To all web masters I have another question...?

I signed up for yahoo web hosting.. yahoo tells me I have also 100 sub domains with my plan. I Don%26#039;t really understand what a sub domain is and what it is used for. I tried different sites to get an answer but still don%26#039;t fully understand. The example yahoo gives is info@mydomain.net. Is a sub domain like a e-mail address. To you pro%26#039;s this may sound like a stupid question, but we all have to start at the beginning and I am eager to learn. I am sure some of you guys started out with a little bit of knowledge on these matters. Could someone please explain to me in plain english what a sub domain is and how I can use it for my website. Thanks you guys/gals

To all web masters I have another question...?

john.yourname.com

harry.yourname.com

lisa.yourname.com

those are subdomains.

To all web masters I have another question...?

Sub-domain...is like if you want to add someone else %26quot;www%26quot; address to your site.

Other Replys:A subdomain is a seperate area of your own domain. For example if you own mydomain.com your sub domains could be iown.mydomain.com news.mydomain.com yaddayadda.mydomain.com, forums.mydomain.com and the can be pointed to different areas of a web server or to do whatever you like with.

Other Replys:Think of sub domains like children in a family. You have the main domain, ie http://yahoo.com then you have sub domains like http://developer.yahoo.com or http://mail.yahoo.com

They are just easy ways to branch your website into different areas or in yahoo%26#039;s case, different services.

Other Replys:A sub domain gives a visitor direct access to a web page without going through the original homepage.

If you have a website called MyFamily.com the pages devoted to your son and daughter would look like:

OurSon.MyFamily.com and OurDaughter.MyFamily.com

However, you will have to direct visitors to the pages

originally called MyFamily.com/MySon.html and MyFamily.com/Mydaughter.html

Look under %26quot;redirect%26quot; in your webhosting pages. Sorry, but I%26#039;ve never done it in Yahoo, so I%26#039;m not sure what their procedure is, they use. The redirect takes about a day or so to be registered.

Website Design?

Hi,

I%26#039;m looking to design a basic website for my band as they%26#039;re doing pretty well locally now. I%26#039;m looking to do it my self. I have purchased a domain name but not yet a host. What are the next steps?

Does any one have any links to decent HTML guides etc (not too much reading).

Thank you.

Website Design?

You can learn HTML (I insist my website design students learn HTML first.)

I would go to:

http://www.w3.org

http://freehtmlbook.com

Learn the basics then use an editor to design the website.

(Much easier then designing a page in HTML!)

I use both FrontPage and Dreamweaver but they cost $.

NVu and Kompozer are free HTML editors and they are great for starting out.

When you look at hosting make sure you have enough space and bandwidth. I only host with services that provide a CPanel interface.

Upload your website to your hosting. (called FTP)

After you set up the hosting you set the DNS servers of your domain name to point to your hosting.

Now type in www.yourdomainname.com and you should see your website.

Website Design?

probably best to use a builder tool if you are looking to get a site up in the next few weeks or months.....

IE frontpage, dreamweaver etc.

but if you really want to learn HTML then i would start with

the site http://www.echoecho.com that is great for html and if you get a chance look for a book called

%26quot;HTML for the world wide web%26quot; by Elizabeth Castro

great learning and referance book that I still use even today.

http://www.amazon.com/World-Fourth-Visua...

Other Replys:You might play with the free PageBreeze (and look at the HTML produced):

http://www.pagebreeze.com/

Other Replys:You can start with a wysiwyg editor (what you see is what you get). Dreamweaver is an excellent example of this. It%26#039;s great to start off, but it adds some crummy code so you%26#039;ll want to learn at least the basics of html.

Good luck

Other Replys:Now buy web hosting from website like http://aplis.net/ and learn html from w3schools.com , upload index.htm and few other html files to your web hosting account.

How do I block myspace, tried using everything I know no luck.?

I have tried, via router like port and IP settings, Domain or URL blocking, even tried hosts editing via system32 and Browser blocking no luck. All you have to do is access a web proxy server there alot of proxy servers or someone can just email you a link to myspace. You can access myspace or other websites that are blocked. Thanks!

How do I block myspace, tried using everything I know no luck.?

Yes, the only thing you can do is try to filter out as many proxies as possible but those keep changing. I do not know how your network(s) are configured but can you block port 80 for the offending users?

How do I block myspace, tried using everything I know no luck.?

Sorry man you%26#039;re outta luck there%26#039;s always ways to get around blocking systems. You can mess with your registry and make it so you can%26#039;t change the proxy but that can be edited back just as easily.

Register my business?

I just purchased a domain name, and am about to host my website. Let%26#039;s pretend for now that in 5 years my website will be just as popular as amazon.com - do I need to %26quot;register%26quot; my business in any government type form? If so, what are the steps? Link to article if possible.

Thank you!

Register my business?

If you%26#039;re going to sell anything, you should register your business. Go to your state%26#039;s official website and click on the BUSINESS link.

I am new to the whole website thing. How do I set one up?

I have registered a domain name, and set up a host. is there anything else I need?

How do I start putting stuff on there- Microsoft frontpage?

I am new to the whole website thing. How do I set one up?

Hi there.

Let me be the first - of many - to warn you off of using frontpage. Frontpage isn%26#039;t even supported or recognised by Microsoft anymore, and that%26#039;s a symptom of how universally derided it is by any web designer worth their salt.

