Before you upload your website, you will need to locate your FTP details. Click here for instructions.
You can upload your site via one of the following methods.
- FTP client
There are many available on the market, click here for some examples. Please note that we are unable to provide support for all FTP clients. We will provide limited support for our recommended FTP clients, FileZilla (Windows) and Cyberduck (Mac). Your web development program, such as Dreamweaver, may include an FTP client.
You will need the following information to connect to your site via an FTP client.
- Your host name. The IP address of your server.
- Your username. This will be in the form w00000000 or f000000.
- Your password. Also stored in the same section as your FTP username.

Protect your web presence:
Have you considered registering your .com, .com.au, .net.au, .co.nz variants of your domain? The deciding factor usually depends on how serious you are about Protecting Your Online Value. Ask yourself whether it would disturb you if a competitor registered these domains? Our easy to use and reliable Web and Email Forwarding services allow you to point as many domains as you want to your website.
Web with benefits:
Another benefit of registering multiple domains is the greater probability of being located on Search Engine listings. An interesting fact is that many Search Engines now feature region specific searches. You can perform a generic search, or you can select the 'Search Australia Only' option.
How the search works is simple; an 'Australian Only' search may prioritise addresses that end in '.au'; a 'New Zealand Only' search may prioritise addresses that end in '.nz'. To guarantee your website is listed and accessed by both regions you will need to have both domain names registered.
In contrast to the above, neither the '.au' nor the '.nz' domains will stand a chance of competing against the '.com', or rather the TLD name space, if someone submits a generic search with no regions specified.
If you currently conduct business in other countries, or one day plan to expand then we recommend securing your country specific domains now. |
