What is the software program provided by Verizon to create your personal webpages? (Ex. Earthlink provides a software named Trellix)

you can host a site from here for free on verizon http://verizon.net/mywebspace  it will be at http://mysite.verizon.net/~username.  Log into that site for more information.

Verizon's Site Builder tool is a Trellix product. It is a browser based tool. Verizon does allow you to create and upload your site via a 3rd party FTP client, but if you create a site this way it will NOT be supported by Verizon. (They only support sites created with their Site Builder.)

The default URL of your page is always http://mysite.verizon.net/username - sites created after the initial one will be created as sub pages, and you can choose what the sub directory is called. (Meaning sites after the first are http://mysite.verizon.net/username/whatyouputhere ) You are given 5, 10, or 20 MB (depending on your service level) of free web space with a Verizon internet account.

Verizon offers additional webspace at a monthly cost, up to an additional 500 MB. Verizon also offers a product called "Verizon Your Domain" which allows you to pick a custom domain for your site and have up to 9 email addresses associated with it.

More information about these services can be found here. You'll have to sign into your existing Verizon acccount to access it.

Hope this helps!

If you go to the site builder page and click on the FTP Server link. If will provide information on uploading your page through FTP. YES FTP. The sitebuilder or web server does not support Front Page Extensions, as noted on the FTP Server information page. Here is the URL that I was on when viewing the information. This link was after I logged into the sitebuilder. It used to work but I have not tried it in a while.
