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/).
