Godaddy.com problems?

I made this website for a company. It is my first site I have put on the web. they used godaddy for the hosting. They gave me the hosting acct and login password. I transfered the files over but I do not know how or where you can go set up the html pages so you can make it go online. Does anyone know the answer to my question? Help would be appreciated

Godaddy.com problems?

You probably don%26#039;t want to hear this.

I%26#039;d suggest using godaddy as ONLY a registrar, with actual hosting done some place else.

Godaddy has some strange things pertaining to their web server configuration and general setup.

If the company makes the switch now, it%26#039;ll be a lot easier than after they establish themselves.

You might explain to them that using a separate registrar will help prevent the hosting provider from holding their domain name %26quot;hostage%26quot; as using a separate registrar enables you to point the domain at a different host later on if you choose, without interference from the old host.

I say this as someone who has attempted to install web software and work with clients who have godaddy accounts. I can support them, but everything is weird, non-standard at godaddy.

They%26#039;re OK for static content and they%26#039;d probably make a fine registrar but their %26quot;mass hosting%26quot; approach just doesn%26#039;t work well for serious web sites.

(Full disclosure, I wrote that)

Also, do your own search, don%26#039;t just take my word for it. Lots of people run into problems with godaddy as they move into more elaborate web based applications.

Godaddy.com problems?

With a hosting account, as soon as you put the page at the site, the page is live.

make sure that the home page is in the root and not in another folder or you will need to specify the folder too

Also, make sure that the hosting account you are uploading to is attached to the right domain or you will not see it no matter how hard you try.

Other Replys:Sounds like the DNS (domain name servers) are still pointing to godaddy.

where did you %26quot;transfer%26quot; your files to? on godaddy.com. You%26#039;ll need to give much more details before this can be answered in detail.
