HOW TO GET A SPACE IN CYPER SPACE

Go to http://www.bravenet.com to sign up for Free Web Hosting

Click on the link 'Join Bravenet' at the top right of the page
Fill out the form to join - choose a user name and password that you will remember! Don't worry about your website address, we will get to this later.

Make sure you enter your email address correctly as you will need to collect your validation code from this address.

After this page you will see a page of offers, you can ignore these if you want and click the continue button at the bottom of the page.
You will now see a 'Welcome Page' when you click on 'Get Free Hosting' you will be asked to validate your account and choose any newsletters you want to subscribe to.

You do not need to choose any and may just continue.
The next page will ask you to choose your hosting. Choose the 'get bravehost' button for free webhosting.
You will now asked to choose your hosting package. Pick the button 'Free'.
The next page will allow you to choose your web address.

IMPORTANT - choose the option 'Build a new website' on the left; the option on the right is a paid option.
You will now get a pop-up box. Choose the first option 'Use a subdomain'.

This is where you choose your website address.
Type your desired sub-domain into blank space in the next screen, and click 'create sub-domain'.

This will form your website's address e.g.
http://sshowto.bravehost.com
You will now be taken to your 'Website Manager' page.

To begin uploading click on 'File Manager' the first option in the left hand column.
In the next box browse to the location on your computer where you stored the files you were sent.

IMPORTANT - do not change the names of any of the files or any links I have put in will not work!

If you want to upload more than the four files allowed for simply click 'new file upload box'
When your files are uploaded you will be taken back to the Website Manager page.

There is one final step to take. You will notice that there are now TWO index files.

Index.html and Index.htm

Index.html is the 'holding page' by Bravenet. Delete this file by click the red circle with the cross in it.

Next re-name the file Index.htm to Index.html. This is VERY IMPORTANT. If you do not do this you will not see your site!
That's it. You've finished.

Your website is now ready to view.

Go to your sub-domain that you created earlier
e.g. http://sshowto.bravehost.com

Don't forget to advertise your new address on the forum!
