- Web Site Design Essential to Business

Whatever business you're in, it's essential to have a presence on the World Wide Web. Your business web site moves your company into the global economy and provides your customers or industry with the information and service that they're seeking. Without a web site, a business loses its competitive edge; many potential clients either search the Web when seeking a company with which to do business, or review a company's web site prior to making their final selection.
Although a Web presence is essential, few companies have the in-house expertise necessary to undertake web site design or web hosting. Unless a company is heavily into e-commerce, it typically doesn't have technical personnel on staff. As a result, businesses must contract out services ranging from registering a domain name to web site design to web hosting. Read more... - Cheap web hosting - what exactly does it mean to you

No, ‘cheap’ is not necessarily a bad thing (well, not always), but when it comes to a services industry as competitive and with as thin margins as the web hosting industry, customers better watch out. Hosts offering ‘low-cost’ services tend to offer the world for Rs. 900 per year but, usually fail to deliver even the most basic of services. Surprised? I’m not. Let me explain some basics for the benefit of the vast majority who would still be unsure as to what I’m rambling about.
A “web host” is a company (well, most like to think of themselves as such but that’s a whole new article) that is in the business of procuring bandwidth (internet connectivity) and servers (glorified computers) with the intent to re-sell the same, in smaller bits, to people who need storage space for their e-mails and websites.

today. Free web hosting plans are becoming increasingly popular as new webmasters
bite into the idea without actually analyzing the consequences. I myself spent many

experience has giving me an insight into the down-side of free web hosting plans
that many people seem to miss. Read more... - Choosing your web design, domain name and web hosting

Ok let’s get to it. Here are some steps you can follow:
Step one, a name for your website. My favorite!
So you need a name for this website, it’s called a domain name. What is a domain name you ask? A domain name is a unique name that identifies an internet site. The Internet is made up of hundreds of thousands of computers and networks, all with their own domain name or unique address example (www.website.com). Read more...

Why Do I Need Web Hosting? If you want a web site, you will need web hosting. Basically, web hosting provides a way for people to access your web site through the internet. Without it, there would be no way for people to see the page. To Understand Web Hosting, You Need To Know What a Web Page Is A web page is, simply put, a file. When you or your designer builds a web page, you or they save it as a file on a computer. If the file remains on your computer, the only way anyone will see if is if they're snooping around a bit. So, in order to get the web page - a file - visible on the internet, you need to rent some space on a computer that specializes in serving files out across the internet to "host" your web page for you. How Does a Web Site Get From My Computer to a Web Host? There are several different tools you can use to get your web site files from your computer to a web host. The most commonly use is FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol. There is a very good free FTP program called FileZilla, which you can download at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net. Your web host will supply you with a server name, username and password which you input into the program to gain access. Once you're set up, you can use the FTP program to "upload" files from your computer to the web host. Most FTP programs work with a simple drag-and-drop interface. How Do I Find a Web Host? There are several thousand web hosting companies out there to choose from. It's best to chose a web hosting company based on a recommendation. There are several good hosting review web sites on the internet where you can do a little research. You can expect to pay from 8-10 dollars each month for a basic hosting service. Once you purchase a web hosting subscription, the host will supply you with login information to a control panel, where you can manage your e-mail and FTP accounts, or they will supply you with just the FTP information.
