When hosting a website it is IMPORTANT that your 1st file be called "index.htm". The reason for this is because our servers are set up to look for this file by default upon your site being requested.

An example of this is as follows:

A visitor to your site enters the URL thepointfx.com/jeff the server automaticly looks for the index.htm file. If the server finds it, it will load the page to your browser. You should set your site up the same way.

You can then link to whatever pages exist in your web from this index page and the only URL you'd have to give someone is the easy to remember thepointfx.com/yourpath address.

If you use another name for the file the user has to type in your URL along with the file name. (EX: thepointfx.com/jeff/jeffsite.htm

It is not required for you to save HTML documents as .HTML files, instead, you can save them with a 3 letter extension such as: .HTM, this shortens the name users have to type to get to your site. All web browsers treat .HTM files the same as .HTML files.

If you have different segments of your site which vary in content or subject, it is a good idea to logically organize these into different folders in your web space. For example, if you have pages in your site that deal with Technology as the content, create a "technology" folder in your web space and save the relevant pages and files in that folder and link them to your index page.