If you use frontpage, you will get a website no doubt. The problem is it will be replete with oudated, obsolete and downright inefficient %26#039;markup%26#039; - the actual HTML used to write pages. This could be fine, depending on your purpose for building a site. If it%26#039;s a simple personal website, and you already have frontpage, then maybe go for it - but in that case you might also be better off investigating some simple blagging software such as Word press.

If on the other hand your intentions are a little more professional and you actually want to learn how to write good markup, you%26#039;ll need something better. Dream weaver is the industry standard, it can still do WYSIWYG design (what you see is what you get) but the quality of it%26#039;s coding is significantly better and up to date (though it has to be said it%26#039;s not perfect). Crucially, this will lead you to a better understanding of the markup itself, which will enable you to quickly learn to hand code websites using nothing more than notepad if so desired.

It%26#039;s a steep learning curve. Above all, get acquainted with good forums such as www.codingforums.com where the members are only to happy to help beginners with any questions. They will also be able to direct you to further resources such as step by step beginners guides.

EDIT : In reply to the above poster - the homepage does NOT have to be index.htm or .html - it can be anything you desire including another language such as PHP (.php) or even a different name (eg, home.html) providing you set this up in a .htaccess file.

I am new to the whole website thing. How do I set one up?

read some tutorial from websites and learn or search on google. You sould first learn HTML and then PHP. ThanQ

Other Replys:You Need to know how you can upload files to your server it could be by http or ftp that depends of your host, also you need to know in which folder you need to put your content, the front page always needs to be index.htm, index.html also depends in your host config.

Other Replys:read tutorials on the web

Why can't I FTP to my server from my own computer?

This is a very strange thing. I recently just got a domain name and some server space hosted by a friend. When I was at home, everything worked great, I could upload files using FTP and all that. Then, I moved back to school (I%26#039;m a college student) and for some reason, the same settings, user/pass I used at home don%26#039;t work on my computer at school. The connection just times out when I try to FTP to my server. However, it works on any other computer besides my own. The website isn%26#039;t down or anything either, it works fine and loads fine when I access it. It%26#039;s just FTPing to it. I%26#039;m running Windows XP, and typically use Filezilla to upload files.

Why can%26#039;t I FTP to my server from my own computer?

if the server is working and it works everywhere else, maybe your FTP software got corrupted somehow - possibly a file or 2 got deleted accidentally or the registry is messed up or something?

Why can%26#039;t I FTP to my server from my own computer?

It sounds like it may be a global computer issue rather than a software issue. Making FTP work can be difficult. Can you FTP to any site? (Try ftp.cdc.gov). One easy thing to check is the difference between active and passive FTP access. This is controlled for Windows by the IE %26#039;Tools - Internet Options - Advanced%26#039; checkbox. You might also try searching the web for %26quot;FTP troubleshoot%26quot; as there are good resources out there. Also, there is a good description of how FTP works on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transf... - that may help.

Web site design, is there a free no ads professional way to do it?

I have recently started a company and need to get my web site up and running. Whats the best way to do it. I have designed the pages in MS Word just as a starting point, have down loaded different web page design software Serif Web Plus for one and they seem limited in what you can do. What is the best software to use on a budget. I also have registed my domain name but they do not host websites, where do I upload my website to and is there a cost?

Web site design, is there a free no ads professional way to do it?

Hell nobody spoke about Google Apps For Your domain. It offers you not only free hosting but also provides you upto 200 or more Email IDs at your domain.com (Gmail style, with lot of other features like Google page creator, calendar, Google Talk, start page etc). If you already have a domain name, you just have to visit at http://google.com/a and register for your domain. If you don%26#039;t have a domain name yet then you can purchase a domain name for $10.

You can read the Help documents there. In case you have any issues with setting up your account you can join Google group for more help.

In case you are just looking for a free ad-free host you can check out the list at http://www.free-webhosts.com/

Hope this helps

i doubt u will find a free host with no adds ... but for a few bucks a month u can ...

Other Replys:if your mate has a real website then ask him nicely and he can make a free sub-domain for you that will surely have no ads.

Other Replys:try servage.net

theyre cheap and good if u want proffesional pages try making a google account u can then use googlepages to make ur site and it will automatically be placed on the internet you can then just use ur domain name to redirect it to there...... if u need an invite for a google account just email me kk...... :)

Other Replys:A domain with hosting at a minimum level will cost around $50 per year. As for the design and development, you can spend a little or a lot.

Other Replys:yes it already free, with a limited edtion of a program call FRONTPAGE which works like a publisher, this comes free with windows.

hope this helps

Other Replys:For maximum flexibilty in design, I would recommend trying to learn/understand the building blocks of a web page. These are namely HyperText Markup Langauge (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Generally the advice is to put your content with the HTML and then position it with CSS. Take a look at http://www.w3.org and http://www.w3schools.com for some advice.

If you learn the HTML and CSS then you can just use Notepad/Textedit to build your site - they come free with Windows/MacOSX.

Other Replys:at 1and1.com you get 3 domains and 100gb of webspace

Other Replys:If you have an internet connection, there is a good chance that you have some %26#039;web space%26#039; allocated to this account.

You domain provider will have some way of pointing the domain name at your webspace..

Look for things like ftp settings - this is how you upload to your webspace

and your url - where you go to look at your webspace.

Other Replys:I found http://webstarts.com/ Is the easiest program to use you can host your website and edit it very easy and whenever you need to it also has a drag and drop interface for easy use.
