WS 4 Uploading for other Hosting

 Return to WS 5.0 Home Page

 

This article is for customers who upgraded from WS 4.0 and use a hosting company other than iHostStudio.

The WS 4 Uploading Publisher is only for customers who upgraded from WS 4.0 and want to continue using the 4.0 publisher. If you updated from Web Studio 4.0, we recommend that you use the WS 5.0 Uploading publisher.

 

Using the new Web Studio 5.0 publisher will not affect links to your Home page that customers placed in their Favorites. Links to other pages in your website may be lost and customers may need to update their Favorites.
