Publishing your site
To get your site online, you'll need to publish your page to your web space. For
Serif hosting, we'll assume that you've set up your web hosting previously and
transferred the account details to WebPlus. (See Get Serif web hosting on p. 20.)
If you would like to use your own hosting and domain name rather
than use Serif hosting the following instructions also allow you to
enter third-party FTP details.
1. On the Standard toolbar, from the Publish Site flyout,
click Publish to Web.
2. If no account details are detected you'll get a pop-up dialog to allow
you to activate Serif hosting or to add your own third-party hosting
details. From the pop-up dialog, in the Use existing hosting &
domain name box, select Add Details, then enter your FTP account
details.
3. From the dialog, ensure your account is shown in the FTP Account
drop-down list. If not, click the down arrow to select it. The account
details are displayed.
4. Click Update Account, then click OK. Your files are uploaded to your
website.. and are now online!!
5. Click Close, and then enter your web address in your favorite browser.
