I have one website already, but this was completely done for me by someone else, I have no money but I do have a domain name and a hosting site (for my other site). I am a complete and utter novice, I wondered if someone would kindly take the time to take me step by step to the point of marrying my domain name to a functioning site, which I would also like to simply design.

 

Please bare in mind that I am a novice and whilst I have a fairly technical brain, there will be a lot of phrases and jargon that I won't understand, so please feel free to talk to me like a five year old

 

many thanks

Depends what you mean by fully functioning website.

Are you wanting static pages (ones which you edit through the server/cpanel)?

The process varies from host to host, therefore I would suggest you contact your hosting provider, and ask them to help you "Assign a Domain Name".

 

Assigning a domain name is when you link the actual www.name.com to a folder of your website. That folder will become the root of the website, and you will be able to create a fully functional site, using the same hosting you area already using.

 

Good luck!
