how to set up web page for free?

[benjamit]

i don't know the lingo for this yet, just learned comp h/w and some s/w so far

what the diff bet hosting and domain?

is hosting just having your web page at some free servers like geocities?

so a client has to go to a non professional url like geocities to get to your web page?

is domain the url type? .com .net etc?

so domain registration is having your own url?

so if you have your own url who does the hosting for your web page?

thanks

domain is just your www.whateveryouwant.com site. thats it. you can buy these for 15 bucks for an entire year or something ridiculously cheap. But once you have your domain, its useless without a hoster. Yes you are correct. It deals with servers, the hell with geocities, thats only free useless crap. You can find REAL hosters and pay monthly or whatever depending on their service plans. They provide you with many features which you can all access through a ftp and manage all your files from there. You can register for whatever domain you're looking for. I dont know them all, but you can get .com .net .org, many different types. This is all nothing. it doesnt really matter what it is, all depends on how you look at it.

when you get a hoster, you have to config the domain so it recognizes who is your hoster, all this should be explained once you get your service. at least my company did

why do they scare you? is it because the women here begin to post their pics? that usually scares me. :Q, you should come by more often, its not that bad.....actually, on second thought, you shouldn't, its highly addictive and there is no escape. But then again, you already stepped through the door so there is no return. The door behind you is already closed and the tracker bean has now been activated. again, there is no escape. heh
