Your public_html directory

The training server has been set up so that each user has their own web space underneath their home directory. All files which will be accessible via the web should be placed in the directory named public_html. This is common for most personal homepages.

The directory ~username/public_html on the Unix file system maps to the URL http://hostname/~username/ via the web. So if your login name is train03 and you are using the Netizen training server at training.netizen.com.au, you can access your web pages at http://training.netizen.com.au/~train03. Of course, you will need to replace both the hostname and username to match your specific setup.
