Other Replys:Once you have a domain name, I assume you also have a host? Two separate things, ya know. You should have an FTP address, userid, and password. Got those? Get%26#039;em!
Once you have those, got your .html or .htm files ready? Get%26#039;em.
The main one%26#039;s your index.htm. Some hosts (like Yahoo!) need the extension to be .html. Other hosts don%26#039;t mind if it%26#039;s .htm. Find out. Name accordingly. %26quot;index.htm%26quot; is the home page where your website calls arrive, but you already knew that, right?
Next, get an FTP program. Get ws_ftp or Filezilla or get Firefox and install its add-on named FireFTP. Open it up (whichever one or two or all three) you got and %26quot;set up an account%26quot; specifying a name for the account (any ol%26#039; name will do, like %26quot;Herbert Hoover%26quot;) and the host address (that%26#039;s the FTP address mentioned earlier and the userid and password. Check %26quot;remember password%26quot; to save yourself some grief and retyping later. Click Connect. Select Your folder and the host%26#039;s folder (actually, the host%26#039;s folder is already over there...) See, you%26#039;ve got a divided window in view, with a view of your folder in one and the host%26#039;s mostly empty, for now, folder, in the other. Select files in your folder, and there%26#039;s likely an arrow, click it, and copies of files will be transferred to the host.
Dah you go. When you%26#039;re happy, Disconnect. Exit
Other Replys:If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a %26quot;homepage%26quot; which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage.
Nevertheless, the %26quot;homepage%26quot; URL is likely to be %26quot;http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscribe... name%26quot; and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., %26quot;mydomain.com%26quot; which allows you to link any registered domain name to %26quot;mask%26quot; another website. For example, should you type in the %26quot;domain name,%26quot; you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... a homepage URL which will be masked by the domain name. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE.
Here%26#039;s a demonstration: Type in the URL window: %26quot;www.pizzanextdoor.com%26quot; which will bring up their pizza website. Take note of the domain name. Then type in the URL window: %26quot;http://home.pacbell.net/vten/1a/pizzame... and you will see that this is the original homepage which is unmasked without the domain name.
Good luck!
Other Replys:There are two principal steps to make your website on the internet and registering/booking a domain name is the number one.
A domain name builds the address of your site and can end in . com, . net, . org, . info, . us, . biz, . tv and further.
Directly afer you have registered your name, you will pick a web host (2nd step). The web host is the guts of any website as this is where you build and publish your pages, build purchase fillings, insert service and preserve your site.
How to Select the Best Domain Name
If being in the foremost search engines (Yahoo!, MSN, etc. ) is tremendously essential to you, I extremely urge you index a name that includes your major keywords as an alternative of your enterprise name.
Imagine about it. The normal visitor searches by theme, not by correct name. So why it may seem cool to have a name corresponding Jack%26#039;sLinux. com, you%26#039;ll wish to select a name that contains keywords that your intended spectators would likely use when they search.
So with that in thinking, a name like Begin-using-Linux. com would be much enhanced than Jack%26#039;sLinux. com. Sure, you can still list your corporation name on your web pages, but I think it%26#039;s more important to make sure the domain name consist of your eminent %26quot;search friendly%26quot; keywords if you want to receive traffic from all over.
No doubt, you can still register your firm name on the web site some area, but your domain name will consist of all the significant keywords you%26#039;ll want to be found with.
