Can somebody help me?

I just registered a domain name with www.register.com and I'm trying to FTP to my site so I can just upload an image to display. But I can't connect. I'm doing something wrong?

i assume ur using a ftp program?

check the ip address, make sure the username ur entering is correct, certain hosts have different ways. for ex. some are admin.yoursite.com, or just yoursite.com, or admin ... also double check ur pw.

Did you change the DNS settings to point to your host's server??

Jeffros Spec V · 08-19-2007, 11:37 PM

Hey I forgot to sign up for the hosting services. I'm sure I'll have 100 questions so please check back.

Ouch cause "register.com" is expensive?

Yeah I'm paying like $60/year or something like that. I guess the other going rates are like $45/year.

BlackBulletTSi · 08-20-2007, 12:40 PM

yea they are a little expensive sometimes. How much did you pay for the actual domain, I only pay 10 a year

I got ****ed. I should have shopped around. I paid like $60/year for the domain (with e-mail) and its like $14/month for hosting

Maybe you can help me with a image problem I'm having?

In my 'public' folder I have 'index.html' I have a few statements to show pictures and all the pictures with are located in 'public/images/"

but they never show up....

"<'a href="http://www.auditor-clothing.com/about">
<'img border="0" src="/pulbic/images/buttons/about_button.jpg" width="132" height="50"></a>   

Scapegoat · 08-20-2007, 01:30 PM

I'm looking to get some side work going on, let me know if you're interested... we can work something out. PS: switch to godaddy for hosting!

Yeah I saw that misspelling but it still doesn't work. If I host the image in photobucket or something they work fine. I don't get it.

I must be typing the location incorrectly.

Yeah I know. But when I look at my directories the pictures are sitting right there.

Z3R0 · 08-20-2007, 01:56 PM

Code:

<a href="http://www.auditor-clothing.com/about" 
<img src="/public/images/buttons/about_button.jpg" border="0" width="132" height="50"></a>

try that

-----------
is the directory like "/www_/public/blah/blah"

If I host is in just the public folder "'www.auditor-clothing.com/about_button.jpg'" that will work. If I try to host it from a folder (Buttons) inside "Public" it's not found. Maybe the permissions of the "Buttons" folder is incorrect or something.

Check it out now www.auditor-clothing.com

Z3R0 · 08-20-2007, 02:36 PM

Code:

&nbsp;<a href="http://www.auditor-clothing.com/about">
<img border="0" src="/buttons/about_button.jpg" width="132" height="45"></a>
<a href="http://www.auditor-clothing.com/contact">
<img border="0" src="/buttons/contact_button.jpg" width="134" height="45"></a>
<a href="http://www.auditor-clothing.com/faqs">
<img border="0" src="/buttons/FAQS_button.jpg" width="118" height="45"></a>

??? that should definately work if there is a button folder with those buttons in it

PS: why don't you just have an images folder with folders in that for the different pages or items? IE: images/buttons or images/index ?

Was that public folder in there to begin with?
