getting started

I tried to make a website and I hate it: see creativenotions.bravehost.com,
so now I bought a domain name and am trying again, BUT when I click on the domain name it takes me to connectig with Frontpage, gives me a user name and password but doesn't tell me how to do anything. Guess I am stupid with this stuff but can someone help me all the same? I have a feeling I haven't waited long enough to start trying to make the page yet.

Also, its been a while since I have worked on the sites, but what is with the links leading to a page stating I have not gone to the correct page for bravehost, not bravenet. I am clicking on THEIR links. Why are they not updated?!

thanks in advance for helping.

Re: getting started

you have your placeholder index.html page so you can start making your site

with the frontpage thing perhaps you are using frontpage and is asking for the information with frontpage extensions not sure


but if you login and click the domains tab and your domain is there you can start building

Re: getting started

thanks for responding.

But HOW do I get started? When I click on manage website I have 3 options only: enable statistics, PHP configuration, delete website. I do not want any of these. I want to build the website.

Someone, help, please!

Re: getting started

Re: getting started

I did that. Click on build new website, clicked on use existing domain name, got screen that says domain name is used (no kidding!) It won' t let me build anything.

Now what?? anyone?

Re: getting started

Two things: first, according to your domain registry, you registered your domain on the 27th. You submitted your first complaint to this forum on the 27th at 1130 AM, presumably East Coast time as you are in South Carolina. You may be rushing things a bit, and my advice would be to slow down. Your new website is not going to happen overnight.
It seems that you may possibly be clicking on links that dont pretain to what you are attempting to do. This often happens when we get in a rush.
After log-in, you should be taken to a screen entitled "Account Overview". Notice carefully that the navigation tabs along the top of the page are labeled to correspond to the various functions available. Click the correct tab and go from there.

Re: getting started

after registering a domain name, it can take up to 72 hours to fully install itself. (usually less)
