Probably very noobisch(and simple to solve) problem...

[roekoeboe]

ok i just learned these languages like html, Css, i know javascript.. tho i suck at php -.- but thats not why i'm here.

the point is that i made a site in html with a lot of stuff on it, even some flash... but then a problem came, how do i put this online using x10hosting.

i'm really new to x10hosting or any hosting and i never did this before. i just dumped the files in the directory and hoped that they would work together as a website, but they won't. do i have to put a script in my site or something? to put it online as homepage second page etc? or?

please help!

thanks in advance guys!
(btw i don't know if this is the good section to post this question but i just think this would fit here.)
Edit:
Could somebody please answer my question? because i put the .html file in the file directory or something and it won't show up as my site? please help! i really need a answer quick!

If you put files in the directory public_html, they will show up on your domain/subdomain.
Example: I have the file blah.html and want to have it up at http://mysite.x10hosting.com/
Assuming my main domain is mysite.x10hosting.com, I can upload the file in the public_html folder, and it will be visible at
http://mysite.x10hosting.com/blah.html

To upload files to your website, you can use cpanel, which is located at
http://yoursite.x10hosting.com/cpanel
And then use the file manager to upload files into your public_html directory.

You can also use FTP, which tends to be faster and easier, but you need a FTP program. I like filezilla, which is free. You then can configure this to use your x10 FTP account (in fact, i think cpanel can do that for you). You can then use filezilla to directly transfer your files to the server, which tends to be fater than cpanel.

so if i were to put my page 1 named for example "home" in the public_html i could watch this page at signbrother.exofire/home?
... so what do i do with the background pictures/flash files.. and CSS . do i put them in public_html as wel?

(and this works with php files as wel right?)

yes that is correct
and also you should name your first home page, index.html/php since apache goes to index.* or you could use .htaccess to tell it to home.html/php but that is more work

uhm.. for some reason i have no idea what apache is... i have it installed tho :S

anyway, so if i call my homepage index.html/php , if people go to bla.domain.com do they auto get redirected to bla.domain.com/index.html?

yes if you don't specify anything else in the .htaccess by:

DirectoryIndex index.html

Apache is the webserver

uhm. -.- for some reason after putting my site in the public_html and re-naming it index.html if i go to signbrothers.elementfx.com/index.html it says the page doesnt exist.... ?

Make sure whenever you reference a page or object, it links to the new directory rather than an old one.
