Having a site is different from having a domain. To have a site you must having hosting, or computer space set aside to save the information from your site. This hosting should have come with at least some limited email functions. You should contact whoever did your website and get them to set up your email. Don't let them over charge you for this at all. At the very least one email address with limited space should be fine and should be free. Anymore than a few email addresses with great space may cost you, but I would guess no more than around 10$ a month.

You're not going to have a successful site based on free hosting.\n\nThat said, the key to listing well with search engines is twofold: Content in context and links in to content.\n\nWhat that means is:\n\n1. You need lots of copy on your site that mentions the terms you expect people to use when trying to find your site. For example, if you have a site about deep sea fishing, it's not enough to simply state "deep sea fishing" on your site; you want lots of articles abut that subject, including articles that talk about how, where and what kinds of fish.\n\nContent in context -- lots of copy about the search terms you want to list with -- gets you listed in the search engines.\n\n2. You need other Web sites to link to your CONTENT, not your home page. Simple link exchanges don't work. You don't want people linking to your home page, you want them linking to specific pages on your site.\n\nYou want the content on the page of their site that links to your content to be similar to the content they are linking on your site. You also want to get as many links in from popular sites as possible. The better someone else ranks with a search engine, the more you want them to link in to you.\n\nLinks in determine how high you rank on a search engine.

If you already have the website, all you need is a host and domain name (You can usually register the domain when you order your hosting agrrement). Otherwise you can find someone else to make the website for you, but that's usually very expensive.

Very good start.\nI think you should have a standard template for your site and then follow the same template standard for the rest of your site.  That will make it look more professional. \nBy the way, are you hosting your website on a stand-alone dedicated server or is it on a regular hosting company?  I hope you know when the forum grows, you'll need to give lots of tech support to your member else you'll lose them.

no, not if you don't want it to, some companies will host your website for free if they can advertise on it, making your website look a little un-proffessional and the website address not so customisable. If you pay a small free for a host then they will usually let you use whatever website address you want and will not advertise on your website.

Before you actually pay for hosting, or use geocities, you MUST learn basic HTML. Trust me, it's actually a very easy programming language, you don't need to be good with math. Search the net for tutorials, there are many.\n\nGo here: http://www.kidcompute.com/makeawebsite.html

My site, the company, is a pain, if you have those programs all you need to do is find a 'hosting company.' Do a web search there are even still a few 'free one's' out there otherwise pick a company and sign up, send your money and they will give ya your URL. You need that to launch your site. My space ya used to be able to make the page using their site. Dunno if you still can?\n\nhttp://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/

Step 1: \nRegister your domain name.  You can register a domain name at yahoo or at godaddy.com.  \n\nStep 2: \nGet web hosting.  YOu can get web hosting thru Yahoo or Godaddy, or a gazillion other web hosting companies on line.  You will likely only need a teeny bit of disk space for your site, but you may want to make sure you have at least 500mb of space so that you have enough room to have email accounts associated with your website/domain.  Get a UNIX/RedHat/Linux/Apache type account.  You don't need to pay for "windows" hosting.  You should pay between $7 and $20 per month for hosting.... less, and you don't know what kind of customer service you are going to get, more, and you are paying too much.\n\nStep 3:\nGo to the place where you registered your domain name and make sure your DNS is pointing to the place where you are hosting your website.  \n\nmore explanation: if you register mycompany.com and your host is hostingcompany.com, you need to make sure your domain name is pointing to hosting company.  your dns may look like this:\n\nns1.hostingcompany.com\nns2.hostingcompany.com\n\nOften times your webhost will do the DNS transfer for you.  You will need to tell them your regristrar account's username and password.  That's their job.  It's ok to give it to them.  You might want to change it afterwards though.\n\nSide note: I recommend registering your own domain.  Don't have your hosting company register it for you, as you want to own your domain name and have it registered in your own name.\n\nStep 4:\nThe next step, of course, is to create your website and then load it onto your server.  You should learn XHTML and CSS to do a good job here.  You only need a text editor such as notepad or textpad to create your site and the filemanager portion of your control panel (see below) to upload your files, but you can also go all out and get Dreamweaver, or other WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor.  I recommend Thomsons book "New Perspectives on HTML, XHTML, and Dynamic HTML, Comprehensive"\n\nTerms:\n\nMySQL:\nMySQL is a type of database.  If this is your first website and you asked the question you did, you likely will never need to use it.  However, it is good to get a hosting package that allows for at least one MySQL database.  You will only ever need one database, as you can have almost unlimited tables in this one database.\n\ncPanel:\ncPanel is a control panel for webhosting.  It's a type of control panel... brand name.  It is a really great control panel.  WHat is a control panel?  A control panel is a GUI by which you can control your website.  It includes file manager, where you can upload pages to your website (uploading means putting files from your computer onto your website that is hosted by your hosting company you picked in step 2), control of .htaccess, which allows you to set up password protected directories, email, which allows you to set a default account for your site as well as create email mail boxes and email forwards.

