I have been asked to upload the index page for my website to the host server where will i find the index page as i did not put one in

If you have a website, you know that you can't set it up once and forget about it. Your website needs to reflect both your changing personal style and the changing demands of its environment. Depending on where your website is hosted, you can edit aspects of your website through a content management system or a WYSIWYG editor. If you are versed in Web-programming languages, you can edit the code of your site directly.

Understanding Content Management Systems If your website is content driven, it may be based in a CMS such as WordPress or Joomla. If you are unsure of this, ask the person who designed your website. To initiate changes to content on a CMS-based website, you log in to your site's administrative panel. The administrative panel offers buttons for various types of content management. After you log in, you can add, delete or edit posts and articles on your site. You can also use a CMS to change some of the other parameters of your site. For example, if your site uses WordPress, you can install a different theme to change the layout of the site, and you can install plugins to change some aspects of your site's functionality.

Changing the Content and Functionality of Your Website If you need to edit the structure or content of your website and your site does not use a CMS, you must edit the actual files on your site. Use caution if you are implementing HTML, PHP or JavaScript for the first time. If you are not confident in your Web-development skills, the changes you make directly to code could impair the functionality of your website. In such a case, a WYSIWYG editor can be useful. WYSIWYG editors display the changes to your website as you make them, and you drag elements around rather than alter the page code in a text editor.
Changing the Visual Style of Your Website Most of the visual flair of your website is contained in one or more Cascading Style Sheets files. These files tell the HTML of your site where to position certain elements, how to color the background and what font to use. By editing the CSS files, you change the stylistic aspects of a page. If you rename a CSS file, you must make sure that the applicable HTML files link to the renamed version of the file. This link is in the HTML document's
section. With a WYSIWYG editor, you can confidently make these changes if you are not comfortable making them to your site's code.

Uploading Files to Your Website After you make changes to your site's code, upload the files to your hosting server for the changes to take effect. If the changes are minor, you may want to download a copy of the file onto your local computer, edit that and then return it to the server. For example, if you want to change one line in your website's index.html file, download it from the server first to make sure that you are modifying the most current version of the file. After you make the changes, upload the file to the server, making sure to overwrite the old one. You accomplish these transfers using a File Transfer Protocol client. An FTP client connects your computer to a remote server for the exchange of files.

I see your question with the two URL'S Listed. I want to say that it appears that its looking to send out some type of mail, (maybe hidden admin link in blog code makes it appear this way) The reason I say this is because its just an extra tag, even if you delete from "msg=fail" it still pulls up correctly. I would check the coding on your pages to determine resolution.

For website creation & hosting use this site http://www.xnynz.com/ ..
I used this site for building the website & for doing hosting ..
Its very much useful for me ..

I had a similar experience. Perhaps this advice (from my Web Hosting provider thinkhost.com will help (However I was using FP 2003):

You can publish your web site from a copy on your own computer to your hosting account , or you can edit your web page directly on our server making the changes instantly available without having to publish.

To publish from your computer to our server:

* Open the copy of the web site you have on your computer

* Go to "File" then "Publish Web" on the FrontPage menu

* Type in the web address of your server based site http://www.fixya.com (whatever yours is ...)

* Click "Publish"


You will be then prompted for your hosting username and the password you assigned when installing Frontpage extensions.

To work on the live version of your site, open the web by going to File --> Open Web menu, and then typing in the web address for your site.

In this scenario, when you create or edit a file, you're editing it directly on the server, and therefore do not need to upload it, as it will already be there. Exercise caution, because if you make a mistake there really is no way to fix it, as the changes are instantly made on the server.

When using this method, we suggest you make a backup copy of your files in case a problem develops. Clients are responsible for maintaining their own backups.

Special note:

We strongly recommend not using FrontPage's FTP feature for uploading - all publishing should be via the http:// publishing option. The reason for this is that we've noticed many clients who are not familiar with the FrontPage FTP feature tend to accidentally delete critical folders or upload to the wrong folders. Using the http:// publishing option ensures that your site will be uploaded to the right folder in your account.

If you need to use FTP, we recommend using a dedicated FTP program - some of them are listed here.

I built my own website from this site http://www.tucktail.com/
It has the best features.
You too try this site and gain solutions.

Check with the hosting providers to see if the host server has undergone and maintenance, or has failed. If so, you will need to get them to fix it.
If the server has not failed, try uploading the who site using FTP again.
If this doesn't work, change hosts for the website.

u can upload the pages by useing ftp sevices

example use ftp://domain.com instead of http://domain.com
it can also shows in Internet explorer like a normal Folder view
in that u can copy paste the pages / folder in will easy manner
and also u can delete or edit an pages / folder drag and drop is also possible

use File zilla.exe , ftp commander.exe to get connection to the server of that ip address may also connect by url address

make sure you create a directory in your Public Html file and upload to that. Try Filezilla. Try to contact your provider.
