I'm not to sure about godaddy with the hosting end, how much do godaddy charge for that whole package?

 

I too use godaddy for a couple of sites and they have a way to setup a ftp user. Once that is done you can use your PC to just ftp the files to their server. If you like more details, please send me a PM.

 

they have different plans there here is the site address to check them out www.godaddy.comi got the cheapest one for 7.98 for 2 months and also domane to so i could try it out that is ..

have you tried reading through there FAQ? (http://help.godaddy.com/topic_list.php?&&topic_id=58)

 

Here is what i typed up but the link sent in the previous reply is better.

on your windows
click on the start menu then select my network place
on the "my network places", select the "add a network place"
a wizard will open up
select next
select "choose another network location"
select next
For the "internet or network address" enter ftp://ftp.yourdomainname.com
* update the yourdomainname with your domain name
select next
uncheck "log on anonymously"
enter the ftp user you created
select next, next
select finish

This will create a shortcut, then click on the shortcut in "my network place" and hopefully this will take you into the godaddy dir that you have.

Now just drag and drop the files you want from your computer to the ftp window

Good luck

 

ok thank you for that tutorial but i see the files like how u said theyd appear i see different files there but what one do i drop the images or htnk into ? thanks jenny

You should have studied HTML, CSS and basic coding before purchasing a hosting package from go daddy. Anyway, good luck to you and welcome to DP!
