Courses Plus Student 1,074 PointsCan you provide more information as to why your unable to upload your website?
Remember you want all files into the root directory and the folder structure as it is on your computer so that the code can find images etc.

Courses Plus Student 497 PointsI am using dreamhost with go daddy. When I look at the website on my browser it looks fine. Is there anything I am leaving out?

Courses Plus Student 1,074 PointsIf you've uploaded all your files onto the web host server and your website is displaying the way it was designed you've done everything correctly

Courses Plus Student 497 PointsNo, the uploading is what I am having a problem with. It display when I type in file:///Users/charm/Documents/Projects/Web/index.html but not the actual website.

Courses Plus Student 1,074 PointsYou need to use a FTP program such as cyberduck found at http://cyberduck.ch to transfer your files onto your webserver which is dreamhost, but to do this you need the login details from dreamhost, this should be found somewhere in the control panel area.. if you can't find it perhaps look in there FAQ or possibly ask there support team.
This directory file:///Users/charm/Documents/Projects/Web/index.html is for viewing your website locally on your computer only, not on the world wide web.
Once you manage to get your login details from dreamhost to access your hosting server space you'll be able to upload the files and then they'll display on the internet.
I hope this helped you out.
If you don't understand then I'd suggest you go to the "build a basic website" section and view the video files under "Launching the website" again as this will help you understand.
