Once I have web hosting how do I get my web site online?

Once you've decided on your web hosting package, you will need to design your web site and get it online. This isn't as hard as it sounds and there are thousands of web sites built by people who've never built one before!

You will need to start with a software program that will help you to create and edit your web pages. An excellent choice is Microsoft Frontpage. Other popular choices include Macromedia Dreamweaver and Adobe PageMill.

Whichever program you choose, the objective is the same - create good-looking web pages. All these editors allow you to enter text and images into your web pages in a similar way to using a word processor. So if you're familiar with word processing, this will be quite easy for you.

You will initially create your web site on your computer. Once ready, you will then need to upload it to our web servers. As part of the process of ordering your web space, we will have sent you the username and password and other details you need to access your web space on our servers.
You must set up your web page editing software with these details. How to do this will vary from program to program, but feel free to contact us for advice on this.

You will then upload your files to our servers. At this point you will be able to access the pages on the Internet!
