Web page question server?

I have uploaded my web pages to my bosses server. but this is the first time ive ever done this. does my boss still need to purchase a hosting and domain name so i can make it a web site? how to i know?



Web page question server?





If you want to setup a website you%26#039;ll also want to purchase a domain name.



You mentioned you uploaded the files to his server is this where the website will be hosted from? If so you don%26#039;t need a host - that%26#039;s what this server would be for. Aslo, if hosting from this system make sure it has a static IP address.



In addition to the above you%26#039;ll need a dns record setup that points the domain name to this computer.



You can host the dns records on the same server if you want to but you%26#039;ll need to specify the IP address of the domain server (dns) with your registrar of your domain name.



I hope this helps - if you%26#039;re still confused feel free to email me.

Can you guys please critique my new website. newheightsdomains.com?

Webhosting with Godaddy question?

Hey I have the .htm file and its components complete, I bought the hosting and domain name package, went to FTP server and could not connect, is this even where I would be organizing the website layout? This is really new to me, thx for help.



Webhosting with Godaddy question?





Did you change the nameserver to point to godaddy, if yes allow 24-48 hours, then you can ftp, is ping domain.com working ?



Webhosting with Godaddy question?



FTP = File Transfer Protocall



Other Replys:From buying the domain to putting it on the host.



FTP - File Trasnfer Protocol



Is more difficult than a live install. Like using front page. see if your host offers such live changes.



FTP - What you will be doing is making changes on your computer and then transfering the files to the host.



If you connect with a program like front page or something that your host offers you can log on and make changes to the files that already exist on their server live.

Anybody Need A Website?

I am a student studying Web Design and I need to build some professional websites. If anybody knows of a business that needs one built, please let me know.



The business would have to pay for hosting and domain, but I would be willing to volunteer my services in order to build my resume.



Feel free to email me at sollinger04@yahoo.com.



Thanks

How do domains get their website on the internet?

I hope you understand this.



My e-mail address is me94@optonline.net if you%26#039;d like to contact me.



I would like to create a website and host my own domain. In other words, I would like to publish my own website with out using a website hosting provider.



What I want to know is:



How did Google get their web-page on the internet without paying a monthly/yearly fee to keep it running?



How do domains get their website on the internet?





They buy a server (or network of servers) and host it themselves.



How do domains get their website on the internet?



Basically you have to run your own webserver to match your domain name. However, that would mean you have to run the computer that runs your webserver 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.



Plus, depending on how fast your connection is to the Internet, if too many people visit you at once, your server will choke. That%26#039;s why it%26#039;s more cost effective to host it with a web host.



If you really do want to host for free, you can services like google apps. However, the service is limited and you can%26#039;t really design your site outside of their templates.



Other Replys:You have to use your own computer as a webserver a software was installed on windows 98 for that purpose but Windows XP has an option called IIS which you to enable from Add/Remove Programs %26gt; Add/Remove Windows Components there you will find IIS unchecked you have to enable that option and then start using your computer as a webserver. But for that purpose your computer must stay online 24/7 i.e. if you shut down your system after routine work then your website also goes down.



A better option for you would be to get a cheap domain %26amp; hosting if you need one then contact me at KhawjaShams555@hotmail.com am providing web hosting %26amp; domain %26amp; web design services professionally.



Other Replys:You are wrong in your assumption. Google pays a *fortune* in monthly/annual fees to connect to the internet.



For instance, when I ping Google, I go over my DSL provider%26#039;s lines to Alter.Net in Philadelphia, over their lines to Level3 in Washington, to Level3 in Chicago, where Google has a private line.



Google has a contract with Level3. Level3 has a contract with AlterNet. AlterNet has a contract with my DSL provider. There%26#039;s money passing hands with each contract.



The internet is organized with a lot of big peering centers around the world. In order to connect to the backbone, you need to rent space in a peering center - and *then* negotiate a peering deal with one or more of the backbone carriers. Alternatively, you can make a deal with someone who isn%26#039;t as well-connected, and it%26#039;ll probably cost you less - but your users will have more hops to arrive at your site, and that lag time will affect how responsive your site appears to be.



I have five servers in a world-class data center. There are multiple gigabit ethernet connections to multiple internet backbones. It%26#039;s not just that my hosting customers deserve fast, responsive websites. It%26#039;s also that my hosting customers deserve good hosting rates, and this is the least expensive way to provide good hosting.

Can you publish a website under .com, but also register it under .net and .org so nobody else can ta

I have a website that is just about ready to publish. The domain name I found is available under all three: .com, .net. ,org. I obviously would like it to be hosted on all three, but do I have to register and pay monthly webhosting fees on all of them seperately?. Can I just host it on the .com domain, but also pay the yearly fee to register the other domains without actually hosting them? I don%26#039;t want anyone to take the .net and .org domains. Thanks



Can you publish a website under .com, but also register it under .net and .org so nobody else can take it?





As above, but to clear things up for you hosting and having a domain name are different things.



Paying for hosting is paying a company to have the files that make up your website sit on there webserver. You pay them for the traffic that comes to your site, just like you pay for uploading and downloading on your home internet connection to your ISP. Essentially everyone that views your site is downloading the files that make up your website from your webhosting company.



