What URL do I use to view my website or have I done something wrong?

I tried all the following URL with no success:
http://IP_address/home/usaearth/public_html/index.html
http://IP_address/usaearth/public_html/index.html
http://IP_address/home/usaearth
http://IP_address/home/usaearth/index.html

I dont know what to do. Please help

Thanks in advance

What did your host say when you asked them?

First, make sure you are putting your files into the www directory. not into the top level directory.

Second, you should use your domain name to view your website. It may not be possible to view your website using the IP address, depending on the server settings or if you have your own IP address (which is doubtful)

If it is enabled to view with IP Address, it will be in this format:

http://IP_ADDRESS/~username

Notice the tilde symbol in there
