What directory and file names are acceptable?
Since your website will run on top of a Linux operating system, all files names are case sensitive. In other words, the file name “faq.html” is NOT the same as “FAQ.html”. If your HTML code references a faq.html, but the actual file name is in uppercase, this will result in a File Not Found error. This applies to directory names as well. To prevent errors, we suggest naming all files in lowercase. Spaces and and special control characters are generally not a good idea. The underscore character (“_”) is acceptable. You should avoid special characters (e.g. ! @ # $ % ^ & * : ‘) in file names. We suggest that you keep the length of file names to a minimum. The tilde (~) cannot be used in directory or file names.
