Petfinder Help – Web Site Hosting
Petfinder can help you expand your website.
Get an expanded home page!
Are you interested in a larger Web site than the one-page
Petfinder home page you currently have?
Petfinder will host a 40Mb site for your shelter.
You can use the extra space for additional pages and
pictures (including logos, staff pictures, and adoption
applications), all of which can be linked with your
current home page. (We allow you cgi use, but we do
not support front page extensions.)
You will still update your pet list and edit your
main home page in the same way you always have. The
rest of your site must be created, uploaded, and linked
by you, manually, using FTP (file transfer protocol).
We will supply a JavaScript that you can use to forward
your current home page to a new main page in FTP.
You will need to do this if you wish to use a Web
page creation program to create all pages, including
the home page.
Who can get an expanded home page?
This service is available to any member who is
familiar with FTP and HTML (hypertext markup language)
or willing to learn them on their own.
FTP is a simple procedure for transferring files from
one place to another. HTML is the code in Web pages
that tells the browser how to display information
on the page. There are many places online that explain
how to use HTML and FTP. There are even free or shareware
programs to use and make the process easier. We encourage
you to give it a try!
As with everything on the Petfinder site, we will do our best to provide answers to technical questions and point you in the right direction with design help. We also offer a unique address service to make your page easy to find. Unfortunately we do not offer Web creation or design service.
