Within the Home Directory you will find a folder named www.

This is the most important folder in your Home Directory because this is the directory your visitors will access with their browsers.
This is where you will place your web pages, graphic files, sound files, and any other items you want your visitors to have access to on your website.

For example, when a browser asks for URL http://yourname.com/page.html, Apache looks for the file /home/yourname/www/page.html and sends it out.

If you have not registered your own Domain Name "yourname.com" with Spunkyworld or any other Domain Name Registrars, then the remote browser must ask for the IP# instead of the domain name. The URL is http://255.255.255.255/page.html to get the page. Where you have to replace 255.255.255.255 with your assigned unique IP#.
