  2. How do I create my homepage?
  3. How do I publish my homepage?
  4. What is my personal webpage address (URL)?
  5. Do I have CGI capabilities?

Personal Webspace Servers

If your web page is:
Use this FTP host:
http://users.stargate.net/~username

The following URLs redirect to users.stargate.net

http://users.intrepid.net/~username
http://www.usaor.net/users/~username
http://pgh.net/~username
http://www.inetone.net/username
http://www.toolcity.net/~username
http://www.erie.net/~username

users.stargate.net

 

Your username and password will most often be the same as your Expedient email username and password. If you have more than one Expedient email, it will be the same as the main email account username and password.

Upload your web content into your public_html folder.


  1. I am an Expedient customer. How do I obtain Personal Webspace?

    This service is no longer available for new users. Users who formerly had personal websites with Stargate may still have them available as a courtesy. The information on this page only applies to those legacy users.

  2. How do I create my homepage?

    Expedient does not provide instruction and support for html. Please see our Support Links for some good html tutorial and reference sites where you can learn to create your personal homepage.

    Important notes about making your Home Page

    Your main web page file must be titled index.html or index.htm. You can make as many other files as you want, but they must have the .html or .htm extension to be read properly by the web browser.

  3. How do I publish my homepage?

    You will need an FTP [File Transfer Protocol] program to publish your site. Links to free FTP programs, including Fetch for Macintosh and WS_FTP LE 32 for Windows are available on the Downloads page.

    After you have downloaded and installed an FTP program, configure your FTP Program to publish files to the web. Note: All your HTML files must be published to the public_html directory in your webspace.

  4. What is my personal webpage address (URL)?

    Most former Stargate users will have a web address or URL is in the format: http://users.stargate.net/~username.
    For example, if your ftp username is "jsmith", your URL would be http://users.stargate.net/~jsmith. The ~ is the tilde character.

  5. Do I have CGI capabilities?

    Yes. User have the ability to add interactivity to their web pages through the use of cgi scripts. You will need to create a cgi-bin directory in your public_html directory to store your scripts. See our CGI FAQ for more information.

  6. I've published my site but I can't see my homepage!

    The homepage (or first page that loads) for your user site must be named index.html or index.htm and it must be uploaded to your public_html folder.
