I have a bunch of HTML files that I’ve created for websites.
But my question is how do I get them online or for people to see them? I want to start applying to jobs but nobody can see my work, they're just on my desktop.
You could host your code in GitHub.
Simply sign up, create a new repository per project and push your code up.
Here is a great getting started tutorial for that: https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/
Are they raw HTML and CSS files? You will need to FTP them into your host. Filezilla is a great FTP client and you can snag that here:
https://filezilla-project.org/
Purchase some hosting space or for temporary you can get some free hosting account and then use File Manager inside CPanel or use Filezilla, upload your files and check it live. You will need to connect to some domain to your hosting space.
For static websites:
Netlify - https://www.netlify.com
Github pages - https://pages.github.com
Or you can google "free webhosting"

I know this is the most basic of questions. I made my own website in HTML documents. I bought a domain name from google. How can I publish this, how can I host it? I don't want to use any website creator, I want to publish my own files that I worked on.
You can use Github to host your website on your own domain.
You have to add the whole files needed for the website. Then in the settings of your repo use the Github pages feature and enable it. Change the source of Github pages to host in your own domain. Then you have to add some A and CNAME records of your domain to point to github servers.
Here are the full steps for the process - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/publish-websites-on-github-pages-with-a-custom-domain/
I was trying to export a Google Site I made for a project. I used wget to spider through every page and to download the html files and linked content. When I try to open "index.html" in Chrome, it does open the local HTML file, but it redirects me to the live version immediately after.
Is there anyway I could modify the HTML code so that it won't head straight to the actual website? I just want to have a local copy of it for reference, and I don't want to store it on Drive.
As the HTML file is too big to type out, I have provided it on Pastebin here.

You need a better question. No website works offline, or they do if you download all the files to your user’s computer so the user can view it offline. But at some point they had to visit it online to get it.
Or you save it as an html site and hand it to them on a USB drive. That’s offline to that extent. But then it’s not really a website, its an html file.
Or otherwise, if you need a website for your school which can be used by anyone through internet / intranet, you have two options -
1. Create and host a website in an online server
. a. You have to buy space and deploy a server yourself.
. b. They will a run website in their webserver for you. You just need to give money
2. Deploy a webserver in the school's any one machine and get it in other machines.
Rephrase the question for a better answer.
Hi Stack Overflow community,
I'm a bit of a noob here (please be gentle) and wanted to ask how to upload HTML/CSS + Packages in bulk to my site.
I'm familiar with the code injection/CSS editor within Squarespace, but something doesn't seem to be working.
To summarize, I received a bunch of files and was requested to upload them to the website I manage. These files contain:
HTML (by page)
CSS (by page)
image files
index.html
Scripts file (which include .js & .php
sitemap.xml
That being said, I know there is a lot of referencing between these files and wanted to know the best route in incorporating these into my site?
Thanks so much!
A quick way to upload multiple files is to use the (S)FTP protocol. You can use an FTP client such as FileZilla to upload files in bulk to your server.
However, I'm not quite sure if that's possible in your use case. Are you using Squarespace for your project? If so, it looks like you can use either Git or SFTP for file uploads. You'll need to have developer mode enabled for that, though.
I found this article that goes into uploading multiple files to Squarespace via their own upload system, does that help?
I recently created a HTML5 game locally on my PC. Then, I went to the Facebook developer website and created a new application but it asks you about the link to the application.
My application is local and I don't have any hosting website. I tried to upload it via jsfiddle, but they didn't accept it as a valid link. What should I do?
I suggest reading the Getting Started manual on Facebook Help Center, that will get you started very well. Make sure you follow the steps and search for more information there.
You are not able to use JS Fiddle for your Facebook application, you need to have some website to host the application in. There are several cheap (some free) web hosts, which you can use for hosting. It is always better if you can buy your own web domain and host, this way it's guaranteed that it will work.
When you have your domain set up, you create a folder for your application on the FTP server and use the address (e.g. http://example.com/myapp/, https://example.com/myapp/) and place that address into the Canvas URL field on the configuration panel in Facebook Developers site.
The steps on how to continue from now on can be found from the manual linked above. Hopefully this helped you out!
I have recently learned how to write HTML pages on a standalone computer, with all the references given to the directories in the local drives.
How, then, can I do the following:
Create a website, using HTML. I know I'll be able to create its look, but I don't know what should be given as the reference address (URL) if there is a hyper link (like: href). So how do I get an address that can be used on the Internet?
How do I upload this file to the Internet, do I have to upload it onto a server? If yes, which?
If there are multiple pages then how do I create references between?
Most importantly if I have to create this site should I use HTML, or something else?
When developing a website you will want to observe the following:
You need to regsiter a domain name that you want people to use to access your site. You can do this using any number of online registrars
You will have to get a web host...again there are many. They will give you instructions to upload using FTP or otherwise
The references between pages on your website will have to use relative addresses. That is /page2.html rather than http://www.myserver.com/page2.html.
You have to use HTML to create the front end. Plus CSS and maybe JavaScript. If you need dynamic content like accessing a database etc then you have to learn server side languages like PHP, ASP.NET or JSP.
To reference pages and resources (images, css, et.c.) you can use either relative paths, virtual paths or absolute paths.
A relative path shows the relation between the items, for example:
An image in the same folder: art.gif
An image in a subfolder: images/art.gif
An image in a parent folder: ../art.gif
An image in a parallel subfolder: ../images/art.gif
A virtual path starts with "/", so it's relative to the root folder of the site:
An image in the root folder: /art.gif
An image in a subfolder: /images/art.gif
An absolute path specifies the complete URL to the resource:
An image in a subfolder: http://www.mysite.com/images/art.gif
To put the pages on the net, you need some kind of hosting. You can start with searching the web for "free hosting" and you will find plenty of sites where you can try this out.
Most free hosting offer a subdomain or subfolder for your site, like mypage.thewebhost.com or www.thewebhost.com/mypage. If you want your own domain like www.mypage.com you need to register it for a fee. Many hosts offer a domain name "for free" when you buy web space, but you will of course end up paying for it in the end as it's included in the fee for the space.
Regardless of how you create the page, it will use HTML in the end. That's what the web is made of. If you use a server side language like ASP.NET or PHP, they still output HTML pages for the browser.
This is a great site if you're just getting started with HTML: http://www.w3schools.com/
I think you are asking about how to publish your site on the web and then access it.
Buy a domain, go to any domain hosting site like godaddy.com etc.
After buying domain the domain hosting company will send you the details of your account/pwd
With you account pwd you can access their ftp server.
Put your current html pages on their ftp server (put them in the public folder)
Access your html pages on the web now.
Also note it will take atleast a few minutes before your domain info gets published on the dns servers, i.e to say it will take a while before you can access your website (usually a few minutes)
Try giving relative urls in the href link. For e.g. if you want to link index.html to page1.html in the same folder you don't need to give complete path of the page1.html for the link. You can simply write Page 1
You can learn more about relative urls from here
You can get a free web hosting account from sites like http://110mb.com , they also provide a free sub-domain and a ftp account.
You need HTML to create webpages. There's no other option.
Hope this helps.
Google is your friend. There's tons of help for web site development. I just recently switiched from HTML to PHP, but I recommend you use HTML until you are fully comfortable with it.
