2. Notify Dynamic Internet
Dynamic Internet provides FTP access to its servers to make it easy for you to upload and update your web page as often as you like.
Here are a few guidelines for using this convenient service:
- If you have not already done so, notify Dynamic Internet that you want to establish a personal home page. You will not be granted a directory with FTP access until you do.
Dynamic Internet will create your directory with a default index page which you will automatically overwrite when you upload your index.html page.
- Customers receiving FTP access to Dynamic's web server must agree not to host other people's web pages in their directory and not to tamper with the function of the web server.
