Obtain a form script from your web host provider or from a free, online resource like Hot Scripts or Stadtaus.com (see Resources). Place this script on your host account (if needed) in the same directory where you keep your other website files and make a note of this URL location. A script processes the data submitted from the order form and delivers it back to you.
Launch your text editor program and create a new document or open an existing file. Place your cursor anywhere underneath the '
' tag where you want your order form to appear.
Type in the beginning '' tag at the end of the form code. Save your file with an '.html' ending (extension) when finished.

How to Change Hosting Services Without Losing Email InformationIn Feburary 2016 27,
In Feburary 2016 27,
Start a new account with the web hosting service of your choice, but do not close your account with your current host. Otherwise, you risk permanently losing your website and email information.
Make a note of every email account hosted on your website. Write down each email address–and password if you want to keep them the same–or type them in a file and save the file. Keep this information private so that no one can access your email accounts without your permission.
Back up your website. Access the backup tool on your user panel with your current hosting service and select the options necessary to do a complete site backup, rather than any kind of partial backup. Save the resulting file on your computer.
Access the backup tool on your user panel with your new hosting service. Select the option to upload a complete site backup. Find your site backup, upload it and select the option to complete the backup upload process.
Create all the same email accounts you have on your current server on your new server. Use the passwords you saved in step 1 if you wish to keep them the same, or make up new passwords if you prefer. Be sure to use passwords that you will remember but that would be difficult for someone else to guess.
Close your account with your current hosting service.

How to FTP Between Two ComputersIn Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Note the address of the FTP server. This address can either be a host name or an IP address. A host name will be similar to one you use to access a website. An IP address will be similar to 192.168.1.1, although your numbers will vary.
Determine whether a user name is required to login to the FTP server. FTP sessions may either require a name or they may be anonymous. If no name or password has been provided, assume it is anonymous FTP.
Make a note of the password required for your FTP access to the remote server. If it is anonymous FTP, you will not need a password.
Connect with an FTP Client
Attempt an FTP connection using your web browser. Most browsers support FTP connections. Type 'ftp://192.168.1.1/path/filename' in the address bar of your web browser. Substitute the actual host, domain, path and file name that you have been provided.
Connect with a command line FTP client. Both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X support FTP from the command prompt. Open a command prompt in Windows, or use the Terminal application in OS X. In both, type 'ftp' from the command prompt to access the FTP client.
Download a free graphical FTP client. If you plan to use FTP regularly, a graphical client can simplify the process. Some of the most popular FTP clients include WinSCP for Windows, Cyberduck for Mac OS X, or CrossFTP for either operating system.

How to Change the Default Rendering on SSRSIn Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Locate the report you will be creating a link to using the ReportServer portal in SSRS. Typically, this is found at http://servername/ReportServer. The interface will be minimal, but will display the same folders and reports as the Report Manager.
Copy the URL. Note that the URL may contain several parameters, but the part to look for is the report path, which can be found between the '?' and the first '&', if any exists. In the following example, the report path is '/Folder/Report%20Name':http://servername/ReportServer?/Folder/Report%20Name&rs:Command=Render
Create a new URL using the report path with some additional parameters to specify the rendering format. The 'rs:Format' parameter specifies the rendering format for the report. The following values are common for a default installation of SSRS: HTML4.0, MHTML, IMAGE, EXCEL, PDF and CSV. The 'rs:Command' parameter set to 'Render' instructs the report server to render the report in the specified format.For example, for a URL that always renders the report as a PDF document, use the following:http://servername/ReportServer?/Folder/Report%20Name&rs:Format=PDF&rs:Command=Render
Render a report as an Excel document this way:http://servername/ReportServer?/Folder/Report%20Name&rs:Format=EXCEL&rs:Command=Render

How Do I Upload My Own Music Onto My Website?In Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
Access the web host that services your website and place your MP3 file in the same folder that contains your other web page files. This folder is typically found in the 'Index' or 'Main' directory. Click a button, such as 'Browse,' to select the file from your computer and add it. Make a note of the URL address location (for example, yourdomain.com/music.mp3).
Launch your text editor and place your cursor in the area on the page where you want your music to appear.
Type in the 'anchor' code containing the URL address from step 1. An 'anchor' creates a connection between your music file and website. For example:
http://www.yourdomain.com/music.mp3'>
Enter content, such as the name of your song, and follow this with a closing '' anchor element. This code creates a hyperlink on your page, which typically appears in blue and with an underline. When a visitor clicks this prompt, she hears your music play. For instance:
Name'>http://www.domain.com/music.mp3'>Name of Song
Save your file and place it back on your web host to publish the uploaded music on your page.

How to Block an HTTPS ProxyIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Select a web filter to install on your server. Filters such as Safe Squid, Wingate or Guardian Web Filter will identify proxy servers that attempt to identify your network, and will process those requests according to your instructions. Content filters, such as Allegro Surf, can also be used, by setting them to block the word 'proxy.'
Verify that your web filter is compatible with your operating software. Note that if your operating system is newer than the one required by the product, you will be able to use it; problems will occur, however, if you attempt to run a new product on an outdated operating system.
Install the software to your computer and select your options for how to process connections. Click on the option which checks the direct web access or use the firewall to allow only certain known sites. In the 'Web Filters' tab, enter names of the web pages that you want to block or ban. You can also name specific websites that you use for browsing. This prevents unwanted websites from hacking your information. It also stops redundant applications from downloading into your system.

How to Transfer Files Between Two FTP ServersIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Open your FTP program.
Connect to the server hosting your file. Log in with your username and password.
Find the file you want to transfer. Make note of its location.
Connect and log in to the receiving server. Make sure you haven't broken your connection to the first server.
Find the folder in which you want the file to be located on the receiving server.
