You can host on your web server personal web pages for users who do not
need their own domain names. These pages usually have web addresses like
http://your-domain.com/~username.
To create a personal web page under your domain and set up an FTP
account for publishing:
-
Go to Websites & Domains, locate the domain and click Web
Users. -
Click Settings.
-
If you want to allow execution of scripts embedded in personal web
pages, select the Allow web users to use scripts checkbox. -
Click OK.
The settings you have defined at the step 4 are common for all
personal web pages you might host on your account. Therefore, you
will not need to perform the steps from 3 to 5 next time you set up a
new web user account. -
Click Add Web User.
-
Specify a username and a password that will be used for accessing the
subscription through FTP and publishing the web pages.You can use only lower-case alphanumeric, hyphen and underscore
symbols in the username. The username should begin with an alphabet
character. It cannot contain white spaces. The password cannot
contain quotation marks, white space, username, and should be between
5 and 14 characters in length. -
If you want to limit the amount of disk space that can be occupied by
the web page content, type the desired value in megabytes into the
Hard disk quota box.When the specified limit is exceeded, the web page owner will not be
able to add files to his or her subscription. -
Specify the programming languages that should be supported for the
web page.For example, if the web page is written in PHP, select the PHP
support checkbox. -
If you use a Windows-based hosting account, and the applications
running under this account on a personal web page need to use a
file-based database (like Jet) located in the root ofhttpdocsor
httpsdocsdirectory, select the Additional write/modify
permissions option. Note that selecting this option might seriously
compromise the website security. -
Click OK.
Now you can tell your web user the FTP account credentials, so that they
can publish their web page.
