Publishing to the Web
You
are now ready to publish your web site to the internet. When
Publishing to the web on Protocol One's Servers, you need
to upload everything into the web folder. In the web folder,
there will be a default index.html web page that you will
need to delete to make sure you will be able to view your
information. After doing this, there should not be any more
bumps in publishing. Have fun creating your web site.
