How Do I link domain name with other pages

can't type "/event.html" and reach info on page

[shellye]

Hi there! This is my first time on this site, so forgive me if this question has been asked and answered. I couldn't seem to find an answer.

Could anyone tell me how to make different webpages accessible from my domain name? For example: my website is example.com. You can type that in fine, but if you wanted the "events" section, it will not let you type example.com/events.html and get to the page. When you go to that page, it will not show it in the URL section. It just says example.com. Is there anyway to change this?
When I send my e-mail newsletter, I want to be able to put a link that people can click on and go directly to that page. Since I can't put the "/event.html" or "/resources.html" they are having to go through the who website to get to the information they want.

My website comes up as a number. The company that I purchased the domain name from re-directs it to the url number. I did not know if the poblem lies with the company I have redirecting or if it is something internal.

I pray this makes sense!

Thanks for any assistance that you can give me.

shellye - your site is designed using 100% framesets so the links are causing the main frameset to load with the events page in the body frame. I poked around a bit and can't see any reason for you site to have frames. You should just change your site to regular pages.

The only reason I can think of that the site is built this way is that the your host only points example.com to your index page and all subsequent pages are referenced via the IP address and port number. This would cause all your pages other than the index page to be 111.222.333.444:555/page.html etc.

I'd either get your host to fix this or find a new host.

oh - welcome to WebmasterWorld :)

Thank you for the response.

I created the webpage with a software program. I am trying to teach myself that CSS, but it is a slow process.

If the page is changed will that help it or is it still a hosting problem?

Thank you for your time and thank you for the welcome.

it appears to be a hosting issue - 111.222.333.444/events.html and example.com/events.html should still point to the same place.

start with losing the frameset - that will take a significant complication away for you.
