Creating a Website
Web Hosting
In order to create a website you need to get a web host to put your website on the internet. There are 3 types of web hosts they are paid hosts, free hosts with advertisements, and hosting where you have to post in forums to pay for the hosting.
Paid Host
With paid hosts you pay a monthly fee to have your website hosted. They give you a certain amount of bandwidth, storage space etc. I would reccomend dreamhost they offer a lot of bandwidth and storage space. They cost $10.00/month
Free Hosting With Ads
Another alternative is to have a webhost that forces you to put ads on your website in exchange for it being free. I would reccomend bravenet for this because they are easy to use and have a lot of extra features.
Post for Host
The third and final form of hosting is post for host. This web hosting is free, but in exchange for it being free and with it not having ads you have to post in thier forum. One of the best post to host sites in my opinion is theicy.net. They require 10 posts per month for their cheapest plan and more posts per month for their other plans.
Website Creation Proccess
HTML
Most websites are made using html. Html is a scripting language used to create a website. If you want to create a website you have to either use html or use a wysiwyg. It's better if you can learn html but if you don't want to learn html you can use a wysiwyg instead. It is still a good idea to have a basic understanding of html or at least to know a little html.
Wysiwyg
Wysiwyg stands for what you see is what you get. What a wysiwyg does is it allows you to create a website without using html or having any knowledge of html. It works similar to microsoft word where you type in what you want to do and click some buttons and then your done. Their are many wysiwygs. The most well known is dreamweaver. Unfortunately you have to pay for dreamweaver. There are however free wysiwygs. One of the wysiwygs that I use is called Eversoft First Page. It works very well and it is free.
