21) Go to http://yoursite.com/FreeGift1.html in Your Browser, Your free gift page should come up-
(NOTE: It may take up to a few hours for the DNS part we did in step 3 to have your site visible online. However it usually happens in just a few mins. If you can’t see it, check your capitalization, and make sure your FreeGift1.html is that exact name, with that capitalization-
HINT: If You have any hangups while working on this uploading, getting the site up, go to http://hostgator.com and click Live Chat Support at the Top Right- they are very good and can help guide You!-
