Personal Web Space

cdroms.jpg (4640 bytes) All Shuswap Internet Junction accounts come with free non-commercial web space. This document outlines the Shuwap Internet Junction's Policies regarding free web space, as well as instructions on how to create your own web page.

Free Home Page Policies

All Shuswap Internet Junction users are entitled to set up their own non-commercial home pages subject to the following conditions

You may use up to 5 megabytes for storage on our server. Additional storage will be charged at $2 per megabyte per month. Please call us and arrange additional storage before you use it, otherwise our automatic monitoring programs may delete some of your information.

No support. Other than the instructions below, we cannot provide any support for your free web space either by phone or email.

Your free web page content must be non-commercial in nature. What does 'non-commercial' mean? The final decision is ours, but basically your page cannot promote a product or service. If you require commercial web space, please contact us at webadmin@sunwave.net

Your free WWW page must not contain any objectionable or illegal content.
We reserve the exclusive right to determine if the content is unacceptable.

We reserve the right to revoke this privilege from any user who is violating the non-commercial condition or who is using Personal web space contrary to our Acceptable Use Policy.

Other than that, you are welcome to experiment with HTML and get a headstart on the publishing medium of the future. Remember that anything you place on your pages is being made available to anyone in the world who has Internet access and URL for your home pages.

Step by Step Instructions

Make sure that you know how to use an FTP program to upload (send) files to a remote computer. For example, on Windows systems you would use WS_FTP rather than your WWW browser program.
Using the FTP program, log into (yoursite).users.shuswap.net using the userid and password provided to you.
You are now in your own personal home directory on our server.
Upload any HTML files and or picture files that you are using in your pages.
Make sure that the main entry page is in a file named index.htm

Your home page should now be accessible from your WWW browser by using the URL http://(yoursite).users.shuswap.net where the (yoursite) portion has been supplied by Shuswap Internet Junction.
