Assuming you already have a designed website, you are now almost ready to take it live. Prior to uploading your site to the web, make sure you thoroughly test your website locally, and check for the following:

All the folders within your site are all in either lower case or upper case throughout the entire site and these folders are referenced by their proper case in all instances (i.e. if you have an "images" folder, don't refer to it as "Images" in any of your pages or scripts. Helping Host servers are case sensitive, and will not display a page unless the exact folder and file name is provided.

The File Names or Folder Names do NOT contain any spaces, some Web Browsers have problems with that.

All your entry (default) pages in each folder are named properly. Default entry pages can be called: "index.htm, index.shtml, index.html, index.php, index.php3, index.php3", any other name will not be recognized by our servers. The default page is the first page users see if they access your domain name or any of the folders within your domain (i.e. name.com/folder/).
