To upload your files with FTP you will need an FTP client.
Upon connecting, you will see a list of the following directories:

/www - This is where your site files will go <--- IMPORTANT
/public_html - same as the www folder

/tmp - This directory holds your access log files 
/mail - Mail area for your domain (no need to touch this!) 
/public_ftp - Files for your anonymous FTP 

To upload your files to the server double click on the "www" 
folder.  Place your website files here. 

--------------------------------------------------------------
Your Domain Name
=========================================

Whether you are transferring your domain or applying for a new
one, there will be a time lag between when you open your account,
and when the domain name is working.  Please allow 48 hours
before taking further action. 

If you are registering a foreign domain name you will need to
handle the registration process.  Our name server information is
as follows:

Primary IP: _________
Primary Hostname: NS.

Secondary Hostname: NS2.

For instructions on transferring your domain, please view:

utility allows you to manage your account through your web
