Uploading Web Pages Banner

 

   Now that you've made a Web page using Netscape Composer, you are ready to upload, or publish, it to the Internet. When you upload Web pages, you are transferring copies of your Web pages to a large computer known as a server. Once on a server, your files can be accessed from anywhere in the world as long as someone has a computer and an Internet connection. You already know that Composer can be used to create Web pages, but did you know that it also can be used to upload your Web pages? Uploading your Web pages you've composed on your hard drive to the Internet varies depending on your Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISPs, such as Earthlink, AOL, and Pacific Bell, usually provide you with a set amount of Web space for your personal home pages. How much Web space you're allotted depends on your ISP. Generally, 3 to 6 MB (megabytes) of Web space is the norm. There are also many free Web hosts out in the World Wide Web offering free unlimited Web space!
