Hi all, I have a domain account with Godaddy and it turns out i also have some free hosting space they gave me when I got the domain.

Thinking of upgrading to a paid hosting but want to make sure I can work out what I'm doing, not having much luck so far.

I have tried uploading a "site" but cant get it to show online correctly

If I click on the index.html file in the site folder on my PC it opens and works fine in a browser, but uploaded I cant get it to function
Have moved the index.html file to the root of the godaddy page but then it doesnt see the css files.

looked online but still getting nowhere

anybody able to tell me what files should go where on that site ?

here is a link to what shows in the godaddy upload page, on the left is the godaddy root folder showing the site folder "liquid-gem" and on the right is the actual site folder tree
Thanks if you can help

Check your paths in the code for the links

what ftp are you using ?
Question Author
thanks for replys

something i forgot to mention was that this a free downloaded responsive site template and as I said in my original post if i open the index.html file from the folder on my PC the site opens and works perfectly in a browser, only changes I've made so far are just text and changed some graphics files but made no changes to any links or code

and as far as i can see there are no links to any external files in the folder

which links specifically should I check and what do ineed to check for ?

to upload, ive used the godaddy upload facility via chrome , so no dedicated ftp as such

thanks, much appreciated
Check your code - if you see it mentioning a drive letter in the path for any image or link, then you need to change that

eg. you might see something like

img src=c:/logo/logo.jpg

(NB. I've not coded the above line correctly to avoid AB converting it to a link)

On the site it should be

img src=../logo/logo.jpg


The double dots tell the browser that the file is in the directory logo which is one level dow from the top of the site.
PS. again not coded correctly to avoid this site changing it
