How do I start a website?

**boy ingig** · 07-07-2005, 02:14 PM

Hello webmasters out there!

First off, I'm a programmer for a manufacturing company. I develop manufacturing applications in-house. But, they're all done in a client/server environment. I've been frequenting e-groups and forums for support on the development tools I'm using. Now, I've gotten interested in doing a website of my own. The idea itself is really rewarding. So, how do I start? I'm pretty sure I can handle installations and configurations and those fine tuning stuffs, I have a fully MODed phpbb here in my PC right now. Just I don't know what's the deal about buying a domain, or should it be hosted by a hosting company? How do I do this? Who's selling domains in the Phils? How much investment to I have to shell out for just trying to experience being a site owner? But honestly, I don't know what content it would contain. What do I need to learn first? Don't know anything about Dreamweaver stuffs or Flash or CSS. Well, I'm learning on my spare time. Any inputs are appreciated. Thanks.

Do this at deligently.

Problem: How to create an HTML title

1) Open a notepad
2) create a new file called index.html
3) write:
<html><title>Boy Ingig's Website</title>

</html>
4) Go to File menu, open menu item, and browse the 'index.html' file you have created, see the Frame title of your web browser, and you will see 'Boy Ingig's Website'
5) Once you see the title, go back to this thread and say you're done. Next, I will teach you how to create a body of your HTML.

I think I'm misunderstood here. I'm asking about setting up a website. I'm particularly interested about domain registration and its cost. Who should I talk to here in the Philippines, things like that. I told you I've installed phpbb plus some MODs in my PC though I'm still learning php, but my installation does work fine. Thanks for the reply.

Just buy a domain and configure your domain's DNS to point to your server's IP address.

for starters:

ask our dear friend Google for ' free webhosting ' accounts. choose those that offer better features like phpbb support, cgi support and if possible no advertisements/banners. do your part and search for these and you can start from there.. don't worry about your own domain yet. get used to the free accounts before buying one.
