Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Aplus.Net WebsiteCreator is a simple-to-use content management tool which offers many template choices and a short, step-by-step design process. Best of all, no HTML skills are required to build and maintain a professional looking website.

Here are the general steps to include on your website a downloadable link to any type of file:

I. ACCESS THE WEBSITECREATOR:

  1. Start by logging to your Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration number and Customer password.
  2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
  3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
  4. Select the hosted domain name that you’d like to manage.
  5. Click the Design tab.
  6. Now, click the WSC Website Builder icon.

Important: You will have to activate your Free WebsiteCreator plan, if it is not yet activated. Please allow up to 60 minutes for the activation process. Return to the WSC Website Builder tool once your new plan is activated.

  1. Click on the administer link associated with your current WebsiteCreator service plan. You will be automatically logged into your WebsiteCreator.

II. ADD A DOWNLOADABLE LINK TO A SPECIFIC FILE:

Important: You have first to upload the file in question to your FTP space. For the Unix-based hosting plans you have to upload to the html directory or to any of its subdirectories. For the Windows-based hosting plans upload to the WWWROOT directory or to any of its subdirectories.

  1. Click the Create / Edit site button.
  2. Choose the location of the downloadable link and mark this area with the mouse.
  3. Right-click with the mouse over the marked area and select Edit text.
  4. Now, mark the exact text area to include the link.
  5. Click on the Link button from the menu at the top.
  6. Select External using the respective radio-button.
  7. Type in the URL of your file. For example, http://yourdomain.com/my_biography.doc.
  8. Check the box next to Open in new window, if you want the file to be displayed in a new browser window.
  9. Finally, click OK.  

III. PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE:

  1. Simply click the Publish button to have your designed website uploaded to your Aplus.Net Hosting Server.
