FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the quickest and easiest way to create my web site?
Get an account with a free web page service like Homestead or Netscape Site Central.
They usually provide you with several megabytes of space. Most of them also have tools to help you build a web site, even if you have no experience with HTML (the language used to create web site).
However, if you would like to have your own domain
name, I recommend nomonthly.com because
they will host your domain for a one-time setup fee of
$99. They also have site building tools like the freeweb sites do.
How do I get a domain name?
By registering your domain name with a domain registrar. I recommend ODomainRegistry because
they charge just $19.99 a year (Other registrars charge as much as $35 a year). In addition, they provide many free services like
domain parking (this lets you retain ownership of your domain without a web site), 5 megabytes of web space, and unlimited email. Do not procrastinate - register your domain before someone does.
How can I password-protect my web site?
The easiest way is by using JavaScript. For more information, read the JavaScript Password Protection Tutorial. This method is not very secure and therefore should not be used to protect anything important. If you need to protect something important,
you should use HTACCESS password protection instead.
How do I create a link so that someone can send me an e-mail?
Creating an e-mail link is similar to creating a link to a web site.
To create an e-mail link that looks like [email protected], I use the following code: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A>.
