Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

[jdbellamy]

I am brand new, I just got my email from VodaHost, and this thing is overwhelming ! Where do I start?? I had already downloaded BlueVoda before joining VodaHost, do I need to uninstall it and re-install it?
I have a ton of questions, like FTP'ing , where, what, when ??
Help if you can.

First of all, you wont have to reinstall BV..............

You may have to wait for up to 72 hours before your domain has spread throughout the net, so in the meantime, look for the free video tutorials
and you will soon be able to answer the questions above.

Welcome to the voda family

have fun

How do I get the Publish in BV to work? I just tried it, and it will not.

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

In your welcome email, you will have been supplied a temp website address/url
Hit the publish icon (or file-publish)

in the dropdown box:

enter your temp server number (in your welcome email)
enter your username (in your welcome email)
enter your password (in your welcome email)

your first page to be published should be named

index

and nothing else.............

have fun

OK, got it ! I can get the index page to show up on the web, but the links do not work from that page. What did I do wrong??

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

I watched the creating hyperlinks, I have done exactly as it says, but the link from my index.html page will not work. Guess this is harder than I thought that it was going to be.

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

Check the video tutorial on hyperlinking and all will become clearer.

If not post here again...........

have fun

Hi JD

I'm anxious to see your creation!

Make sure that whatever you are linking to - that you have published that page, and that you are linking to it by it's name in the format like this

http://www.yourdomainname.com/nameofpage.html

All things need to be the same.

Change the items in red to your real names ....

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

Good advise, now why didnt I remember that link !!!!!!!!!!!!

[jdbellamy]

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

I read this last night....I am usually pretty good with html, but I cant figure out why the links do not work.

To Ladyeye Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

I have done exactly as you stated, before you even told me, but the links do not work. Do you think it is because they gave me a temporary website url ??

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

JD what is the url of your site? Let us have a look and maybe we can figure it out.

[jdbellamy]

Re: Brand New to VodaHost HELP!!

Here is the temp url that they gave me: http://75.126.169.140/~hxdxtkij/
