What file types do you allow ?
Below you will find the
current list of supported file types. We will add

more common across the Web. Support for other file
types can be requested. For security reasons, we will
not be supporting CGI scripts or .EXE files.

Can you
help me with HTML? :
No sorry, at this time
we cant as we have thousands of members. There are lots
of excellent websites and resources to learn how to
build websites. Check out the "Resources" section on the
front page. There are also many good books on learning
HTML.
I am using
frames and I have a banner in every frame ?
:
At this time we don`t fully support frames.
The reason is we refuse to go to pop-up banners so we
cant support multiple frames. The majority of people
think that frames sites are annoying, especially when
you get stuck in a frame. If you look at the majority of
major websites and top search engines around the world
you will notice they don't use frames. .
I have
more than one banner on my page ? :
The
problem is with your HTML code, you probably have more
than one "body" tag. In HTML you must only have one body
tag per page.
I signed
up but didn`t get my password ?:
Chances are
you made a mistake with the typing of your email address
or your e-mail provider is slow or down. If you don't
get an e-mail within 4 hours re-apply for an
account.
I tried
my password but it doesn't work:
Watch how
you type in the password as it is case sensitive,
recheck the e-mail to make sure you get it correctly.
Also check you are using the correct username as it is
written in the email.
It may be worth using copy
and paste to make sure you have the correct password but
be careful not add spaces before or after the password,
this will cause it to fail.
I lost my
password ?:
No problem, go to the member
login page and type in your username and press "get lost
password" . It will be sent to your e-mail address.
Can I host
my own domain? :
Yes, just email us your
account account info and domain name.
Do you
do subdomains?:
Yes we do support sub domains. For example these two
urls are for the same user:
http://billybob.stormpages.com
or http://www.stormpages.com/billybob
My images
don`t show up on Ebay or other websites.:
The
reason is we don`t allow hotlinking images, the answer
is to put your images on a webpage here at Stormpages
and put a URL at the auction site to that
page.
When I go
to my website I don't see my files?:
The problem is you do not have an "index.html" in your
home directory. When you type in http://stormpages.com//username
all web servers look for http://stormpages.com/username/index.html
I made
changes to my files but they didn't show up in the
browser?:
The problem is with your browser,
they will store you old pages in an area called the
cache. Press the reload or refresh button and you should
see you changes, if not clear the cache in your browser.
My page
Still says I have not moved in ?:
When you type in your address http://stormpages.com/yourname/
what you really see is http://stormpages.com/yourname/index.html
You
need to replace or delete the index.html file with the
page you wish to be the home page. Its important that
you name it index.html as this is the default file that
all web servers look for first.
My account
has gone. :
It may have been deleted for
breaking the terms of usage which you agreed to when you
signed up or you have problems with your password and
you need to choose the correct category on the login
page.
Where do I
login and upload my files ?:
Go to the
homepage and click on "member login"
Do you
support MS Frontpage and Frontpage extentions
?:
Yes and No ! You can upload html pages
made in Frontpage via our online browser FTP. You cannot
upload them directly via Frontpage itself. To upload
files, just login to your account and click on "File
Uploads".
What is
the largest file you can upload?:
The biggest file we allow at the moment is 50000 killobytes
(50000K) or 50 megs.
I want to
leave and delete my account:
No Problem, log
in to your account, click on the "account information"
link. You will find a button to delete your account and
all its files. Be warned, once your account is deleted
your files are gone !
How
does Stormpages pay for these services ?:
We
have an ad banner at the top of every html
page
I need
more webspace ?:
When you have nearly used up your allocation then email us and
we will increase your allocation. Please post your login
username and e-mail address but NOT your password !
My images
or webpages don't show up ?:
Check the file
names and the directories, remember that file names are
case sensitive so foo.html is not the same as
Foo.html.
I change
my web page but when I look in the browser it doesn`t
change ?:
The reason you see the old page or
file is because of your browser cache which stores the
old page on you hard disk. Hit reload or clear your
browser cache to see the changes.
