- What FTP host name do I use to access my website?
Host Name : yourdomain.com
Login Name: First 12 characters of your domain name without the suffix (.com)
(Remote) Directory: /web
To update your web pages, FTP to ftp.yourdomain.com using your Login Name and Password. Prior to domain registration (or transfer) you can use the IP address assigned by aNet as the FTP hostname. If you create any links using the IP address, we suggest that you modify the HTML to reflect your domain name once active.
Using relative paths (graphics/logo.gif) rather than absolute paths (http://anet.net/graphics/logo.gif) when linking web pages eliminates the need to modify your links.
