You might be able to skip these steps if your web hosting company handles this process for you. Some registrars also
provide hosting services and will attempt to sell you a plan. Keep in mind that you are not obligated to host your site
with the same registrar that you used to register it.
2.30 PUBLISHING YOUR WEBSITE
The final step in the web design process is to publish your pages. A web server is required to publish your pages on
the Internet. Web servers, also known as hosts, allow you to send and store items such as HTML texts, photos, and
multimedia files. You must find a server to host your pages unless you have your own web server.
Some examples of webhost also called Domain Space Providers, are as follows:
Ð Ðhttp://www.godaddy.com/
Ð Ðhttp://www.hostgator.in
Ð Ðhttp://www.bluehost.com
However, there are many more. Make sure you choose a webhost that supports FTP, as this makes publishing your
pages from web builder much easier. The steps of publishing your website are as follows:
ÐPage to be published
Ð
You can choose which pages to publish in this area of the publish window.
Ð ÐComplete Website
Publishes all pages on the website (excluding those for which the ‘Don't publish this page’ option has been activated
in the page properties).
Ð ÐSelect a single page
Publish the selected page; pick the page to be published by clicking ‘Select’. You can also choose a folder.
Ð ÐChoose a page and its subpages
Publish the chosen page, as well as all of its subpages (if any). The ‘FILES’ option determines which files will be made
public.
Ð ÐPublish all of your files
The selected page(s) will have all of their files published.
Ð ÐOnly publish HTML files
If you don't wish to upload any images or other components, use this option with the HTML document.
ÐOnly publish files that have changed
Ð
If you wish to publish the files that have changed since the previous time you published them, choose this option.
In case you get any publishing error(s), check the following:
ÐMake sure your FTP address (host), username, and password are correct.
Ð
Ð ÐTo check the given data, use the ‘Test connection’ command.
Ð ÐVerify that the remote folder is right! This value can be found in your host’s documentation. To browse to a remote
folder, use the ‘Explore’ button. If the pages do not appear, the remote folder is incorrect.
Ð ÐIs WYSIWYG Web Builder's FTP connection being blocked by your firewall?
РБUse passive mode for transfers’ should be enabled.
Ð ÐIf the transfer takes a long time, it’s likely that you utilised really huge photographs.
Ð ÐIncrease the connection timeout to at least 120 seconds (Menu→Options→publish).
Ð ÐIf your website appears to be out of date, select 'Refresh' on your browser several times!
