This page is provided for information and as a guide only. Some ISP linking rules may differ from what is written here, but check it out with the webmaster at you local ISP.

Usually there is a request to the ISP to provide web space. This space is not always added until it is formally requested, by email.
Check out the users page, search for a link that says how to add my page or something about FTP. Once your web space has been added, you will need to design a web page to place on the server. This page usually carries the name of index.htm and is supposed to be written before a link is requested.
The index.htm file is the file that loads by default when your directory is accessed via the web. You may name it anything you want but usually index.htm is the standard. ie. www.yourisp.com/~username/ would load the index.htm file located in this users directory.

Once you have your page created you can place it on the server via a program usually provided called FTP. Again check out the users page for a how to use an FTP program. It will contain all the necessary information on how to set up the FTP client.

Once your page has been placed on the server, an email message to either webmaster or addweb or some similar email address requesting a link to the users page, giving both the web site title and your user name.Usually if you don't supply a Web site title no page link will be provided.

NOTE ! Sending multiple messages to the webmaster does not ensure you a link any quicker. Adding links is usually done on a as necessary schedule or sometimes once a week depending on the amount of links to be added.
