Why Isn’t My Website Showing Up After I Transferred My Files To The Ftp Server?

I exported it from Publisher and followed all instructions but it is still not showing up. My host is GoDaddy.com. Thanks!

Sounds like a structure problem. A web browser will look for a “index” page first. Most sites have a beginning page named index.htm or .php or what ever the extention.
Make sure the pages are loaded to the root (top) folder of the site. If you have them packaged in a sub folder you will need to redirect to that folder there are many ways to do this one way is using a .htaccess redirect. This link would explain that..http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htacc…
I use godady for several sites I host and have never had a problem.
after checking structure I would check with host to see what else could have gone wrong

They might have gone to the wrong files at the hosting co! Try the FTP transfer again and make sure the destination file is the file you want displayed online! I used to have problems with this, takes practice.

Datacentre, is that you? I don’t know what happened but I keep getting an IPS SERVER error notice. Contact your host to find out what’s going on. I hope we don’t have to re-register again !

Not much information to go by here, so you would probably want to contact your hosting company. If you uploaded a index.htm or index.html file, you should be getting somewhere.
