Test your web site by entering the URL into your browsers address window. Check that all links function properly.

How to Set Up Filezilla for Joomla!

Double-click on the FileZilla icon or select it from the start menu. FileZilla will start and display the local hard disk directory structure on the left side of the window.
Enter the domain name of your website or the IP address in the 'Host' field. Do not include the 'http://' part of the address, just the domain name. For example, 'mycoolsite.com' is a domain name and '192.168.2.1' is an Internet Protocol address. If your domain name hasn't been assigned yet, use the IP address provided by your hosting company.
Fill in the 'Username' field at the top of the screen with your FTP user name. Use the exact spelling and character case as the FTP user name issued by your hosting service provider.
Enter your FTP password in the 'Password' field at the top of the screen. Use the exact spelling and character case as the password issued by your hosting service provider.
Enter the FTP port number in the 'Port' field if your hosting provider uses a port other than 21. Most users will leave this field blank as 21 is the default port. Only enter a port number if your hosting provider uses a port other than 21.
Click on the 'Edit' menu, then click on 'Settings.' Select 'File Types' under 'Transfers' on the left side of the settings window. Click the 'Binary' radio button on the right side at the top of the window. This setting ensures that binary files such as archives and backup files transfer properly. If such files are accidentally treated as ASCII files, they may become corrupted during transfer. Having this set correctly is especially important for uploading Joomla! installation files, Joomla! extension packages and downloading backup files.
Click on the 'OK' button at the bottom of the settings window to save the settings. Click the 'Quick Connect' button to the right of the host, username, password and port fields previously entered. FileZilla will connect to your Joomla! website root directory on the server and display the file structure in the right side of the window.
Click on the 'File' menu, then click on 'Copy Current Connection to the Site Manager.' This saves your settings and allows you to select them the next time you use FileZilla from the Site Manager. Just click 'File' then 'Site Manager' or press 'Ctrl - S.'

How to Save a Domain Name

Jot down on a notepad the different ideas you have for a domain name with a pen. Create a couple of different variations in case one version is already taken.
Turn on your computer and connect to the Internet once the operating system is fully loaded. Start up your Internet browser software and connect to a domain registration service.
Check the who-is search engine at the registration service website if your name has already been taken. Input the name from your notepad and select search. Wait for the service to tell you if the name is available as a new domain. Confirm that you want to register the name as your own if it is confirmed as available.
Input your contact information and payment tool data as you register your account with the registration service. Confirm how long you want to keep the domain in your account. Pay the fee via credit card or online payment tool account. Wait for the registration service to register the new domain address in your name.
Decide whether you want your new domain to just sit undeveloped or if you want to develop it into a website as well.

How to Recover Deleted Web Pages

Gather all of the information pertaining to your website, such as your domain name, as well as the information for the administrative contact person who is over the administration of the website.
Contact the company that is hosting your website. Provide it with your domain name and administrative contact information.
Advise the company you deleted a Web page and would like to recover the deleted file. Most Web hosting companies back up all of their website pages. The company will be able to look up the file you deleted on the backup server and restore it into your file directory. It is best to contact your Web hosting company as soon as possible after deleting the Web page to increase your chances of getting the page restored.
Use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to look up your deleted Web page if you do not want to go through your Web hosting company. By going to Internet Archive Wayback Machine, you can type in the domain name for your website. The Internet Archive Wayback Machine will then pull up all website pages that have been associated with the website, no matter how old they are. This is great if you would like to go back and see a Web page that was deleted many years or months ago.
Click on the page of your website that you would like to recover through the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Click on the 'View' option from the menu bar of your Internet browser. Select the 'Page Source' option. Copy all of the HTML coding associated with your deleted Web page from the page source.
Paste the copied HTML code from the page source into the HTML editor of your website. Save your work. You should now be able to view your Web page. Some of the graphics might not be in place anymore, but all of the textual aspects of the Web page should still be in tact. You will have to upload new graphics.
