The first thing that you have to do is get your own area on the web called a domain name, there are a number of different places you can do this and manage where your domain is located. www.dotster.com not only offer domain a registration services but also the next part of our “how do I get a website and get on the web” hosting.

Hosting can be a beast and there are thousands of companies out there that are trying to get your business, www.dotster.com offer a very good hosting
package with the domain registration but it due to having had problems in the past I normally keep my domain registration and the area that my domains are hosted with different companies. www.crochosting.com offer a very reliable and easy to use web hosting package that has software within the control panel that
not only gets you online but also helps you manage the website.

Fantastico comes with over 40 helpful software packages and is included in the crochosting package. One of these many packages is Joomla which is free,
easy to use and helps answer the question “how do I get a website and get on the web” simply installing Joomla will allow you to not only have your site up and running but an easy way to manage the content and design.

There are many other alternative ways to answer the question “how do I get a website & get online” there is a blog where you can update the website every day with whatever subject you want, you can get a free blog at www.blog.com who offer a easy to use sign up process and a simple user interface.

So here we have introduced you to the simplest way to answer the question “how do I get a website & get on the web”, there are hundreds of different elements involved in being on the internet but these are by far the simplest ways to do it. I will be writing more about other elements over the next few weeks so keep your eyes open and I will teach you more and more.

    What is your passion? Or just something that interests you. Another good idea is to make it a page all about you, your family and friends, and keep it up to date. That way, your friends/family can go to your site to see updates and whats going on in your life. Add lots of pictures to keep it interesting!
