Question about host

[cyprusTM]

I just bought hosting from Hawk. and i want to know if all thouse folders are necesary. because it kinda looks like a mess.

in the www folder there are a bunch of folders and i was wondering if it can be cleaned up, or are thouse necessary for host/site to run?

right now i havent uploaded anything on server yet.

Every folder except for cgi-bin are used by frontpage. If you have no plans on using frontpage extensions then you can delete the folders. The two HTML files used are also not needed they are information files.

hi there just to clarify, EVERTHING inside the www folder can be deleted, bar the cgi-bin folder & htacess file ? if frontpage not needed?

You can remove the cgi-bin/ and .htaccess folder/file if you like. If you plan on running any CGI scripts then you'll need the cgi-bin/ folder .

You can also go into cPanel, and disable front page extensions which will also remove the frontpage related folders. That's what I did on my account.
