Process Overview

Here is the overview for building a web site at IOCC.com Web Hosting:
  1. Establish an account
  2. Create menu categories (such as "Home", "Products", "Services", "Our People", "Locations", and "About Us") -- all the categories you need!
  3. Add pages to the menu categories -- all the pages you need to whichever category you want!
  4. Add paragraphs to the pages -- all the paragraphs and pictures you need on each and every page!
  5. Make payment arrangements and point your registered domain to IOCC.com's servers and you're online to the world.
We suggest you print these instructions for reference.

Step By Step

  1. Establish an account at IOCC.com Web Hosting. Enter basic contact information (see the bottom right corner of this web page) for your web site. Click the "Save" button.
  2. Click the link to login to your account and you are automatically taken to the Setup Menu. After the first time, go to http://webhosting.iocc.com/login to login and then choose "Setup" from the menu.
  3. At the "Setup" screen, click the "Add or Edit Menu Categories" link. Click the "Add Menu Category" link and type the "Name:" of your first category. This is usually "Home" or "General". Click the "Save Changes" button, then click the "Back to..." button. You'll see this category listed. If you want more menu categories, repeat this step to add each category. Examples of other categories are "Products", "Services", "Our People", and "Locations".
  4. Any time you are at the "Setup - Menu Categories and Their Pages" screen and have at least one category, you may click the "Add Page to 'your_category'" link. Type the "Page Title", and choose which "Menu Category" you want this page to appear under (and you can change it later). Click the "Save Changes" button, then the "Back to..." button. Add any number of pages to this menu category.
  5. Once you've added a "Page Title", you can click the link for that title on the "Setup - Menu Categories and Their Pages" screen. Under the heading "Paragraphs On This Page", click the "Add Paragraph" link. A paragraph may have a header (title), up to two pictures, text, and a hyperlink. The text can be short (one paragraph) or long (many paragraphs). Click the "+" icon to see a gallery of pictures that you've uploaded. Click the picture to add it to your page and choose the size (thumbnail, half size or full size). As usual, click the "Save Changes" button, then the "Back to Page Setup" button. You can have all the paragraphs you need on a page, so the amount of text or number of pictures is unlimited.

Notes for Building Web Pages with the IOCC.com System

  • The "Setup - Menu Categories and Their Pages" screen has up and down arrows to let you control the order of topics on the menu or the the order of pages on within a menu topic.
  • The "Setup - Page" screen has up and down arrows to let you control the order of paragraphs on a page.
  • The "Setup" screen has a link to "Upload Pictures". You can upload up to 10 pictures at a time. Each picture is saved in the gallery in three sizes: a full size (640 pixels wide), a half size (320 pixels wide) and a thumbnail (120 pixels wide). Pictures do not appear in the public "Gallery" link until they are included in a paragraph on a page. You may see the pictures when you click the "+" icon to add a picture to a paragraph.

Other Setup Screen Options

  • Basic Domain Information
    • Edit the basic information entered when establishing your account.
    • Enter a one-sentence description for your web site and enter comma-separated key words or phrases. These are used by search engines. If you desire, right-click on your web page and choose the option to view source code to see these items in the section of the HTML code.
    • Change your login or password
  • General Page Layout - Most of these items are self-explanatory. Contact IOCC.com if you need assistance with these options.
  • Specific Style Setup - This option is for experts only. It allows you to take control of the CSS style sheet elements for your web site. An examination of the source code "CLASS" statements reveals the use of these items. Contact IOCC.com if you need assistance with these routines.

How Could It Be Easier?

You may visit your web page in progress as often as you like and continue to work on it. Just go to http://webhosting.iocc.com/login .


When you are ready to take your site "live" to the world, activate your payment plan with IOCC.com and point the DNS for your registered internet domain to virtual.iocc.com (IOCC.com can help). When the DNS propagates (often in minutes), visitors will then be able to see your page without having to log in!
