Question by John S: How do you set up a web page online and what program is good to make the page?
I was wondering how i can set up a web page. Anybody know good program that will help me make my page. I Have the domain name and idea all set up. I did not want to use a webhosting server. If i have my own PC that i can use for server alone can I do this? Could i have the web page under my companies name (where is says property of — at the bottom)? I went to a place that charged me an arm and a leg to make the website, host it and promise me all these hits but i just ended up paying $ 6000. My goal is to do this from scratch. I Have experience with windows and networking. I can do it all except i have never actually set up a page.
What I am looking for is a program recommendation and a link to somewhere that will show me how to set up my domain on my server. Also any other suggestions that any of you guys can help me with. I don’t want to place my website on a webhoster or server like godaddygo ect.. I want full control of my website and not have to pay to get someone to place it for me. I will pay for any website creating software. I would like the best.
Thank you for taking the time to read my horrible grammer

I think the best software is Adobe’s Dreamweaver. It’s very intuitive and writes clean HTML and CSS code. If you’ve never built a website before, you might want to also check out www.lynda.com for some tutorials. Also there are lots of free tutorials on the internet and in Dreamweaver itself. There are also templates that can help you get started. One of the best resources for HTML, CSS and templates is www.communitymx.com. They have a really good forum as well.
I can’t imagine why you would want to host your website on your own computer. First of all, even if you did get it set up, it would cost you more for the bandwidth you need than it would to host it with BlueHost.com or one of the other good inexpensive web hosting companies. You would also just be inviting hackers, since you would have to make your computer available to everyone on the internet. You would need some sort of server software. On a PC that could be Windows Server with IIS, or on Linux you could install and run Apache, but you have to know what you are doing to make it all work. Why would you want to go to all that trouble and risk just to avoid paying per month for web hosting? that part doesn’t make sense to me. JR
