
ARE case-sensative. |
 |
When entering
my home page URL, my Web Page doesn't show up? |
| |
If you enter your URL (ie. www.tfb.com/~your_user_name )
and can't see your newly uploaded page, then you
need to check out a couple of things.
Make sure that your home page is named index.html
Your index.html file should be in your wwwpage directory.

How does
a Web site work? |
| |
A Web site is simply a collection of files that reside on
a computer connected to the Internet. When someone
visits your site, they are actually contacting that
computer, and that computer (called a Web server)
gives the visitor the files they want to see. It
sounds very simple, but most normal computers don't
have the power or the software needed to constantly
respond to all the requests made by all the visitors
to a site. And even if they did, they'd need an
extremely fast connection to the Internet to keep
up with all the requests. Most people and small
companies don't have the resources to run a Web
server, and that is where Web Hosting comes in. |
 |
What are
Auto-Responders? |
| |
Auto-responders respond automatically to mail received at
certain addresses. For example, you can set an auto-responder
to automatically deliver a file containing information
on your company's products when a customer sends
a request to products@yourcompany.com. You can configure
auto-responders to deliver immediate information
to customers in a timely manner. |
 |
What are
Autoforwards? |
| |
Autoforwards are emails which are automatically directed
to another email account as soon as it receives
an incoming mail. |
