[scummerz]

how do i get a search engine powered by google?
can i create custom error pages?
what are the top level directories for? (public_html i understand)
if i wanted to not use frames, can i make a table with no thickness border and have my site in a table or do i use margins or padding or alignment?

1. Yes. Java Applets are allowed.
2. You can get Google Custom Search Engine from http://www.google.com/coop/cse/
3. No. X10Hosting doesn't allow Free Hosting members to have Custom Error Pages.
4. Most of the top-level directories in your Home Directory is used for Internal Account Management purposes (You can explore all those features from your cPanel). public_html and public_ftp is explained by their names itself.
5. I'm not getting your fifth question clearly. Please come again.

what did u say?
with no.4, i was talking more about the others and by that i mean other directories and files as well.
with number 5, i'm trying to think as how the web browser thinks and i'm rtying to understand how to make vertical menus without frames, i said what about using tables or the css padding and margin properties or alignment

4. You may not see all the files/directories listed. I have referred from my account and explaining you which item is related to which feature (I don't know everything. I just tell what I know).
.cpanel - cPanel related Info
.fantasticodata - Fantastico Deluxe Related Info
.gnupg - Security Signature related
.htpasswds - Stores .htpasswd files for Password Protecting Directories
.spamassasin - Name tells all
.sqmaildata - Squirrel mail related data
.ssh - SSH Signatures / Keys
logs - Self explanatory name
mail - Mail account(s) data
tmp - I saw stats data inside this directory. Don't know the exact use of this.


5. CSS is the best way to design pages. So, prefer CSS over Frames and tables.

*Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

As you have specified, CSS is used for formatting. But, you can use for it positioning too. Refer W3Schools for basics in CSS.

It seems that scummerz.com is not hosted by X10Hosting!
