[TuT]Making a website with limited skills

[Maestro]

Hello SF, this will be my first tutorial on SF and may be the second on HF

In this tutorial I will show you how to make a professional looking website with limited HTML skills.

First off we need a host, for this tutorial I will be using 000webhost but I recommend x10hosting. Go to 000webhost and create an account.

When you have filled in the correct details, you will be shown some details, copy paste these into notepad (make sure you have the namehosts!)

Now we need a builder that doesn't require experience. There are many but I reccmend Yola and it is what we will be using for this tutorial. Go to Yola and sign up for an account:



Now go to "Create A New Site" and fill in the details and what you want, get a yola subdomain Name your site and domain:


Choose style and edit site to your liking:


Now we have to get the source, press ctrl+u while in your browser. Edit edit the links so that they are http://www.yourdomain.com/*page name* (Leave the bit after the slash as it is in the source). And get rid of the Yola sign at the bottom too by editing out the code. After that paste the code into a notpad document. Do this for every page of your site.



Now go to your control panel on 000webhost and upload your notepad file, choose the directory as public_html . Make sure the file is called the same as the page title and a html extension (if home name as index.html , if page2 name as page2.html etc...).



Now your site has been uploaded to your server

For a "professional" domain go to co.cc. Sign up then go to "Getting A New Domain" look for a domain that is available (buy a free one, don't bother paying for one for like $3). Go to set up domain and paste your nameserves into nameserve one & two or url foward your new domain to your 000webshost subdomian.

Fast forward 48hrs and your done!

WOW great tut it works for me.

But why did you use 000webhost when you said x10hosting is better?

[Maestro]

I haven't used 000webhost before. I though it would be nice to learn something while teaching, was going to sign up there anyway.

[Dillon]

Appreciated, Dillon.

Don't use 000webhost. I used to use them, and it was terrible.
It's very slow, tech support sucks, and their databases are always down.

Use freehostia. It's much better.

I use 000webhost. It's more for people who know what theyre doing. BUT they are CHEAP.
