If you have any specific question that were not covered in this message, please email support@eqhost.com
 
 
Q: Will I have 24 hours, 7 days access to update my Website?
A:
Yes. EQHost provides you with unlimited access to update and make changes to your Website via FTP or FrontPage 24 hours a day.

 
Q: How do I display my webpage on the World Wide Web?
A:

Your need to upload your HTML and associated files onto your account at EQHost.

The first page of your website must be called one of the following: index.htm, default.htm, index.html or default.asp (if it is an Active Server Page script file). Please ensure that your home page is located in your root directory, not in a subfolder - otherwise, unless a browser has that exact subfolder address in the window, otherwise your site cannot be displayed.

Please contact support@eqhost.com if there is a special request.

 
Q: How do I upload content to my Website?
A:
You will be given access to your Website via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or published with Microsoft FrontPage. However, if you choose to have FrontPage Extensions and FTP access on your Website, you must do so with caution. If you are not careful, you can easily overwrite the FrontPage extensions and destroy the integrity of the Website.

 
Q: Can I have CGI and ASP and Perl on my Website?
A:
EQHost can setup your FrontPage site to have custom CGI abilities. EQHost also support ASP, Cold Fusion, PHP and Perl Script.
