Determine what type of file to create. You can convert a document to a PDF (portable document file.) For a collection of items, like images or audio files, use a compression tool so that users can download all the items in one small package.
Download a compression tool, like Winzip and a program to create PDF files, such as Adobe Distiller, from a download site or the manufacturer's website.
Hit the 'Ctrl' key and left-click each file that you want to add to the compressed folder. When all the files are selected, right-click and select 'Send to Compressed (Zipped) Folder.' A new folder with the extension '.zip' will appear.
Open your PDF creator software. Click 'File' and 'Open.' Select the file you want to convert to a PDF to open it. Click 'Save as PDF' from the menu. With Adobe Professional, you can right-click the document and select 'Convert to Adobe PDF.'
Upload the PDF and Zip files to your web server with your FTP software. You can place them right on the root folder or create a subfolder and put them there.
Edit the web page from which the users will download the files. Put the text 'link' at the place in the file where you want the link to the file to appear. 'Folder' is the name of the folder where the file resides, 'filename' is the name of the file and 'link' is the word to be used as the hyperlink in your web page.
Add text in your webpage that tells users what the file format of the downloadable file is. Provide instructions on how to open it.

How to Create Host a WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Start with a pen and paper and sketch out a site map. The map should begin with the website's home page and branch out from there. It is similar in structure to an organization chart that shows the hierarchy of a corporation. The home page is the CEO and the other pages on the site are employees.
Still using pen and paper, sketch out what the web pages will look like. Decide what elements, such as text, images and video need to be on the pages and where each element will go.
Gather the images, text, video and other elements to be placed on the page together in one place in one folder.
Choose web design software. Adobe Dreamweaver is the industry standard for professional web page design, but there are many free or inexpensive web design programs, such as NVU Open Source Web Builder and WYSIWYG Web Builder Five, which can be downloaded at no cost. These programs are fine for building personal websites.
Working from the initial sketch, lay out the web pages that comprise the site using the web design software. Start with the home page of the site, which must be named 'Index.html.' Other pages on the site can have any name the creator wants.
Using the site map as a guide, make sure the pages of the site are linked together so that users can get from one page to another.
Preview the site in multiple web browsers. The site should appear as it looks when viewed with the web design software. If any page does not look the same in a browser as it does when viewed with the web design software, edit the page until the problem is solved.
Hosting a Website
Register a domain name at Register.com or a similar service.
Decide what kind of web hosting package is needed. Prices range from around seven dollars a month for basic service to thirty dollars a month for multiple website hosting with unlimited storage.
Purchase a hosting package.
Follow the instructions provided by the hosting company to move the completed website to the host servers.

Make a list of unique domain names that describe you, your service or your company. Open your Web browser and go to any of the following websites and purchase a domain name and a web hosting package for your new website: GoDaddy, HostGator and Network Solutions. After you sign up, your host will send you information to your inbox about your domain name, email, and FTP information for your web hosting server.
Once you have your domain name and host set up, it's time to plan and create your website, if you know HTML and web page design you can use programs such as Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Expression Web or Coffee Cup to design your new website. You can find expandable open source blog and web site templates at WordPress. You can hire a web designer to do it for you or you can purchase a readymade template and customize.
Download an FTP program to upload your website. An FTP program enables you to upload your website files on your computer to your web host server on the Internet. Open your web browser and go to any of the following websites: FileZilla, SmartFTP or WS FTP Pro. Download the FTP program and install it on your computer.
Configure your FTP program. Open your FTP program. Go to the section where you can setup a new host connection in your FTP program and use the information that was emailed to your inbox and setup your FTP program. Make sure to enter your FTP server name, folder path, username and password.
Upload your website using FTP. Establish a connection with your FTP server, locate your website files on your computer and upload them using FTP. Make sure you have your index.html page in your upload. The index.html page is set as your website's homepage by default.
Point your domain name DNS settings to the host server. Use the information that was emailed to you pertaining to your domain and log into your domain's control panel and change its DNS settings to point to your Web host's server.
Open your Web browser, type your Web address in the search box and click 'Search.' You should now see your new website posted on the Internet.
