What's a Web Site?
A Web
site is just a place where a collection of web pages or
html documents are located.
Here's an article to help you Visualize A Web Site
There
were around 16 million of them as of early 2003. You can
design and setup a website of your own fairly easily in
as little as a day or two. I am going to walk you
through the steps that you will need to follow, giving a
little explanation along the way.
If
you can type a letter in Microsoft Word, you can be live
on the Web in 2 Days.
You can
create a page in Word and then save it as an webpage. It
will have an extension of .htm or .html. That's a
webpage. If you already have a Word document that you
would like to have on a web site, just open it in Word
and save it as a web page. Put it on your webserver and
you are live, on the Internet.
Microsoft FrontPage makes it easy
and mostly automatic to get your website "published" to
your web host. It keeps up with all the webpages,
images, navigational linking and sends everything that
is needed to your host. It knows what needs to be
saved and reminds you if you forget.

How
about domain names?
You
don’t have to have your own domain name to have a
website on a webserver somewhere else. You can use the
domain name owned and hosted by someone else. Geocities
is an example of this. You use their domain name with
some variation such as a subdomain or a subdirectory.
Here’s a couple of examples.

http://johnawilson.ms11.net
But
these addresses tell the visitors that it is probably a
free site and they judge you on that basis. You will get
more respect if you have your own domain name.
Domain
name prices can range from around $9 to $60 or more.
Names are
generally registered or one or two years. We offer
Domain Name Registration through an affiliation with
GoDaddy.Com. The charge is $8.75 for one year. Just enter the
name of the domain that you would like in the box below.
Check Domain Name Availability
Here. What domain name
would YOU like? See if it's available.
You have the option of getting a
FREE basic hosting account. Since it's free, it will
have ads placed on it to pay for it. You might want to
use this if you are just starting so you can see how
things work. But for a few dollars a month you can get
hosting WITHOUT ads.
Ok, now
that you have the domain name, you need to also tell the
registrar where you will be hosting your web site.
Notify your Domain Name
Registrar about the Name Servers.
You give
them the address of the hosting company’s nameservers
(usually two of them) . The name servers addresses will
have names like other web sites. Here's info for my
recommendations:
Your registrar will usually have a special form on their website
in which to enter the nameserver information. You
usually find it under something like “Manage Your
Domain”. or "Set NameServers".
The registrar then, will publish this information and it
will slowly travel (propagate) through
the Internet. Actually new
information is transferred from one connecting device
(Routers) to another automatically until it is said to
have “propagated” throughout the internet. This just
means that anyone can now find your website by typing
its address into their browsers. This propagation
process takes from 24 to 48 hours to complete.
The hosting company's nameservers
will make the connection to your site.
You’re
done. That is, you have your web site’s html pages
created, you have them “uploaded” to the webserver. You
have a domain name which becomes the address of the
site.
Now just
tell the World about your new website by getting your
site listed in the search engines and maybe running some
ads.
