Making a website? what is needed?
That%26#039;s a lot to learn. Just start reading about it, and searching for articles. A good forum is webmasterworld.com. If you want to start a community site without having to know how to do the back-end stuff, try www.zzaazz.com, you can have forums, blogs, wikis, etc.
Other Replys:Hi there,
There are many pieces of website development. I%26#039;ll put it all together for you.
1. You make the website on your computer. This can be as simple as a few HTML files and some links, right up to powerful interactive websites with database connectivity.
2. You get someone with dedicated computer (server) to put your created websites files out there available for people on the Internet. This is called hosting. there are many hosting options for you to research when it becomes applicable.
3. Domain name registration. The Host site will give you a site that says somthing like www.WebHostingSolutions.com/yourWebpage
which sucks really, so you get a Domain name like
www.yourwebsite.com and that will link to the host.
So whats FTP? FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. You need it generally when you want to put (transfer) your files onto the hosts computer. There is many software clients which do this, just do a google search.
What else to you need to learn? Nothing much, some web development training or tutorials would go a long way.
Hope this enlightens you a little
Other Replys:You can start easily with a web editor like front page 2000 or the popular free NVU. Then maybe start by signing up with a free host (e.g. Netfirms Basic - but there are many, e.g. the popular http://www.110mb.com/, many which have their own free web editors). Then upload your site to your host (use a free FTP program to upload your site - e.g. core FTP). Then you can promote it in forums, search engines, directories, etc, if you want.
You could start with a blog as well, e.g. try blogger, or use the simple Google Page Creator (You need a Gmail account) - easy to set up for a beginner.
Later on though, it might pay to learn html/JavaScript/PHP etc, which allows more flexibility to design and modify your web site. Then maybe upgrade to a paid host and domain, which will possibly yield more features (scripting, bandwidth, increased storage space, email accounts, etc) and more ownership of your site...
Other Replys:Hi,
When choosing a web host it%26#039;s of course important to consider the cost (some hosting can be very expensive) but here are some other important things you should take into consideration too:
Web Hosting Space: Some web hosts will only give you 500MB or so of space. This could be a concern if you are looking at creating large websites.
Bandwidth: Some web hosts will severely limit the bandwidth you can use before you incur extra charges.
Uptime: There%26#039;s no point in having a website if people can%26#039;t see it. Does your web host offer at least a 99% uptime guarantee?
Number of websites allowed: If you%26#039;re looking to host more than one website on your account, will your web host charge you more to do this?
Support: If you have any problems you need to be able to contact your web host quickly and easily to get the problem sorted.
I have used Hostgator as my web host for over two years now and have been very very impressed with them. Firstly they%26#039;re very cheap but still give me more web hosting space and bandwidth than I%26#039;ll ever need, the ability to host unlimited websites, a 99.9% uptime guarantee and great customer support. You can find them at http://www.webhostgator.info
