    Need Help getting started.

    I just recently sighned up for a free account here on x10. I want to build a site but I need help. Eveytime I try to go to my url (prodisposal.x10.bz) it keeps giving me a page that says this:
    Index of /
    cgi-bin/

    What do I need to do to correct this and get my website started? Thank you in advance for all of your time.

    Hi there,

    Welcome to x10.
    You need to upload files to your public_html directory, either via the cPanel file manager, or FTP. Please see: http://x10hosting.com/wiki/How_to_Up...o_Your_Website

    Thanks

    I see the file manager but what do I need to upload there? Im sorry if this seems like a dumb question but ive never done this before lol. I figured that there was like a sitebuilder or something that I could use.

    Hello again,

    Once you've clicked the file manager button, select the option to navigate to your web root.



    Then, make sure public_html is in the box I've circled in the below image, and then click the upload button, select your files, and off you go!

    You'll need to create a site first using SiteReptile. It will ask you a bunch of questions and then generate the site. From then on you can access it at yoursite.com/admin

    Don't worry about the questions. That's what we're here for. The only one we don't like to hear is "I broke the rules, but can I have my site back?" :D
