Firstly: underdog.x10.mx is my URL. I don't actually have anything there right now, except maybe some random HTML named Viruses or something that I made fir fun once... It's not a real virus site, don't worry... Haha.
Anyway, I'm a newbie with a few questions. I chose this service because it was the only FREE service I could find that didn't limit the amount of pages I could have. It's useful to have an editor, but it's not worth having your pages limited as much as they do... Anyway, since I'm not an HTML expert (I know enough to actually build the site, don't worry), I have some easy questions. I searched around a bit in the knowledge base and around the forum, but I turned up nothing but how to upload files, which I can do. Problem is, I don't know what URL the actual file is stored on......
For instance, I have a script that accesses a certain file stored on my website and then plays it as a Java applet. I didn't make said code, I'm not that experienced. Anyway, it would be as simple as replacing the stand-in URL with the one that actually points to the file, but I can't find where it is to begin with!
Don't know a thing about FTP, don't care to try it (unless it can tell me exactly where it uploaded to...). I use cPanel's File Manager. In case it makes a difference, I'm on the "boru" server. So yeah, there's that.
Also, I'm having trouble figuring out how to edit the actual home page of the site... When I type in underdog.x10.mx, I get some kind of page that says CGI or something, and then there are links to random things and a link to that one file I have in the Public HTML folder. How do I get my webpage to appear when I type in the address? Or at least get that page to redirect it to /index?
Uum, I think that's all I needed to ask for now. Meanwhile, I a total newb to this stuff, so if you start referencing things like "MySQL", "PHP" or other random initials, you will lose me from the word go. If you must say things about that, be prepared to let me know of a tutorial for it, because I don't know that first thing about that kinda stuff. I'm a super-n00b when it comes to websites and coding and stuff. I'm a nerd, but I'm not ready to lose my social life. XD Haha.
