Create Custom MIME Types
Summary
MIME types allow you to change how the browser handles files with specific extensions types. This may be useful if you want to change the default action a web browser performs when a file is accessed. This article will explain how to use mime types with Bluehost India web servers.
Creating a MIME Type
To create a MIME Type you can login to your account and use the Mime Types tool availible in the cPanel.
- Log in to your Bluehost India cPanel account.
- Go to the cPanel section.
- Under the Advanced click on the Mime Types icon.
- On the MIME Types page, under the heading Create A MIME Type enter the MIME type you want to use and the file extension associated with it.
