What is my web address?
Your web page address will be http://www.jayco.net/username
unless you specified differently. Sometimes when you see web page
addresses some will have the http:// and some will just have www.company.com.
Internet Explorer and Netscape will accept either one. Internet
Explorer and Netscape will put the http:// in the address for you.
Some older (text-based) browsers will require that you have the
http://. For business cards, letter heads, etc., you can just put
http://www.jayco.net/username. You may also see an address referred
to as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) which is a fancy word for
'Web Page Address'.
How do I get a web address like http://www.mysite.com?
Your own domain name (www.company.com) is available
for a fee. Please refer to our services
page for the current prices. You can also contact
us for more design and hosting information.

How do I create images for my page?
There are a number of different ways to create images. We recommend
Paint Shop Pro for editing and
creating images for your web page. There are many more useful tools
for creating images. You may also want to look at our resources page.
Does capitalization matter?
Yes. Capitalization does matter on your web page address and filenames. It is a
safe precaution to keep all files names and addresses on your web page
lowercase. Our web server is based on a UNIX system in which filenames are case
sensitive.
How do I get a web counter?
OnlyInternet.Net offers free web counters to our customers. To create a web
counter just make an image with an address of:
http://www.onlyinternet.net/cgi-bin/count.xbm/var/
www/docs/cgi-logs/countername
or
http://www.onlyinternet.net/cgi-bin/countbw.xbm/var/
www/docs/cgi-logs/countername
There is a difference between the first and second address. The first one has
transparent text on a black background. The second one is black text on a
transparent background. You also need to replace "countername" with some
kind of discriptive name. We prefer that you use the first part of your E-Mail
address (ie jdoe). If you are using a editor program you need to create an image
with either of those addresses as the 'source'. If you are making web pages in
HTML, the code would look like:
You're visitor number <IMG SRC="http://www.onlyinternet.net/cgi-bin/
countbw.xbm/var/www/docs/cgi-logs/jdoe"> to my site.
and would look like:
You're visitor number  to my site.
How do I use a File Transfer program?
The file transfer program allows you to upload your web pages to our server.
There are many different ways of doing this. Some programs support automatic
uploads. If you are trying to use one of those automatic upload programs, please
request support if needed. If you want to use the File Transfer program provided
on the install disks, then please read the following. Start the File Transfer
program in the Parlor City Internet Group. Click on the down arrow beside
"Profile Name" and select Parlor City Internet. Take the check mark off of
Anonymous Login. For the User ID and Password, fill in the information that you
received after you requested your web page account. Then click on the OK button.
On the left hand side is your computer, and on the right hand side is our
server. You will begin in your directory. You need to transfer the .html files
and images using the arrows in between the two screens. You need to make sure
that you transfer the .html files using the ASCII option (at the bottom of the
screen) and transfer all other files (.jpg, .gif, etc) using the BINARY option.
What page do people go to first?
The first page that people visit when they go to
http://www.jayco.net/username is the file called index.html or index.htm.
The reason that they go to this page first is because they're not
actually specifying a file when they visit your address. They're
only specifying a directory.
Can I use CGI programs?
Yes you can. All you need to do is upload the CGI script with a .cgi extension and
then using the your FTP program's SITE command, issue the following:
SITE CHMOD 555 filename
If you do not issue the above command, then the file will not execute and you
will receive an error when you request the program.
