Most Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do I see a list of files when I enter my domain name in a web browser?

You need to name your main website page "index.html" (no quotes & all lowercase).

 

Having trouble displaying your images on ANY of your webpages?

Well, read this article and follow all suggested steps. Then, you will become a professional at displaying images on your webpages. Make sure you set up for Frontpage extensions if you are using that program. Do not get set up for FrontPage if you are not using the program. The graphics will not show up correctly if there is a conflict.

Making it all come together

Step one (1)

First, your domain must be resolving (pointing) to our server, or your wepages, nor images will display. Well, you ask, how do I know if my domain is resolving to your server? It's simple, but there are two different steps. The first step applys to clients who just registered a new domain name. All you have to do is enter your domain name in the web browser. If it displays anything, you good to go. If you get an error, you must allow more time for your domain to resolve. Now, if your domain was pointing to a different hosting company, you will want to upload a web page to our server that does not exist on your other (old hosts) server. upload any web page to /public_html and name it acenet.html. Now, type yourdomain.com/acenet.html in the web browser and see if the page displays. If it does, your domain is pointing to our server. If it does not, you must allow more time (24-72 hours) for your domain to resolve (assuming you already changed your name servers).

Step two (2):

Assure you are linking your images properly. If you image is located within your public_html folder, you would like it using the path "/image.gif".

example:

<img src="/image.gif">

Okay, lets assume the image is in a folder called "images" and the images folder is in your public_html folder. You would then use:

<img src="/images/image.gif">

* note: all your images & webpages must be within your public_html folder!

Step Three (3):

Okay, so far so good and your images are still not displaying. Well, next step is to login to Cpanel and DISABLE Hotlink Protection. You will see a icon on the main page of Cpanel and a text link stating "hotlink protection". For further documentation on how to disable this feature, consult the CPanel documentation, however, it's very simple.

Okay, well, I bet step three or above fixed your issues and your web page is now properly displayin your image(s).

Good luck with the rest of your site
