[Answered] Complete novice needs hosting gurus help!
Hi,
All the stuff on your forums looks a bit technical to me as I am a first timer - so bear with me... I've just bought a domain name from 123-reg.co.uk and need somewhere to host it - your $1 is looking pretty fantastic at the mo! So Q's: 1. can I transfer that name for free? 2. Can I have my site as www.mysitesname.co.uk or will it be www.mysitesname.surmunity.co.uk? 3. I havent built a site to transfer - just bought the name. So how would I go about building a site? Is there anything else I must purchase beforehand to do this? 4. I do have a web page creator on disc somewhere - so I mock up my page on this - how do I get it on to my 'site'? 5. Can I put links in and more than 1 page? How? I know these are super simple questions to most of you, so if anyone could help I'd really appreciate it! As I say its my first time, so please be gentle and not use too much techie lingo... Thank you in advance, Newbie Kelly |

Kel,
Since you have to *dig out* the web builder software, you could get *up to date* by downloading nVu. It works on windows or linux, has editing buttons similar to writing these posts, and like Puck mentioned about publishing, you do File > Publish [enter you site name, user name and password] so when you change a page --- it's magic. Also don't forget that the first/main page has to be named index.htm [or html] and from there they can be anything like news/pictures with .htm on the end.
