Im using IX web hosting, maybe you have to put them in another file?

Answer 1

I am not familiar with CoreFTP, but upon checking them out, I saw that this particular program hasn't been updated in over a year.

I would recommend FileZilla as your FTP program because I know for a fact that it does what it's supposed to do, and that's to upload your files to your host without any problems. I use it almost every day without any problems and it's updated regularly. Try it - it's free: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

P.S. My files are uploaded into my public_html directory and my files also have the extension of .html - so for you to name your home page index.html should NOT be a problem.

Answer 2

I have used Core FTP and it does work fine.

Ask your ISP where you need to put your files on the remote computer and what to name the home page - some use .htm and others .html

From what you have said, your page should be visible on the web. Also, ask the ISP to view the server and see if your pages are there and in the correct directory.

Answer 3

public_html?!
Not sure about that, i just put all my files in the htdocs file

O and you shouldn't be naming it index.html either.....just index.htm
