How do you ‘upload’ a website that you’ve made in dreamweaver to an online webhost?

Posted on February 28th, 2010 by admin

I have dreamweaver MX 2004 and im unsure of how i publish my website to the internet if im using a free webhost online as the URL

Well…you could host it yourself using a webserver such as apache or you could pay to get it hosted or you could use a free hoster such as 000webhost.com Now after you get it hosted you will need to register a domain name that resolves to your web site. Hope i helped

ooh also 000webhost can provide a free domain name for you.

I myself hosted my own webserver and got a free domain name on no-ip.com, if you have a dynamic ip (changes sometimes) their client is very helpful as it will monitor ip change and update the domain name to resolve to the ip.

Keep in mind if you host your own you will need a broadband connection and you will need to have the server running at all times.

    It really depends on the host. Some hosts allow you to have FTP access into your site, some make you upload them via a webpage upload button. You may have to visit your hosts support page to find out.

    More than likely you can upload via FTP. What you will need is a FTP user name and password ( these are given to you by the host). Dreamweaver has a built-in FTP program you can use or you can download a stand-alone FTP program.

    Once you figure out how your host upload files, upload you html files into the root of the server, making sure your main page is index.html
