How to create your own website and hosting?

Question

Specifically, i want to publish a website with infos and a search capability based on i.e name, id number from excel tables or dbf based tables to show details of the said record

Answer 1

For hosting, just look up on google for web hosting companies in your country. In Ireland I used letshost.ie for 2 websites and they're great but there are plenty of others out there. To manage the content and layout of your site, Joomla is just brilliant and so easy to install and use! And it's free! www.joomla.org. You can find plenty of free Joomla templates, or buy more sophisticated ones.  

Answer 2

www.freewebs.com

Answer 3

Website: Learn HTML, for more in depth sites try to pick up CSS, JavaScript, and PHP

Hosting: You need a server, DNS setup, various domains, depending on the size of the site a dedicated line. Or you could, just, y'know, pay the $7 a month to GoDaddy.

Answer 4

If you are willing to learn HTML I would suggest ATSPACE.COM. You can create a website for FREE up to 50MBs in size. I have two websites through them and the uptime is great. NO ADS, NO BANNERS. You'll need an ftp program to upload your stuff. There's a good free one for personal use called "FTP Explorer". Of course you'll either need to learn HTML or use one of the WYSIWYG programs like FrontPage or DreamWeaver to actually design your site. e-mail me if you need some help...

If you want your own domain and have it hosted, I suggest ReadyHosting. You get 100GB of space unlimted e-mail accounts, FTP access and domain name registration all for $99 a year.
