I need quick advice help where to upload the 2nd page in the server in the Cpanel

[gobear]

Hi there

I am quite a newbie for HTML stuffs so I need some advice and instruction please

I use Hostgator and basically, I have designed 2 pages of mini website ready to upload to the the server. I have already done so for the HOMEPAGE as I know, to upload it, I would need to go to FILE MANAGER, then UPLOAD and then name the file as "index.html" homepage. And done...

Now my next question is.......becasue I have created 2 pages, for the next page where on my homepage, it will have on "click on next page" icon, where do I upload the second page under in the server? If you can instruct me in the way like first, go to File Manager------->Public HTML----------> etc

I dunno what to do as well as what to name as for 2nd page in the website

Anyone could advise me would be greatly appreciated please

Hello Gobear, Ill gladly advise you.

The public_html directory is simply said the hidden directory behind your url. Meaning you can find your files by typing http://www.yoururl.com/index.html

If you want more then 1 file in a directory and want to create a big website you can name the website for exampel faq.html You need to make a hyperlink from the index page to the second page and that will link them togheter.

I shall show you on my site
http://www.animeresource.org/index.html
http://www.animeresource.org/forum.html

See all in the same directory all you need is a difrent name for the file itself and link them togheter true a hyperlink

Hope it helps.

Hi Special (you are special ^^)

First of all, thank you for your response as I really appreciate that

I am aware of that ^^ but my question really was....where do you put the "www.mysite.com/forum.html" or the 'forum' file name template that I made in which folder? Is it the same location as where I put under the "index" section i.e. under Create New File?

Just to make it easier, I have screenshot my Cpanel.

You will see one is in index.html (which is obviously the homepage), hostgator.html etc so I wanna know if I made 2nd page called "FAQ", it will be called http://www.yoururl.com/faq.html but just not sure where I should upload it at. I also see there is like 12 "Browse" section under Upload and I wonder why there are so many of them and what's the use for?

And also in the typical website we always, we often see on the top or on the left hand side, where it has like an icon to click on such as "FAQ", "Contact", "Home" etc. Where do put those links under in as well?

Sorry I hope I have not confused you and your final answer will be appreciated as I don't want to ask many questions and disturb your precious time

Thank you once again =)

If you open the index file in a text editor like notepad you see a line of codes if you add this code:

<p><a href="index.html">Index</a></p>
<p><a href="faq.html">Faq</a></p>
<p><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></p>
<p><a href="forum.html">Forum</a></p>

In that part and save it, it will display some links to files if you wanna change the names of the links change the part between >here< if you wanna link it to a difrent file change the "stuffhere"

Hope that makes it clear. About the directory your doing fine you can yust upload files there aslong as they dont have the same name they go fine togheter I think that is what you ment lol.

Anyway hope it helps, and sry its yust links not a fancy menu or something but if you want those I can get those to keep in mind code will be a little more dificult tho.

Oh, thanks, I appreciate it but I dun wanna trouble you and dun wanna get that far though. I am still in the process of learning so I will have a fiddle around with it

Thanks once again, you are a nice bloke mate =)
