Xtreme 6 - Magix Web Hosting ?

[jclements]

Wondering if anyone in the know could "leak" an answer to whether or not the free Web Hosting of 500MB will be available with the XaraXtreme 6 release?

The offer is open regardless:

I signed up without ever being asked if I owned any Xara or Magix software.

This is what the Magix website says:

Whether you build your websites with MAGIX Xtreme Web Designer 5, MAGIX Xtreme Photo & Graphic Designer or with other website software – all you have to do at the end is upload to your MAGIX free webspace and your website will be published in the Internet and available for viewing at your webaddress

Finally managed to get FTP to login.

Have registered with Magix and can get my website to open in the route directory of the /public web address but cannot seem to get anything to show in a separate sub directory.

FTP client will create it and transfer to it, but when I try to browse to the /public/sub-directory, the browser just comes up with a 404 error.

Have looked and looked to see if you're restricted to the route directory only, but it's a pretty confusing place with online web site creation, online albums and paid for services, which all conspire to make it awkward to know what's what.

Does anyone know if sub-directories ( and hence multiple index.htm files) are allowed?

Thanks.

OOps ... sorry, maybe this should be in the Web section?

Sub-folders are fine so long as you have a trailing slash
eg; http://sledger.magix.net/public/a1/

I would not recommend using the service for anything other than testing purposes. It also appears that SE's are blocked.

You get what you pay for..

I spent last weekend attempting to put a site up on magic(x) web space and all I got were jumbled and or missing pages. The same site, uploaded elsewhere, went up without any problem.
As Steve said, you get what you pay for.

Yep, same here... Unreliable and not to be taken seriously if you are serious about having a site to be seen.

I was just using it to show a few test pages to a client, I'll know better next time.
