    Probably very noobisch(and simple to solve) problem...

    ok i just learned these languages like html, Css, i know javascript.. tho i suck at php -.- but thats not why i'm here.

    the point is that i made a site in html with a lot of stuff on it, even some flash... but then a problem came, how do i put this online using x10hosting.

    i'm really new to x10hosting or any hosting and i never did this before. i just dumped the files in the directory and hoped that they would work together as a website, but they won't. do i have to put a script in my site or something? to put it online as homepage second page etc? or?

    please help!

    thanks in advance guys!
    (btw i don't know if this is the good section to post this question but i just think this would fit here.)
    Edit:
    Could somebody please answer my question? because i put the .html file in the file directory or something and it won't show up as my site? please help! i really need a answer quick!

    If you put files in the directory public_html, they will show up on your domain/subdomain.
    Example: I have the file blah.html and want to have it up at http://mysite.x10hosting.com/
    Assuming my main domain is mysite.x10hosting.com, I can upload the file in the public_html folder, and it will be visible at
    http://mysite.x10hosting.com/blah.html

    To upload files to your website, you can use cpanel, which is located at
    http://yoursite.x10hosting.com/cpanel
    And then use the file manager to upload files into your public_html directory.

    You can also use FTP, which tends to be faster and easier, but you need a FTP program. I like filezilla, which is free. You then can configure this to use your x10 FTP account (in fact, i think cpanel can do that for you). You can then use filezilla to directly transfer your files to the server, which tends to be fater than cpanel.

    so if i were to put my page 1 named for example "home" in the public_html i could watch this page at signbrother.exofire/home?
    ... so what do i do with the background pictures/flash files.. and CSS . do i put them in public_html as wel?

    (and this works with php files as wel right?)

    yes that is correct
    and also you should name your first home page, index.html/php since apache goes to index.* or you could use .htaccess to tell it to home.html/php but that is more work

    uhm.. for some reason i have no idea what apache is... i have it installed tho :S

    anyway, so if i call my homepage index.html/php , if people go to bla.domain.com do they auto get redirected to bla.domain.com/index.html?

    yes if you don't specify anything else in the .htaccess by:

    Code:
    DirectoryIndex index.html
    Apache is the webserver

    Make sure whenever you reference a page or object, it links to the new directory rather than an old one.
