A relative novice when it came to
Internet, not too long ago I didn’t have a clue where to start when trying to create a website or why I had need for one. Luckily though, with time and practice, it became apparent.Having a website has advantages, providing solutions to a wide range of everyday problems. Websites can be used as a personal identity to promote you or what you offer, to world, be it global, local or personal.
Web hosting, where one puts a web presence and stores it along with pictures, pages and 'tricks'. As a novice I felt need to have things explained to me in simplest of terms and I know I’m not alone.
For all those out there who quietly sink into their seats when friends or colleagues start discussing "Net", I am going to explain to you, what web hosting is. Simply.
The web page. This is a document file, created by a web Editor software such as FrontPage or DreamWeaver. It is your first step, this is page you will view. It will hold your pictures, your logos, your text, your links to other places and your Internet 'tricks and fancies'.
You then need to create your content, as above, pictures, logos, text etc. Once compiled, as you have with other computer design programs, you need to take images and web pages and find a web host. This a service provider that offers space for your 'Net presence'.
Now ...once you have negotiated a 'rent' for your presence on providers land (his servers), you will need to "move in". You will be given key, a secret password and ID that only you will know, which will unlock your "plot" of web presence.
