Mounting Your Home Page on an Internet Server

	When you have finished this project, you will be able to:
	set up a Web server account
	upload your Web site to a Web server
	describe the following terms: Web server host

1. Before you can mount your web pages on an Internet server, you need to have a set of home pages that are complete and that work properly.
   
   
2. Make sure that all of the file names specified in your HTML page and the files names are exactly the same - the names should all be lower case.
   
   
3. Choose one of your previous home pages (or create a new one) that demonstrates your understanding of basic HTML programming.
   
   
4. Test your home page to ensure that it works.
   
   
5. Go to one of the following web site and open an account (note: you may choose other hosting sites as long as they do not violate our Acceptable Use Policy):

   
   Geocities Web Page Hosting
   http://www.geocities.com

   
   Tripod
   http://www.tripod.com

   
   Xoom
   http://www.xoom.com

   
   RoachHost
   http://www.roachhrost.com

6. Once you have read the instructions at the hosting site, upload your web pages.
   
   
7. Note that, in general, each of the Web hosting services requires file names to be all small letters. Before uploading your files, change all file names so that they only contain small letters. In addition, ensure that any files referred to in your html pages use only small letters. If you are not careful about this, then you will find that your Web pages will not work properly after they are uploaded.
   
   
8. Test your entire home page on your host.
