site hosting
There are many companies that provide a good
service for site hosting, however, many charge extortionate
rates for this service or limitations in the size (in KB or
MB) or volume of traffic.
- Shop around to find a company that provides the
service you require
- Many companies will charge different rates
according to the size of the web site etc
- Once you have your domain name and a site hosting account,
you need to let your domain name provider know your IP
address (or DNS
server) from your hosting company
- Then you need to let your hosting company know your domain
name
- This is so all parties know which IP
address the domain name should point to
- After up to 72 hours, the DNS
servers around the world will have been updated
- When you type in your web site address into a browser,
your hosted files will be visible
The company jessett.com uses is 34sp.com (http://www.34sp.com/),
who "aims to offer the best web hosting solutions at
the lowest possible costs". They provide good value hosting,
visitor stats and an easy to use web interface. We also use
CubeSoft Network (http://www.csoft.net/),
who are probably best for the experienced web publisher. A
beginner may be more comfortable with a provider who has a
simple web control panel to enable you to configure your hosting
account with ease, such as http://www.oneandone.co.uk/.
Perhaps you would prefer to find one in your own country,
so you can be sure support will be provided in your language.
Now you're all set to get started on your web site,
but first read about usability
- the most important aspect of web design.
