Help with uploading a web page please?

i'm a complete novice. i have a hosting package and have written a basic homepage with html in notepad. i uploaded it into a folder called public_html on my ftp address that i was provided with. this worked fine but now i want to update it. i've repeated the process, deleted my orignal upload from the publi folder and placed my new html folder in but nothing has changed on my site. how do i update it please.





sorry if this is gobblegook, i'm a complete novice

If you are using an programming and uploading the file to the public_html, you shouldn't have any problems. I would check to make sure the file(s) have the exact name and extention (.html) it should (index.html for the main page) or that you are dropping it in to the right place (the main file).





Try refreshing the page in your browser also. What do you "see" online when you go to the page you've uploaded?

It sounds like you've performed all the right steps. Go to your browser, hold down Control and Shift, and while doing so click reload/refresh.





If that doesn't resolve the problem, did you have to do anything after your initial FTP to make the page display? You may have to repeat it every time you upload.
Reply:make sure that you've manually refreshed your browser. you could still have to old page cached locally in your browser. go the the your page's URL and then manually refresh with F5 or the refresh button. that should help.
