How
to Upload a website
Hosting
space: For your website you need somewhere to store all
your files. Documents, Images, etc. Pricings for hosting can
vary from $3.95 up to $15 or more per month, depending on
a few things (Number of Visitors, large files hosted, images)
What
is bandwidth? Each hosting plan you look at has a bandwidth
limit, this is normally a per month limit, if you look at
bandwidth like a bunch of cars on a highway it tells you how
many cars are allow to go on a highway before you need to
add another lane, it also means that only a certain amount
of cars can go via that highway per month. If you have big
video file (a large truck) it takes up more bandwidth. Smaller
files/images mean smaller cars, meaning more traffic can go
through, so try making files small if possible.
What
is the difference between Windows and Linux host? When
you see on a hosting website, “Windows server” or “Linux server”
then its giving you the option on what programming language
your website is written in. Talk to your webmaster about this.
PHP programming language runs on Linux systems and ASP programming
language runs on Windows systems.
Domain
Name You buy your hosting or host it on your own machine;
You need a simple way to point to your hosting space. For
your website to look professional and easy to remember you
can register your own domain name. A domain name is looks
like: “yourname.com” or “tassiedevil.net” etc. They come in
many extensions, the most common being .COM. Domain names
are extremely cheap now days and I'd recommend.
So
many hosting and domain registration websites, simple please:
I've used the internet for a while now and there's hundreds
and hundreds of hosting website and domain name registration
places. Main thing that I've been caught out with is not enough
bandwidth.
An
example of a hosting plan:
Economy
Plan:
•
5 GB Space • 250 GB Transfer • 500 Email Accounts • FREE!
Software • 10 MySQL Databases • 50 Email Forwards • Forums,
Blogging, Photo Galleries • No ads
This
particular one provides 5GB space for photos documents etc,
and 250GB of Bandwidth, that is huge! But also includes extras
like one click forum installs or photo galleries, look at
for these as they may save you a lot of time.
How
to upload a website: If via the above plan, you can use
the program “Microsoft frontpage” or FTP to upload your website.
There are many free FTP clients such as a program called “smart
ftp”. For full details on how to connect to your website host
check out their website.
