Find A Host For Your Site
- If your budget is extremely tight, or you are just starting
out, you may want to begin by using a free web-space provider.
To find one,

You can practice page-building and site design without anyone seeing
your first attempts (and maybe mistakes). At first, you will
have no visitors at all, since nobody knows your site exists.
- Web pages are built by adding HTML tags to text and graphics.

do basic page design, Click Here.
- A page written in only HTML is static; it doesn't allow users
to interact with it. To make things happen when a visitor takes
some action, you'll need to add scripts. CGI scripts, written in
Perl, ASP, C++, etc. run on your server (host) and don't require a
plug-in on the visitors computer. This makes them friendly to all
visitors. To learn about these types of scripts, and where to
get them for free, Click Here.
- If you have already learned page and site design, or have hired
a web designer, you will need a paid host for your site. This is
so you can use your own domain name, not a long (and difficult-to-remember) subdomain/subdirectory name.
