i bought my domain and server space (linux economic) at godaddy.com

i have one image on my website News-String.com at the top left, i can get the image uploaded to the server where my actual html is uploaded too just fine, but linking it after the IMG=src" is the problem. i have looked allover godaddy and can't find anywhere that tells you the directory name of images when you upload them to your server. in my content:file manager i can see all the files i have uploaded to the server but have no idea the location i can use in my html source code to point to them! i did try just News-String.com the folder on the server i put them in but it doesn't work...i ended up getting so frustrated i uploaded the image to imageshak and just linked it there..

here is the source code where the link the image should be:

<v:fill color2="white [7]"/>
<v:stroke color2="white [7]">
<o:left v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
<o:top v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
<o:right v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
<o:bottom v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
<o:column v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
</v:stroke>
<v:imagedata src="http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2448/image332dg1.gif" o:title="font"/>
<v:shadow color="#ccc [4]"/>
<vath o:extrusionok="f" insetpenok="f"/>
<o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/>
</v:rect><![endif]--><![if !vml]><span style='position:absolute;z-index:10;



by the way--i used microsoft publisher...so thats why the coding looks so scrambled

For any site I have hosted on godaddy I have all my images with a thrid party site. I can't stand godaddy hosting. They have the craziest problems. My developer will not even work with them. Try hostgator... their cpanel and ftp transfers are a breeze

[cscott5288]

ok problem is i already payed godaddy..anyone have a solution?

all i need to know is the damn locations of the files i upload

Once again, and I can't say this enough - godaddy sucks. They're the absolute worst service I have ever come across and I've been a linux admin for over a decade now. They're site has way too many tools with not enough actual functionality. I currently host 8 sites for friends of mine that had godaddy and I told them just point the domain at someone with a real hosting account. I'm actually finally looking to get a dedicated server set for one site, so I'll move all the other ones over to the webserver as well, and now I get to start hunting for good hosting companies all over again.

man this sucks..all i need is one image to upload correctly though, godaddy should be able to have the option to do that correctly right? am i correct in thinking the link should be News-String.com the folder i have it in on the file manager page?

You can cancel at anytime and get a full refund for what you paid for. I cancelled two hosting packages last month... just call them

[brownbob06]

dang...I LITERALLY just paid for my Godaddy hosting five minutes ago. I'll see how it all goes before I decide to cancel though.

Actually, just cancelled it cuz I saw Hostgator, much more space and bandwidth!

[pentupentropy]

I use hostgator for shared hosting. I've had no problems and no complaints. Support has been good the one time I needed it and everything flows smoothly.
I hate bluehost, but the one thing I will say is if you don't need cpanel and just have a cut up crappy page for something like hits anyway, they do have a higher tolerance on their servers for MySQL queries and concurrent apache connections. Hostgator has 25 and bluehost has like 50. 25, though, is a lot. Having 25 people at a time on a server where a connection may only be open for 5 minutes tops (usually a lot less) means 5 people a minute or 300 an hour. So until you hit that level, you don't need more.

My current usage on hostgator is 4GB of space, I go through about 20 GB bandwidth and I get about 9-10K uniques per month, atm, though it seems to be growing steadily (yeay me!) I still haven't had any problems with the server except once when someone spammed me with 3 ip's and about 60 connections and it bogged the box down for all of 2 minutes.

I'm serving about 40,000 page views and I think around 180,000 hits with about 15 queries per connect on MySQL. I think I could easily double this before I have to upgrade to dedicated servers. We'll see, because www.nospintalk.com - Home took off slow and now has a little over 300 uniques per day, but www.verybadhabits.com - Home has been up for two days and is already getting 100 uniques per day. go figure, destructive stuff getting traffic.

Your problems is very simple. In order to use publisher pages you need front page to upload them and have front page extension on your server and have the extension activated.

Publisher and FP use many hidden system files and uploading just this page wont work.

Here try this, copy and paste on notepad save as image.html and upload to your server. Then visit News-String.com/image.html

<html>
<head>
<title>Testing Images in GoDaddy</title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="place your image name here.jpg" alt="test image">
</body>
</html>

Place your image in the same folder as this file. Try that an let me know.
