Q)
What do I need to get My Website on the
World Wide Web?
A) There are two things required to
get your site up and running:
- an Internet Address: you need to have your own unique
"web address" for people to go to see your website.
The most common way to get one is to register a Domain Name, which
provides you an easy to remember web address ... like "yahoo.com"
... ours is 2serveU.net
- a web hosting account: once you have registered your
Domain Name, you can sign up for a web hosting account. This will
be a portion of a web server that's yours to use, which will store
all of your website's Files.
Once you have your domain name and hosting account, you can upload
your files.
| Note:
you need a Domain
Name and a Hosting account before
you can upload files. |

Q)
How do I Upload My Web Pages to the Internet?
A) There are a few ways of uploading
files to your hosting account .... The most common way is with an
FTP program (short for File Transfer Protocol),
which will transfer your web files from your Computer (local directory)
to a Web Server (remote directory).
2serveU.net offers a much easier way
to upload files using our File Manager, and offers this simple
