Help with setting up site

[graphicfizz]

I'm really new to this so I'd like some help with setting up my website. I'm using dreamweaver and it's asking for the following information:

FTP Host
Host Directory
URL prefix

my website is graphicfizz.com and I'm hosting it at godaddy.com. So what exactly do I type in for what it's asking me for?

Help would be appreciated!

URL Prefix is http

I dont kno abt the other two cuz I am not hosting that site.

You must ask yer Domain NAme provider for the other 2 information...!

 

[graphicfizz]

so where it says url prefix i just type in http?

And my domain name provider can't help me because I'm using dreamweaver. When I asked them they just said that they couldn't help me because they didn't know anything about dreamweaver. So if anyone is using godaddy as their domain name provider and is also using dreamweaver, I would very much like some help!

Thanks!

it makes no odds what program you use your host MUST give you these details otherwise you have no weay of uploading files.

ftp host will be the ip of the host (alot of the times it is just the domain name instead of an IP), you will also need the username and password.

Host directory will most likely be the path to where the files should be placed on the ftp site (ussually something like htdocs/ or www/)

Yeah, your host is retarded. How much are you paying? I could host you for cheap NP$ and get ya setup.

PM me,

You should type ftp:// as ur url perfix and ur ur wud be graphicfizz.com or url perfix ftp try both
i think you need it to upload ur Pages to ur Host

Please Pm me and tell me what u are asking so i can clarify for you.

Usually in DW they ask for FTP access to upload your files to your Server... If thats the case ftp:// is right.... if you choose some other options then tell me i'll tell you!

you've got such good inputs here.... think it's better to talk one on one with a designer to help you!

would you consider paying someone to do it and they setup your website? i would but don't have time right now.