Paying for your domain name is paying to have your particular site name listed on DNS (Domain name server), so when someone types in the address of your website the request goes to there from their home computer to their ISP which in turn sends it to a DNS which can convert the %26#039;english%26#039; message to a IP address (ie. googles ip address is http://64.233.169.147 try putting that into a browser)



You can pay to register your address under any domain you would like, each of these will then point the visitor to your webhosting companies server which hosts your files.



Can you publish a website under .com, but also register it under .net and .org so nobody else can take it?



Yes good answers, you have to purchase all domain names, and redirect all domain to your main website. You can learn about search engine optimization at http://www.freelance-seo-servi... Report It



Other Replys:~ Buy those names at a reasonable prize



~ You can froward those names in your official page



Know what I mean?



Other Replys:Yes you can.



You can purchase the domain name extenders just like your .com from your domain host company.



You can also set it when someone goes to the .com or .net or .org they get directed automatically to your main .com site regardless.



Check with your hosting company or whoever you got the domain name from.



Hopefully your other extenders are not taken by someone who will want to sell you the extender at a terrible price.

Other Replys:Dear Mike,



the answers above are correct, I just want to add following tip:



The 2nd and 3rd domain name should use a %26quot;301 redirect%26quot; to your original domain.



Otherwise search engines would try to index the additional sites separately and detect %26quot;duplicate content%26quot; of your original site, and that can become a serious danger for your search engine rankings.



This is in detail explained in http://www.hostingtech.com/?m=show%26amp;id=12...



Example:



http://www.Mercury-Consulting-Ltd.net is forwarded via %26quot;301 redirect%26quot; to http://www.Mercury-Consulting-Ltd.com



Good Luck for your Website!



Other Replys:You have to buy all the domains. Use .htaccess.



Other Replys:Buy the domains names and place a redirect to your main page. Your host can do that, if they don%26#039;t offer that service then - insert this code on your index page



%26lt;meta HTTP-EQUIV=%26quot;REFRESH%26quot; content=%26quot;0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html...



Good luck.

Membership, Password protection login for website?

Hi ive bought a domain, purchased a host package.



(basic beginners hosting)



I have used the host website builder for my website but im struggling.



1. I dont seem to be able to load any of my own buttons etc to use for hyperlinks. The host only provides taps at the top.



2. I want to set up a membership/login system but have no idea where to start. Any help would be really appreciated.



3. The webpages seem to start quite far across the page, for example there is a colum on the left of the page that does not let you type or put anything into it.. i cant work out why...



4. If i were to create my own webpages from my own web building software, how can i upload it to my domain? there doesnt seem to be a place that allows me to do this on my host.



sorry this is a long question...thanks



Membership, Password protection login for website?





1,3. Website builders are only good for really basic sites. I wouldn%26#039;t recommend using it. You can use graphical html editors such as dreamweaver or frontpage.



2. This can be done using a combination of PHP/HTML. Go to www.w3schools.com for good tutorials.



4. Your host most probably has FTP upload capabilities. Ask them if they do, and download FileZilla (an FTP client).



Membership, Password protection login for website?



%26gt;%26gt;1. I dont seem to be able to load any of my own buttons etc to use for hyperlinks. The host only provides taps at the top.



You need to ask them - are you using a WYSIWYG editor that they provide?



%26gt;%26gt;2. I want to set up a membership/login system but have no idea where to start. Any help would be really appreciated



A server side language (ASP, .NET, PHP) and a database (MS Access, MSSQL, or mysql) usually is the easiest. PHP is usually better on *NIX and ASP / .NET on Windows servers - what are you on?



%26gt;%26gt;3. The webpages seem to start quite far across the page, for example there is a colum on the left of the page that does not let you type or put anything into it.. i cant work out why...



Probably the WYSIWYG editor. Source code / URL would really help. You need to layout your site using divides or tables. Most use divides now but some people find using tables easier



%26gt;%26gt;4. If i were to create my own webpages from my own web building software, how can i upload it to my domain? there doesnt seem to be a place that allows me to do this on my host.



Most provide an FTP account to upload information. This would be better off if you asked them this question. There are thousands of hosting companies and each one has their own TOS and a way of doing things. But 99% of them will allow you to upload you own files. If you need a new hosting company - http://www.techevolution.com might be one to consider



Other Replys:Regarding #1, you%26#039;ll need to upload the buttons before you can access them. For example, create a directory called %26quot;img%26quot; upload your graphics to that directory and access them with %26lt;img src=%26quot;/img/button.png%26quot; /%26gt; (see answers to #3 and #4)



#2 - Membership system



You%26#039;ll either need to build one yourself, or purchase one.



Here are a couple to get you started,



Amember:

GenieGate:



http://www.geniegate.com/listings/dolphi...



Full disclosure, I own GenieGate.



#3 This is an HTML issue, the firs thing to do is work out the file names to their associated pages. For example, page.html.



Then edit page.html in a text editor or HTML editor, you should learn a little about HTML before doing this. (but see #4)



Actually, when you discover the hows and wheres of this, it%26#039;s really easy to do, but you have to take a few minutes and learn about ftp and such first, you%26#039;ll have understood why your own graphics aren%26#039;t being used for hyperlinks.



#4 - Check into your ISP%26#039;s ftp configuration, (or much *much* better, use sftp for security)



First step, get an (S)FTP program



Second step, ftp into your host. Often, this is the same as your domain name. (I realize this answer probably sounds like gibberish if you haven%26#039;t used ftp before.)



I recommend you get and explore ftp, the rest will make a LOT more sense after you%26#039;ve done that.
