Free Web Space

With any of our dial up or DSL Internet access plans you get 10 MB of free web space.  Below are directions for using that space:

Create your Website
Websites are created using a computer language called HTML.  HTML is fairly easy to learn.  You can find a great tutorial at http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/teachingtool/html.html.  

If you don't want to take time to learn HTML, you can use an HTML editor.  For a list of free HTML editors visit http://www.thefreecountry.com/webmaster/htmleditors.shtml.  

You can also use Microsoft Word as a HTML editor.  Just create a document like normal and when you go to save it, select "Web Page" as the file type.

Upload your website
You can upload your website to our servers using an FTP program.  You can purchase an FTP program such as FTP commander (http://www.vista.ru/2inter.htm) or you can use the FTP utility built into Windows XP and Windows 2000.  If you have WinXP or 2000, use Internet explorer to open the ftp site.

The FTP site you will access will be:

ftp://boise.quik.com/

Use the following username and password:

Username: your username for your primary account, for example scottgal
Password: the password for your primary account

Upload your files into the root directory.  This means just put your files right in the main folder.  

Access your site
To view your site, visit http://boise.quik.com/username

For example look at http://boise.quik.com/scottgal
