You need to purchase a hosting account from a reputable hosting company.

Once this is done you link it to your domain name by changing your domains name servers to match the ones given to you by the hosting company.

You will then be given FTP access to your hosting where you will put your website files.

can any on tell me how to host my sites

Hello Shafiu

 

I can see from your question that you have never done so before. let me guide you though this:

 

First you'll some sort of FTP software

I would suggest Filezilla or the good old Total commander or you can always use windows explorer if you wish(not recommended)

 

Now you'll need to "buy"(more like rent) a hosting service

simply google website hosting or web hosting and find the best deal out there, contact them and once they receive your payment they will send you an email explaining what to do next.

 

p.s most hosting services offer you to buy the domain so just register a domain as well while you're at it.

 

in case they send you an email containing only FTP info

simply connect via FTP to the hosting server and upload your files be sure to name your home page index.html(or PHP) and you're done, go to the domain you registered for your website and it will take you to your website.

 

Enjoy

Thanx.

You see i am a kid i am 14 years old. i have made many website but not hosted them i have made 2 site for two companies in maldives. but they hosted i made the site. i have made many other websites from webbs.com too.

and by the way i am not in a job so i cant buy any domain or other. anyways isnt there any free web hosting sites.

You can usually get hosting pretty cheap. Check out one.com you can get your first year of hosting for free. You will need to pay about £10 for the domain registration, but if you use topcashback you can get £10 back so it is then free for the first year and you pay about £20 a year after. The problem with this site is you have to host all your domains separately so if you have loads of sites waiting to be hosted then this could be expensive but for one domain it is pretty cheap.

 

If you have many websites which you want to host on one hosting package then you could use ipage which allows you to host as many domains as you like on one package for about £24 a year.

 

If you would like a free hosting account you could try 110mbwhich offers a pretty good free package. The trouble with free packages is that they don't offer you any extras, so if you would like lots of databases, free ad coupons etc then you should look into paid.

 

I hope this helps and good luck.

That's true. And for people who aren't that tight and want a good package that is substantially better than One.com and is far better value they can use my new [sHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION] service as found in my footer link, aimed at making the hosting process easy for people who may not understand or care about the ins and outs of hosting but just want a good reliable service.

Just a few things left to set up.. About a week till it's fully set up, but people can sign up now if they wanted.

 

And bug fix needed in sign-up for certain email addresses to get through by sounds of it!

robbied90s seems to be fine.

Yes mine was fine Oak.
