What do i do? or where and how is the proper way to uplaod a hole site? ( html )

You upload all of your webpage files to your public_html folder.

public_html or www. They're the same thing. It won't read correctly unless it's in one of those.

How are you referencing the links from your index page?

When it comes to making a webpage, there is 'first things first'


with webhosting it works as followed:
>make an index page for your website
>upload it to your public_html folder, also known www
>go to your cPanel and log in
>browse to the url redirection settings
>then do the following:
http://your-domain.trap17.com/[empty space] >> http://your-domain.trap17.com/[your index page]
then apply the redirection (you can choose to make it a temporary redirection or a permanent one)

then you can use either:
http://your-domain.trap17.com
http://www.your-domain.trap17.com
or even:
your-domain.trap17.com

It all redirects to the set redirection url

Hope this helps you ^^

Everything stated so far is correct and questioned as well properly. If you are new to the scene and don't know how to use redirects and such you want to just use the basic index.html as your first/main home page.

You always upload to www or public_html folder unless once again you are redirecting to another folder contained within those folders mentioned. Store it anywhere else to keep it out of site from others if your working on it or make a blank index.html page so they can't just surf your directory contents.

Viable utility is a ftp client as well which will help to assure you get it in the right location . Myself i use Filezilla, free opensource and very stable/reliabe.

Hopethis information helps you goood luck.

i use filezilla i am not having a problum with the index taht is all good it is the links to my other pages taht is the problum. I have my other pages uploaded to the same palce as my index and when i click them it sends me to mysite.trap17.com/links.html which should be the links page but it doesn't come up.

Make sure that the links pointing to the pages are the same. For example it´s common to have a link like (links.htm) and the page that you wanted to open is called (links.HTML) because the editor has saved it with that name, for example.

Anyway, if you try your website and the links work properly in your hard disk, there is no reason why it shouldn´t work if you upload them all with the same structure to the "www" folder. But only if you have relative links, of course.

if your links.htm (or .HTML) is in the same directory as index.html, use just the name of the page for a url (links.htm)
or use a complete url if all else fails http://www.your-site.trap17.com/links.htm

hope that explains it.
