Panix offers a personal Web page free with every single-user account we sell. Your Web files count towards your disk usage on Panix, and you get 1 GB in free traffic ("hits") on your Web site per month.
(Additional disk space and/or hits in excess of 1 GB in a month are subject to extra fees. See Personal Web page Pricing for details.)
Your page will be on the Panix webserver, in a directory matching your username. (For example, if you're "nobody@panix.com", your Web page will be "www.panix.com/~nobody/".
Should you like to get your own domain name, we can do that too. Panix Cheap Web starts at $5/month, or Panix Corporate Web gives you extra mailboxes, disk space, and traffic allowances at $35/month.
Charlotte will create a directory for you on the Web server, and create a link to it in your home directory called public_html so you can get there easily.Now you can upload your Web files into the public_html folder. To protect the security of your account, Panix recommends using Secure FTP (a module of Secure Shell) to do this. You can obtain an SFTP program here: Filezilla
Whichever type of client you choose, your destination host will be shell.panix.com using your Panix username and password; once you are connected, locate the public_html directory, and put your site files in that directory.
Remember, your main page should be called "index.html" or "index.htm"!
You can run CGI scripts in Perl or shell, and even compile CGI programs in C or C++ if you like. (Compiled CGIs must be compiled on the shell.panix.com NetBSD machines; programs compiled on the old Sun hosts will not work on the Web server.)
If you have questions about our personal web service, please send email to web-info@panix.com. Information can also be found in the newsgroup panix.user.html and in the Panix Web Frequently Asked Questions list.
