Summary
Step by step instructions on how to host your web site.

Here is the steps to create your web site in this site:

1. Register as a member.

2. Go to "My Profile" and click on the link "Create Web Site". You can do this 24 hours after registration.

3. Enter the required details and press "Create Site". Now a web site has been created for you with some default folders and files.

4. Click on the tab "Control Panel"

5. Click on "File Manager".

6. You will see 2 default folders in File manager - "database" and "webroot". All database files must be uploaded to the folder "database". All web site files must be uploaded to the folder "webroot". You should not delete or rename these folders.

If you upload any files directly in your root folder, they will not be accessible in your site.

7. Use the button "Upload Files" to upload files to your folders.

8. If you like to deploy any ASP.NET Starter Kits, go to Control Panel and select "Deploy Starter Kits".

9. If you like to use MS Access database, upload the database files to the "database" folder. Use appropriate connection string from your code.

10. If you like to use SQL Server database, upload your database file (.MDF) to the "database" folder. No need to upload the log file (.LDF). Use Express Manager to attach the file to the SQL Server.
