The following information is for customers who have a
personal or business Web site hosted by MaxInterNet. You can find more information
about our Web site design and hosting services at Web
Publishing.
| FrontPage Users: If you are using Microsoft FrontPage to design
your Web site you do not
need an ftp program or account to access and edit your Web site. 1. You can access your site through FrontPage by selecting Open
FrontPage Web --> the Web Server should say maxweb.maxinter.net--> then List
Webs. Use your normal username and password if prompted. You will then see a few
directories and files listed.
2. You can now edit, delete, or add any pages or files that
you want using FrontPage.
3. When you have finished creating or editing your site,
you can "publish" it to your Web space by going to File --> Publish FrontPage
Web. You may be prompted the first time for the location of your Web. You should type in
the URL of your site. (ex. - http://www.maxinter.net/~(username) You may then be prompted
for a username and password, use your normal username and password. It may take a few
minutes to copy the files.
This function of FrontPage removes the need to use an ftp
program to upload files to your site (assuming you continue to use FrontPage). If you
start using another HTML program, you will need an ftp program and ftp access (which we
can provide when/if you need it) we do not automatically assign an ftp account to
FrontPage users for the reason described above. |
For those WITHOUT a domain name
1. Your Web
site address is www.maxinternet.net/~<username>
<username> is your
logon name
~ the tilde character can be found next to the
number 1 on your keyboard
2. Your ftp access (for non-FrontPage users) is:
| host
name |
maxweb.maxinter.net |
| account |
<ftp account name>
(this is generally your username) |

(use your normal password) |
3. For
those with 5 MB of space or more, you will have CGI access and FrontPage
extensions installed.
By default, if you have
purchased a Web site from us, you will have ftp
access.
