Just remember there is no C drive on the internet you need to change all your links on your page and also hotlinking to other sites images (.ico etc) is bad form

Depending on your ftp program, most just give two panels - left your computer files and right the web host files that have been uploaded. To upload just select the files you want to transfer from the left and click what ever button your program using whether it be an arrow, an upload or other.

The default page is usually the index.html (or .htm or index.php etc on server side files), but there are other default pages hosts set up such as homepage, home, default etc, what you are seeing is this default page.

Make a page in notepad - copy this:

this IS the index

This is the main entry page now.

now save that as index.html and upload to your server with your ftp program.
Once uploaded go to your web site (planetgta.co.nz) and you should see it there, don't type in index.html

The reason you are seeing the forbidden page is because you have removed the default page, if you don't want to make the test page I've given above just rename the homepage1.htm to index.htm

thanks could you explain this

123.co.nz was just an example website I dont have the website online yet could you possibly
Explain to me what the index is all about as I don’t have a clue what it is or what it does
And if it has anything to do with the homepage file at all as im confused on this index thing
My real homepage is planetgta.co.nz but when I go to it it says that access to the server
is forbidden when I type in planetgta.co.nz /homepage.htm it opens up could you explain
In detail how you would upload your homepage using a ftp program I should also add that all
Pages on my website were created using notepad as my html editor

Just tried your homepage and it seems fine to me.
Not sure what your problem is.

you mean you upload index and homepage1 comes coming up?

after uploading go to your domain 123.co.nz and press f5 - will refresh the server cache

thanks for that cheers
