Free Website Hosting with MySite @ MyiFriends.net

QUESTION: I have my own website. How do I host it on iFriends?
ANSWER: All iFriends' Video Chathosts get their own unlimited-bandwidth, unlimited-traffic, free web-hosting service, under our "MySite @ MyiFriends.net" program. If you're a registered video chathost, it's yours to use, FREE. You even get your own iFriends-style domain name! For example, if your iFriends screenname is "MYSCREENNAME", and you upload HTML pages to iFriends' free MySite web server, your website is reachable anywhere in the world through this address: http://MyScreenName.MyiFriends.net. (Your site is also reachable at the alternative address, "http://MySite.iFriends.net/MyScreenName"). To activate your iFriends web site, select the "Update/Modify My Web Site" option on the Chathost Console.

If you're technically adept, you can even host your own domain name directly on the free iFriends MySite server. (Detailed instructions are provided in the MySite management facility). Access the powerful "MyiFriends Manager" facility from the Chathost Console and host your website on iFriends. Free!

QUESTION: How do I upload my HTML and graphics files to the MyiFriends server?
ANSWER: We recommend that you first arrange your HTML and graphics files on your own local hard drive, to make sure you've got everything linked just the way you like. Once your website is functioning smoothly in your own local folders, use the MyiFriends Upload Manager to upload each file, one by one, to the MyiFriends server. (Actually, you can upload three at a time, until all your files are in place, or you can use our alternative FTP-based system to upload entire folders of files) There is no limit to the number of files you can host on the MyiFriends server.

Once uploaded, anyone anywhere in the world can visit your website by using your own iFriends domainname. For example, if your screenname is MY_SCREENNAME, your iFriends "MyiFriends" website would be located at this address: "My_ScreenName.MyIfriends.net". Simple as that!

Ready to upload your HTML and activate your free iFriends website? Select the "Update/Modify My Web Site" option on the Chathost Console. It's a snap!

QUESTION: I'm confused by all the different kinds of personalized pages and sites available to me on iFriends. Can you clarify?
ANSWER: Sure! Let's use longtime iFriends video chathost "CASHMIRLIV" as an example.

1. CashMirLiv's iFriends "profile" page
   This page is created the moment CashMirLiv registered her iFriends screenname for the first time. This page is comprised of information CashMirLiv filled out on the chathost signup form, and updates automatically whenever CashMirLiv changes any of the information in her chathost registration.
2. CashMirLiv.MyIfriends.net
   This site did not exist until CashMirLiv created and uploaded HTML to the MyiFriends site server. This site changes whenever CashMirLiv uses the MyiFriends Site Manager to upload or delete HTML files and graphics.
3. MySite.iFriends.net/CashMirLiv
   This address is a longer version of #2, and is an alternate address for CashMirLiv's free iFriends website.
4. www.CashMirLiv.com
   This is CashMirLiv's own domain name (she owns it), and she has configured her domain name to resolve to her MyiFriends site. iFriends offers this capability to technically-sophisticated chathosts who understand the dynamics of DNS and domain-name registration. However, iFriends does not provide support, consulting, or training services related to ownership of your own domain name. Complete instructions are available in the MyiFriends Site Manager.
