Where do I find a Public_html directory?
And how do I upload html notepad documents into them?

Thanks
Amy

    Login to your ftp space. If you can't see 'Public_html' chances are you're in it.

    If you are just working on your home pc then you can store your html files anywhere. If you want a page live on the internet you must upload to your web space, usually via ftp. The address wil be of the form: ftp://ftp.yoursite.com if using windows explorer.

    You will be asked for a username and password and take it from there.

    Firstly do you actually have any webspace to upload your pages to? Which company will host your pages will determine the ftp settings and procedures.

    Well the Public_html directory would be under your account on the company's server online that you have the webspace with. That explains why you can't find it. You may be allowed some webspace with your internet service provider (ISP) included with your internet package . Who is your ISP?
