Is it easy to upload Dreamweaver pages to godaddy?

I am trying to keep down cost. I want to buy a domain name and hosting from godaddy, but if I buy Website Tonight from them the price jumps drastically.



Is it easy to upload pages to their web server?

Yes, I do this pretty much everyday.



First, you need to set it up in DW (Dreamweaver). Here%26#039;s how:



If you have NOT defined your local copy of the site in DW:



Site %26gt; New Site



Enter in your info. (WHat you want to call your site, where all the files will be, images directory, etc.)



Then, on the left %26quot;Category%26quot; side, click %26quot;remote info%26quot;. Go to the %26quot;Advanced%26quot; tab and on the drop down choose %26quot;FTP%26quot;



your ftp host is: www.yoursitename.com



(of course, change yoursitename with the domain name you purchased from godaddy or whereever)



Leave %26quot;Host Directory%26quot; blank and enter in your godaddy login information. (your godaddy username and password).



I have %26quot;Maintain Synchronization%26quot; and %26quot;Save%26quot; checked and nothing else.



Then, test connection with the %26quot;Test%26quot; button. It should connect and say %26quot;Macromedia connected successfully.%26quot; Click %26quot;Ok%26quot; on that tab and %26quot;Ok%26quot; on the Remote Info thing.



Then, all you need to do is synchronize your local copy with your %26quot;remote%26quot; godaddy copy.



For this, go to your %26quot;Files%26quot; panel. First you need to connect by clicking the %26quot;electric plug/socket%26quot; like icon (the first one on there). Then you need to synchronize by clicking the %26quot;Expand to show remote and local files%26quot; icon (the very last one).



Then, on the new screen that shows up, there is a green recycle like icon on top that says %26quot;Synchronize%26quot; and wallah, your sites will be synchronized. Get and Put are pretty self-explanatory.



Hopefully this helped!
