MIME Types

MIME Types

MIME types tell browsers how to identify specific extensions. For example, the text/html MIME type is the same as the .htm, .html, and .shtml extensions on most servers, and it asks the browser to interpret all files with these extensions as HTML files. MIME types are often used to identify new technologies as they appear. When WAP technology appeared, no one had these extensions configured on the server. However, with MIME types, you could have configured it yourself and started displaying WAP pages immediately.

Step 1 

Logged into your cPanel in the “ADVANCED” tab, locate the item “MIME Types”.


Step 2 

Now you must go to create a MIME type, now enter the mime type you want to create and in "Extensions" enter the extension(s) that it will interpret.


Step 3 

When finished, your MIME type will appear under “User-defined MIME types”.


Below, all MIME types already defined by the system are listed. Note These MIME Types cannot be changed or removed.
