Webhosting for a New Website

Webhosting: Or as most folks call it a place to park your website. Kind of like a street vendor where you can showcase your products, services, and or both but only on the internet. The best place to get webhosting is Hostgator.com

They have webhosting at about 7.97 per month. I suggest ordering the baby croc package. This means you can start a website for about 18.00 USD dollars. Compare that to the offline world where you can spend a small fortune just starting a new business.

Hostmonster.com - They have plans that start at $6.95 per month but you do have to pay for one year. Their plan includes UNLIMITED storage space, and UNLIMITED data transfer per month, this amount of storage and transfer puts their plan up there with the most valuable plans going in the sub $10 per month price bracket.

Learn HTML: You've got to learn HTML (hyper-text-mark-up-language)...There is no way out of this. Thankfully learning this language is not that difficult if you really have the desire to learn. Here is an excellent tutorial on learning HTML... onehourhtml.com it even has a video for follow along type learning. Very easy and inexpensive.

Or you can visit this page for an excellent free HTML tutorial. You will easily learn how to make a basic web page. All you need is notepad and a strong desire to learn.

Content for your website: You need content where do you get it? You get it from your own personal knowledge, from what's inside your brain. Write about what you know...I can't stress this enough. You really do not need lots of flashy graphics heavy javascripts.

Simple websites are really cool and much easier for the search engines to rank and list your website. If you don't like writing you could pay someone to write your good content at: Good Website Content? Hire a Writing Expert on Elance Today.

You will need to learn FTP: It stands for file transfer protocol. Bascially it means writing, editing, graphics and developing your website using your computer resources (an HTML editor or Notepad).
