    Hi all,

    I've created a flash website using a template.

    It consists of a html page and an swf file.

    Whats the best way to host this? Do I just give a hosting provider the two files? :confused:

    sign up with your hosting provider of choice they provide you space and details on how to connect to the system

    FTP up your two files to the site (or use the file manager)

    One of them will want to be index.html (or similar extension)

    and away you go ?

    Cheers!

    So will the URL have to be: www."mysite".com/index.html or is there a way to set it up so that when someone goes to www."mysite".com they will automatically redirected to index.html (which leads to the flash)

    ....Last stupid question, I promise :D

    normally if someone goes to yoursite.com ... they get the index.html .php .shtml .asp page served up to them without the url changing to index.html so you'll fine fine :)
