Purchase a domain name. Before you can even begin thinking about a publishing a website, you're going to want to have a domain name. Coming up with a good domain name can be a challenge as many of the best names are already taken. The key to selecting a good domain name is to be creative and try to find something catchy and easy to remember while still representing your website. You can search for available domain names on websites such as GoDaddy and Network Solutions, among many others. Domain names can be purchased for varying amounts of time ranging from one year to life.
Purchase a hosting plan. Once you've picked out your domain name, you'll need to decide what type of hosting plan you need. Your hosting will include how much web space your site will have, how much data transfer your site will be capable of providing, how many visitors can be on the site at one time, and how many e-mail addresses your site will have, among many other features.
Create your website. If you are new to website creation, many hosting companies offer programs that will assist you. These programs will basically let you enter everything in plain text and convert it all to HTML. This is often referred to as 'What you see is what you get.' These programs will also let you easily drop in photos and other documents. If you don't need assistance, you can use any of the various editing programs that are on the market.
Publish your site. Now that your website is created, you can publish your site simply by uploading what you have created directly into the root file of your web-hosting space. Your host will have complete instructions on how to publish to the root file.

FTP stands for file transfer protocol. Accessing an FTP server requires a user name, host name and password. Different types of FTP servers can be accessed, including an SFTP server, FTP with TLS/SSL and FTP with GSSAPI.
Domains
Many websites offer domains for sale, ranging in price from $3 to several thousand dollars depending on the size of server you need. The price of a personal website will be $10 to $15. You can pay to purchase a domain name, or you can rent a domain.
FTP servers
Domains can be accessed through software, such as Fetch or Cyberduck. Once you've purchased a domain name through a site such as Godaddy.com, you will receive a host name, which is usually the name of the domain you purchased (johndoe.com). You will also receive a user name (johndoe@godaddy.com).
Sign in
You are ready to log into an FTP server once you have your host name, user name and password. FTP servers offer shortcuts in the toolbar at the top of the screen. Clicking 'Create Shortcut' will save all your information whenever you log in to your FTP server.
Capabilities
FTP accounts allow you to add information to a personal or business website. Personal websites can be made using software such as Adobe Dreamweaver or Flash.
