Now What?
I see absolutely no instructions on to to upload my website to your servers. Also when I click on the "hosting" tab I get an unsecure site message. How do i proceed?

The "Unsecure Site" warning is in the process of being fixed. Until then, ignore the warning, accept the certificate, or use the non-SSL link http://richardvandyk.x10.bz:2082

As for creating your site, check out the wiki: http://x10hosting.com/wiki/Main_Page

Upload files to your public_html folder and they are viewable on the internet. Use CPanel->Softaculous to install some software very quickly and easily. Any further questions, post back here. Welcome to X10!

Thanks. Does this site accept Front Page extensions?

 

[carl6969]

Sorry, but Front Page extensions do not work with the current server configurations.

No, I believe Front Page extensions were disabled some time ago.

 

[richfltx46]

OK, thanks. There are old websites out there that list hosting websites such as this one as supporting Front Page but I guess they are outdated because it seems no one any longer supports FrontPage. I have to bite the bullet and convert my old website I suppose.

 

[stpvoice]

As you say it is becoming outdated. It won't be a loss for you to get with the times.

Frontpage websites have a distinct 90's feeling to them with all the graphics it generates. Try something like Joomla! or Drupal. They have a ton of really great themes that are ready to go, they just need you to insert your text. In fact, they can be installed in about 2 minutes if you use Cpanel -> Softatculous

Could also try Wordpress, or just search for "Free CMS" online - there's a TON of different core softwares out there that can make rapid-publishing easier

 

[garrettroyce]

Could also try Wordpress

There have been a lot of complaints lately about Wordpress and HRU suspensions. So I didn't mention it

 

[Livewire]

Depends on the viewer count I think; Wordpress stock seems to be okay on average sites, there's a TON of crappy coded plugins on it though.

It's still worth trying but then if it HRU's, unsuspend, erase via FTP
