Using Your Personal Website

All Hubris Communications dial-up and DSL accounts come with space for a personal web page. You can use this space to build a personal website or just to store files which you want to be publicly accessible.

Ways You Can Use Your Personal Website

Having a Personal website can be a powerful tool! A personal website allows you to place files in a place where the “world” can access them. For example, say you’ve have several pictures you want to share. Emailing them can take a long time, and it can be a potential annoyance to people who do not wish to receive large files. By placing the pictures in your personal website space on our servers, you can send people a much smaller link to the pictures instead of sending the pictures themselves. Your personal website is also a great space for practive if you are trying to learn HTML.

There are a few restrictions that apply to personal websites:

• Personal websites are limited to 12MB in size.
• Personal websites are for personal, non-commercial use only. If you would like to build a commercial web site, please contact Customer Service to find out about our virtual web accounts.
