Designing your website

Before you can upload your website, you will need to design it. There are many programs available for designing your website.

If you are looking for an FTP client to upload files to your web directory we suggest using FileZilla.

If you are looking for a program you can use to design your website, a free program we suggest is Kompozer from http://www.kompozer.net/.

Uploading your website

Logging in:

For the "Server" or "Host," enter "users.rraz.net" (without the quotation marks.)

In the username box, enter your Red River username that you gave us when you set up your account. Do NOT enter your complete email address.
    Example: joeuser

The password is case sensitive.  That means that if it's lower case on our end, it needs to be lower case when you type it in.

NOTE: Content on this server is case sensitive.  If you include an image on your web page, make sure you point to the correct file. e.g. if you have a file 'images/Logo.jpg' your image tag should be
      <img src="images/Logo.jpg">
NOT
      <img src="images/logo.jpg">

robots.txt
In your /www folder is a file called robots.txt. The purpose of this file is to prevent search engines from finding specific parts of your website. You can get more information from the Internet about robots.txt if you'd like to learn more about it.

You can use this file to prevent Red River from listing your folder on our list of hosted user's pages. To do that, add the following lines to your robots.txt:

User-agent: RedRiver
Disallow: /
