How do I get my site live

[Simpson28]

Hello and help
I have built my pages and have published them(, I have a old web site at Guard a Card.com that I don't want to keep. I have transfered my domain and recieved confirmation from both companies. I have several questions: Where did I publish my pages to? one of the pages was saved with an incorrect name and how do I unpublish and correct the error?
How do I get my site live, I go to guardacard.com and my old site is still there?
Thanks
Dale

First off it takes about 72 hrs for a transfer to take effect.
To correct the mis spelled url open your file at the top left hand side of your voda site building program and rename the page url by clicking on an open area on that page and opening the properties box. You can rename it in the file also by right clicking and useing the rename feature if you need to correct the file name.(the name of the page that apperars in the grey tabs at the top of the page.

Re: How do I get my site live

Hi. When you 'save' a page, (the first page is always index), it is
saved locally on your computer. You can always rename and edit pages
from the files on the computer. To make a change after publishing, just
re-publish with the new information and it will either overwrite the old
page on the server, or it will create a new file. If you publish a page as
index and made a mistake, just correct the mistake and re-publish. It will
overwrite the old index. When you 'publish', it is published,
or transferred to the server. You willl need to know the details
of logging in to your server as defined in your email from Voda Host.
There are many tutorials, such as:

Hope that will help.

Re: How do I get my site live

Thank you both for the help, so am I to understand that all I have to do is wait and at some time in the near future my old web site will disappear and the new one will appear? Also once my site is up and running do I make changes to my pages just like I did building the site then just republish?
Thanks

I have received everything else from them but not a welcome letter, is there other information I will require in that letter and also to ask this one again, am I to understand that all I have to do is wait and at some time in the near future my old web site will disappear and the new one will appear? Also once my site is up and running do I make changes to my pages just like I did building the site then just republish?

Yes. Add a picture, text and just publish, the change happens in real time from just publishing the page.

Re: How do I get my site live

1) We have upadate your name servers, please allow 24 hours for them to propogate.
2) In post #1 you claim you published, in post #5 you claim you have not received your welcome letter.

You would not be able to publish unless you received your welcome letter
with your usernames and passwords. Did you receive it or not? If you did not,
how did you publish?...Where did you get the publishing details?

If you did not receive it or misplaced it we would be happy to resend it.
