We discount Linux and Windows hosting in Australia and we discount domain names.
Why do registrars and hosting companies like to sell through resellers?
Simply because it's easier for them to collect money through resellers. That's why we can do cheap hosting.
If clients change their email address, the yearly or two-yearly invoice from the registrar may not reach the client who may then lose the domain name through not renewing it on time.
Resellers are always closer to the clients. Registrars and hosting companies may have tens of thousands of accounts and so cannot provide the same personal service.

Uploading your website with FTP
|
We recommend webmasters use a stand-alone FTP program. One client used the FTP facility of Front Page and wiped out his old website but loaded his new website to the wrong folder. Naturally, the website was no longer visible on the web.
Using an FTP program lets you see where your files are both on your system and on the remote system, plus their size, date and time loaded, etc. You can set "View" in the FTP program to use your favourite HTML editor.
Google lists a lot of free or shareware FTP programs including CuteFTP, WS_FTP, SmartFTP, etc.
|
To setup your FTP program to load your file,
go to Sites > Add to sites.
|
Give a name to this site.
|
Enter the host address provided by us:
|
Enter the UserID and Password provided by us:
|
|
|
In program options, you can select an HTML Editor in place of the default Notepad.
This can be Dreamweaver, or any editor.
|
Then go to Sites > Organise Sites:
|
And enter the location of your files on your hard disk - and the folder we advised for the website on the remote system.
|
After you click Connect you will see your hard disk on the left side and the remote system on the right side, with arrow pointing each way in the middle.
Highlight files on one side, then click an arrow to copy them to the other side. (Don't send the folder itself, just the files)
Try the buttons for each side. Selecting a file and clicking View will open that file in the editor of your choice.
Using an FTP program gives you full control on files making up your website and ensures that you don't load e.g. images too large in Kb for browsers to display.
