Hosting Webpages

You can use the SHellium.org account to host your webpage! All you need to do is create/upload your webpages and related files (such as images, ZIP files etc.) to the public_html directory.

public_html

The contents of this directory will be accessible to all website visitors. Normally, you would be interested in placing web pages here (that is what you want visitors to see... right?), along with the pretty pictures and stuff like that.

Viewing your Page

Let's say your user name is abcd and that put up a new HTML page called index.html in the public_html directory, as described above. Now, you and your friends can view this page by pointing their browser to either of the two URLs below

http://ssh.shellium.org/~abcd/index.html
https://ssh.shellium.org/~abcd/index.html

Of course, you need to edit the place holders to match your username and name of the webpage that you would like to view.

Common Issues

Sometimes, things may go wrong and you may be unable to view your page. In such cases, try out these simple solutions:

• Make sure that you have moved the file in question to your public_html directory.
• Don't forget the ~ (tilde) preceding the username in the URL.
• Ensure that you spell out the names of the files correctly.
• Check file permissions, execute chmod 644 index.html
• SHellium.org uses the Secure HTTP(https) protocol. Take note of this fact.