The options for setting up a website are as varied as the options for choosing a car. Choose what you think your needs are from the left-hand column and follow the instructions in that row. \n\nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI'm a student and need to be able to put my class projects on a website. \n\nI just want to set up a personal site with a few photos and some generic information. \n\nI'm campaigning for public office and don't want to spend any money on the Internet, but someone told me I need a website. \n\nThere's no way I'm going to spend anything on building a website, but I'm sure I need one.  Free websites are available everywhere. You'll need to spend at least half an hour to set up what you want, but you don't need any special skills. Your only investment is time.  Go to Geocities or Angelfire and follow their very simple step-by-step instructions for setting up a website. If you can follow directions, you can put up a website with one of these services. There are plenty of others available, but these two are the best-known. \n\nWhen you're done, be sure to add the address of your website to the signature line on your e-mail. If you have business stationery or other printed literature, put it there as well. It's just about the only way anyone will find your site. \n\nIf you know anyone with a website, ask them nicely if they would mind giving you a link. Unless some other site links to yours, the search engines will never find it. \n\nExpect to grow annoyed with the ads on your site. Free web hosts use pop-up ads, pop-under ads, and banners built-in to your pages in order to pay for their services. If you're not bothered, don't worry about them. Most users eventually grow tired of them.  Don't expect a lot of visitors. Your address will be long and hard to remember, so unless someone is really intent on finding your site, not many folks will visit. \n\nDon't expect to be taken very seriously. If you aren't willing to put any money into your site, don't expect visitors to think you're an authority. \n\nDon't get caught up in design. There's not much you can do to make your free site look great. Just put the basic information up and see whether it does the trick for you. Crazy backgrounds, wild color schemes, lots of pictures, and sounds that play whenever people visit your site will only serve to irritate. Keep it simple. \n\nDon't forget to add content. Since your page probably doesn't look very special, be sure to add things to it often enough that it serves a real purpose. \n\nDon't put your e-mail address on the page. Anywhere. If you do, you'll get so much spam you'll never forgive yourself.  \nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI have a lot to say, and I want to blog.  As little as nothing. Some fees may apply, especially as you become more sophisticated. Expect it to become a regular consumer of your time.  Go to Blogger or TypePad or LiveJournal and follow their instructions. \n\nHave something interesting to say, and often. Keep your site fresh. Political campaigns and businesses are starting to realize the power of fresh information posted to people who actively want to follow what's happening directly from the source. \n\nYou may eventually decide to go solo and run your personal site without someone else's software or hosting. When that time comes, use PairNIC to register your domain and Pair Networks to host your site. Their prices are excellent and so is their service.  Don't expect it to be easy. Well-done blogs often absorb lots of their authors' time. \n\nDon't post so often that you create unreasonable expectations. Sandbag a little until you're comfortable with the amount of time you dedicate to your blog. \n\nDon't divulge personal secrets, proprietary information, or national secrets. Serio
