You will also need to know your own user name and password. These are most often the same ones you use to log onto the internet. You will also need to know the starting folder, such as public_html or www. Most ISPs require the index page to be named index.htm or index.html but there again you will have to check with the ISP.

http://www.yourISP.com/~username or http://www.yourISP.com/username where "username" is your name you use to log onto the internet.

Let's look at using GoLive to publish your site. GoLive has two built-in publish server clients: the Publish Server tab in the site window, and the file browser.  We will be using the Publish Server tab in the site window.
