Hi there guys!

First of all, sorry about my english, i'm not native.
Also, i'm not sure if this is the rigth forum to post my question,
if not, i will gladly accept suggestions about where.

Well, i have this site of mine placed on esmartstart, which is a
free web hosting service, and was working cool for me.
The adress is www.desarrolloweb.50g.com.
Well so a month ago i decided to redesign my web cos
i was a little tired of the look and i gained some more
experience. I prepare the stuff with dreamw 4.01 and I
test it and everything is cool.
I even test it with a litle web server program and a friend of
mine pointing to my IP.
So I publish it, and surprise, it doesn't go.
All I get in my browser is the head, the css, and the pop ups
from my host service. Nothing else, no background, no links,
no images, no nothing.
I write the guys from esmartstart but no response. So I am
alone, and have no idea of what is going on. My last web
desing worked cool, and this new one is only a litle more
complex , includes frames and css (is that complex?).


Here's the source code that my browser gives back when i
point to my site;

ok, first off. it might be the host.

i can suggest a few.

www.7p.com
www.8m.com
www.tripod.com
www.tripod.co.uk
www.50megs.com

all of those are free hosts. tripod.co.uk is my favorite actually.

second off, how did you publish your site? using dreamweaver? or did you ftp the html file onto your web server?

if you used dreamweaver which i bet you did, try and do this. Save the file as (whatever you want to call it.html), then get a free FTP client.

www.downloads.com Type in Smart FTP or Cute FTP. or Leech FTP
those are my favorites.

now, you need to know if your free host provides ftp. mostly they do.

for tripod, its ftp.tripod.com
i dont know about your host.

then enter your username and password. and just upload the file onto your server.

that should work. I really dont think its the coding. but ill take a look at it just to make sure

-Josh

Hi Josh

First of all thanks.

I used Smart FTP to post all my files, not DreamW. In the first page I published everything cool, but now...

Some other info; as my new page was blank, I decide to place a "under construction" splash screen until I solve the thing. So I did and It works! so it must be the code. Now if you visit it, you see the blank one, I put it back cos i am testing different codes to see if one goes.

I don't really want to change the host cos my adress is up into some search engines and databases of interest to me here in Spain, so it would be lost job, and I want to waste all possibilities . I need other suggestions.


Thanks again........

Here's the fact.....

http://pdfiles.netfirms.com

I published a copy of my new page in a new free host just to check out....

And surprise, it is perfect. No problem, I can surf the whole site, with no conflicts....

What now?

Hi djinnic,

Honestly, I would recommend getting a domain name. They are incredibly cheap, and you no longer need a credit card to register one! It also helps with search engine rankings greatly. However, if this is not possible, you can always get a free redirection domain name. Therefore, whenever the host goes down or you feel like changing hosts, you can simply change the settings to where you have a backup, without affecting search engine results at all!

However, if you really want to keep this URL, you can always turn this into an entry page that links elsewhere. I strongly warn you against this, though. This host may delete your site for such a tactic. Also, when this host goes down sometime later (as with almost all free hosts), you will be forced to start over after having already invested countless hours in improving your search engine rankings.

well... since your URL is being displayed in different Spanish search engines then why dont you get a different host and redirect the current URL to the other host. Works out fine.

even though i dont think its the host anymore, its for sure the code. i will check your code using HTML-Kit and tell you wahts wrong in liek 10 minutes.

well...i fixed some part of your coding. it seemed to be a javascript error. although now all i get is a macromedia flash thing at the top.

and it says Castellaño as a link and English as regular Text.

is that supposed to be all? if not...then i think your missing some piece of coding.

well here is what i fixed...

All rigth Josh;

thanks for the coding. I changed the page and placed in the server the new one with the corrections, but unfortunately it's still the same......

The code you got is just what it is supposed to be. It is actually an entry screen, with a small flash banner, and two links, one to the spanish version (cast.htm) and the other to the english one. The only thing us that i didn't finish the english one cuz i was waiting to fix the error..... (that's why it was only text) but now...

well so i suppose this is the end if noone has more ideas

thanks again
