Web Hosting, .html files?, please help ! Options

[nikx618]

okay, so i made a file on notepad, and saved it as a .html file.
right?
inside the .html file, is it just content? or is it the whole website template too?
like, do i copy the template EVERY time, i make a .html file, with different content?

&after i loaded the .html file to cPanel on 000webhost.com
i tried to make a link like this
<p><a class="menu" href="root/layoutspage.html" target="_self">layouts</a><br />
&it does not work, it shows

***Error 404 - The Webpage cannot be found

Most likely causes:

* You clicked a link that can be outdated
* You are trying to access file that does not exists on server
* Domain you are trying to access is not configured on this server (website was removed or is not setup or DNS has not propagated yet).***


i mean, wtf is with that. i loaded the .html file to the root directory, and it says it cannot be found.

anyone please help?
i'm going crazy. xP

You mean copying the template as in the layout for you site and stuff? If you're using html, then you probably have to. Otherwise, you could use PHP Includes. And the template will be in one place where you can edit it, rather than having to copy it to every page that you create.

Have you tried using the whole URL, like:

CODE

<p><a href="http://subliminalgreen.net76.net/root/layoutspage.html" class="menu" target="_self">layouts</a></p>
