Hi
I'm not seeing the control panel I need to upload my webpage.
I've got the Sub menu>> Site manager] Database etc but can't get into anything that's prompting me to browse my files.
Any ideas ?
Many thanks

The reason you are not able to upload your website is because you only purchased a domain name and did not sign up for a hosting account. To setup a hosting account go to...

http://www.supanethosting.com/hosting/

... select the package you want then signup using the domain you purchased. Once this is done you will have access to the ftp client enabling you to upload your website. To upload files see below:

Site Manager -> Click here to manage your files (opens new file manager window)-> Upload file (in new window)

Then simply browse for the files you wish to upload.

If you want to upload multiple files simultaneously, FTP clients can be freely downloaded from such sites as http://www.download.com.

To connect using a 3rd party ftp client use...

Address: ftp.yourdomain.com
User: ftpaccountuserrname@yourdomain.com

You are seeing the holding page when you try and view your domain as you have not uploaded your files yet. Once uploaded you will see you webiste. To upload files......

Site Manager -> Click here to manage your files (opens new file manager window)-> Upload file (option located in the left hand menu in the new window)

Then simply browse for the files you wish to upload.

If you want to upload multiple files simultaneously, FTP clients can be freely downloaded from such sites as http://www.download.com.
