    You would need a FTP program to upload files to your web server. You can try searching for SmartFTP.

    You would also need to point your domain name to the correct DNS on the eqwebhost. They should have tutorials in their site to help out beginners.

    Do let us know if you have encounter any further problems.

    first, get ftp details from eqwebhost

    after that, get an ftp client, such as SmartFTP. its free. google for it
    eqwebhost probably has some nameservers info that you can get
    use these nameservers addresses in godaddy

    then you wait approx 24 hours

    upload your stuff to your server
    and whola! you got a site

    You need to take one step at a time and try not to panic between them ;)
    A live link would also help.

    i didnt point DNS to mt webhosting. Bcoz it is already pointed to someother site. so I need to see my site before pointing servers.
    Is it happens to everyone??
    I just wanted to see my page, as if it is hosted, like on my computer.

    Unless you know exactly what you're doing, be prepared to face downtime while moving the site to the new server. Well, it doesn't seem like a very complex website anyway, so I'd first point the DNS to the new server, and then fix any issues to get the site up and running. I assume uploading files will take 10-20 minutes at most.

    Hi smart, so is this your site?

    [​IMG]

    If no, you need to point your domain to your web server and upload your local files to the web server via a FTP software. I hope its clearer now..

    A 24-48 hr downtime will not hurt that much with your SE rankings/online earnings. Just relax. ;)
