This page is for academic interest only as we take care of all your website requirements.
Your
Web Space is a Directory
You will be allotted a directory (or folder) of size 100 Mb to 1 Gb (depending upon your Membership
category) in our server. You will "own" this space and be responsible for managing
all information within it. Name of this directory is your username
(let's say your username is delhi - so name of this directory will
be "delhi")
Your
Web Space is protected
You get your own password protected username under Linux. To gain
access to your web storage space (directory 'delhi') - you will
need to log-in with your user name (i.e. delhi) and password.
Structure
of your Web Space
Every username "owns" a structure of disk subdirectories
in the Linux file system. The "root" of this structure
is the "home" directory, found at path "/home/username".
You will not have access to /home directory - only at "delhi"
subdirectory under it (i.e. /home/delhi).
Note
that this is somewhat similar to the MS-DOS directory structure,
except that there is no drive letter and forward slashes are used
instead of backward slashes. You will find following sub-directories
(or sub-folders) within your web-space
Take
Special notice of sub-directory /www
Ignore all sub-directories except /public_html and /www.
Files placed in "public_html" are visible to remote
browsers over the Internet. As many clients are used to having
their main directory referred to as "www", we have created
another directory by name www. When www is attempted to be accessed,
the directory is automatically redirected to the correct public_html
directory.
All
you need to do is to place files in "www" sub-directory
to make it accessible by web browsers from any part of the world.
It
is strongly advised that you do not tinker with any other sub-directory
within your web-space, even if you consider yourself an 'expert'.
We shall not be responsible if your file system crashes because
of "playing" with system files. Recovery, if possible,
will be expensive on your part
