what’s the goal
A Web Detour
Moving in
Congratulations! You’ve got your hosting company
lined up, you’ve found a domain name, and you’ve
got a server all ready for your Web pages. (Even
if you don’t, keep following along because this is
important stuff.)
Now what? Well, it’s time to move in, of course.
So, take that For Sale sign down and gather up all
those files, we’re going to get them moved to the
new server. Like any move, the goal is to get things
moved from, say, the kitchen of your old place to
the kitchen of your new place. On the Web, we’re
just worried about getting things from your own root
folder to the root folder on the Web server. Let’s get
back to Starbuzz and step through how we do this.
Here’s what things look like now:

Here’s the root folder
for Starbuzz.

Starbuzz pages currently live.

Here’s the new Web site name.
We’re using the starbuzzcoffee.com
domain (since we beat you to it,
you’ll have to use your own domain
name instead).
Remember your
Starbuzz pages? There
are two: the main page
(index.html) and the
page that contains
the mission statement
(mission.html).
Here’s the new Web server. The
hosting company has already
created a root folder for you,
which is where all your pages
are going to go.
