FAQ 1. Hosting issues What is Web hosting? Your site cannot be viewed by Internet users before uploading (publishing), in other words, copying the files of the site (including pages, pictures and so on) from your local workplace to the online server of your hosting services provider. After that anyone will be able to access your website by typing an address of your website, (also called domain name ) into the address bar of the Internet browser. You should therefore establish a hosting account and get a domain name. How to set up a hosting account? Hosting account may be established and run for free. In this case the provider's ads may be placed on your website to cover the costs of hosting. There can be other disadvantages. But there are some free website hosts that provide free bannerless hosting under certain conditions, such as www.coolpage.biz or www.orgfree.com . After setting up an account you will also receive a name of your website (like www.mysite.coolpage.biz ). This is your domain name or address of your website on the Internet. Athough free hosting service is suitable for creating your first website, you may find necessary to set up a professional paid hosting. You may also need a second-level domain name (like www.cuzya.com ), which can be purchased from a domain registrator or in a package with hosting. To upload your website with CuzYa, the support of active FTP is a required feature for both free and paid hosting. What if I still don't have a hosting account? Before you have your own hosting set up, CuzYa offers some opportunities to test your website in action not only locally, but also on the Internet. You can upload your website to www.test.cuzya.com , www.cuzya.orgfree.com or www.cuzya.coolpage.biz . Please keep in mind that these hosting accounts are provided for a free common access to any user of CuzYa and are not your property of any kind. To publish your website you should complete following steps: Step 1: Launch CuzYa and go to Upload tab Step 2: Specify FTP parameters. By default the following parameters are prefilled -Web Address: www.test.cuzya.com
If you have any problems with default test parameters, you can use the following test hosting accounts: -Web Address: www.cuzya.orgfree.com
-Web Address: www.cuzya.coolpage.biz
Step 3: Publish your website by pressing Upload button and test how it works! I have my hosting and domain name set up, what now? The company that you choose as your hosting services provider will give you a user ID (login) and password, as well as a certain amount of space on their server to store the files of your website. Please keep in mind the requirement of active FTP support. The domain name may be included into a package with hosting services, otherwise you can get it from a domain registrator. The three steps necessary to publish your website are: Step 1: Launch CuzYa and go to Upload tab Step 2: Specify FTP parameters -Web Address: your domain name obtained from the domain registrator Step 3: Publish your website by pressing Upload button!
