iWeb and Namecheap.com

Dear all,


I just bought a domain name and 20 gb server storage on namecheap.com. I am creating a website in iWeb and I cannot figure out how to publish it. I contacted the namecheap.com hotline and they said I need to upload all my files, but I thought it was possible to publish the website through iWeb. I have tried several times to publish it through iWeb, and everytime it says that the site has been succesfully uploaded, but when I go to my website, there is no content:


http://www.heavymortar.com/ - this is my domain name.


Please, can anybody help me out here?


Thank you all!


Chris

You have a folder "heavy_mortar" on the server but there are no files in it.


Try uploading the files again using the settings shown in the first example on this page...

Note that the Directory/Path field is blank so that the files will upload to the root folder.


You need to have an index.html file and a folder, "heavy_mortar", containing all the website files in the root folder for everything to work.
