Answer 2

It depends,

there are plenty of free web hosters, but alot of them suck.

Most hosters will give you an FTP account which basically let's you browse your website's files through an FTP client or a just regular folder. Once you get to the FTP folder you can just drag and drop files.

To get to the ftp folder just open your web browser or an old folder and type:

"ftp://hoster's_site_here.com"

When you make your account the hoster will most likely give you a link to the FTP.

Keep in mind that not every hoster has FTP.

Good Free sites:

http://x10hosting.com (really good free hosting site, it allows you to choose between a site with ads or without ads. And the one without ads is also free, it just goes slower and doesn't hold as much)

http://ismyse.com (has alot of features like x10 but it more organized. but is slower)

Payed sites:

Payed sites probably charge anywhere between $5-$50 per month. It just depends what type of hosting you want.

Keep in mind you also have to pay for a domain (a domain is what you type in to get to the website)

Domains cost about as much as hosting. But it depends on what domain you buy too.

Good payed sites:

http://x10hosting.com

For more sites just use yahoo and search:

"Website Host"

Good domain hoster:

http://www.godaddy.com

Answer 4

You can go to weebly.com or synthasite.com they are both step by step. I perfer weebly more because of the fact that it gives a graph number thing to show you how many people have visited your site.You can have a domain like: mydomainname.weebly.com or mydomainname.com -- but with this one you have to pay for.They are both like that.It's your decision if you want to pay for the domain name or not. You can make as many websites and domains on both of the websites.Come check mine out if you would: http://mycommunications.weebly.com/

Answer 5

To make a website you need a domain and webhosting.The best way to buy a domain for free is to purchase your domain and webhosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some webhosting companies offer this as a gift .Bluehost is the best one

To upload your files download a free FTP client, and use it to upload your files to your web host. I recommend Filezilla.

Answer 6

You mean a web host? That depends on what kind of features and storage you need. If you want to go this route, A great place to buy web hosting is Netfirms - http://moourl.com/k5jgt . It's very reliable and they have been in business for a long time with a broad customer base. Slightly more expensive than others, but you get quality in return (both uptime and customer support). Many places say they offer unlimited bandwidth and diskspace - that's just a marketing trick and no way they can actually fulfill that promise.

Alternatively, you can create a free website is with Microsoft Office Live Small Business - http://tinyurl.com/officelive . It has a free design tool that allows you to create web pages without coding. It has no ads and has 500mb of web space. If you really want to use dreamweaver, you can can upload your own HTML very easily using its web folder - drag and drop (you just need to turn on third-party design tool to switch on this mode). This is not just for business websites, works great for other kinds of sites. It has everything you need to get started wiht web design. MS is giving a free domain name for the 1st year.

Answer 7

it depends.

free web space is all around... but often they send ads and / or give you domains like yoursite.theirsite.xyz ...

with few euro/dollars per year you can buy web space and register a domain like mysite.org.

once you get it, you must upload you site to that space. if dreamweaver does not provide tools for this, you must do it by hands.

i am not sure of this but i suppose all you have is one or more swf files and a index.html. you upload those and the game should be over.
