Open your browser window. Type 'VPS Hosting' into the search bar of your favorite search engine. Research available plans from the VPS providers listed in the search. Determine how many gigabytes of disk space and bandwidth you will require along with how much you would like to spend on hosting per month. Sign up for the hosting plan of your choice and make any required payments.
Research the Internet for any necessary software programs needed to create the web site such as an HTML editor or WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor and image editor. Download the programs to your computer.
Create any images including a header, background, banners and buttons that will be used on your website with your image editor.
Open your page editing program. Choose a color scheme that will be used for your site. Add a header image which includes your domain name to the top of your site. Include additional images, text and links in the body. Save your work.
Connect to your VPS by entering your username, password, and IP address into the proper fields of the FTP portion of your web page editor. Upload your web site using the 'Publish' feature. Test your web site by entering the URL into your browsers address window. Check that all links function properly.
Provide your friends and family with a link to your web site. Use social media such as Twitter and Facebook to invite your contacts. Increase traffic to your web site by adding the URL to the footer of your email, leaving comments on other web sites and submitting the link to search engines.

How Do I Stop Blocking Javascripts?In Feburary 2016 26,

In Feburary 2016 26,
Malicious exploits using JavaScript often pretend to be in the Local Zone to gain additional privileges. Microsoft's solution to this issue was to make the Local Zone security more restrictive than the Web, blocking JavaScript, Flash and other active content on pages viewed on the local file system. Blocking Javascripts and other active content becomes an issue for Web developers who test their Web pages on their desktop computers before uploading updated pages to their websites.
Mark of the Web
One workaround to this issue is to add 'The Mark of the Web' to your Web page to trick Internet Explorer into treating the local file as if it were loaded from a different zone. 'The Mark of the Web' is a specially formatted comment Internet Explorer adds to Web pages when they are saved from the Web, and grants the local copy the same privileges as the source website.Add the 'Mark of the Web' to the top of your Web page (below the DOCTYPE declaration if one is present) For example:
Change the Web address to the address of your website, and the number '0026' to the number of characters in your Web address, including the http and all punctuation.If you are using Adobe Dreamweaver, it features a command to automatically add 'The Mark of the Web' to your Web page. Select 'Insert Mark of the Web' in the Commands menu. The mark can be removed by selecting 'Remove Mark of the Web' in the Commands menu.
Other Testing Methods
'The Mark of the Web' is the simplest and easiest way to stop blocking JavaScripts in Internet Explorer. However, many Web developers may find this method aesthetically displeasing, and it becomes cumbersome when managing large websites. Another option is to test your Web pages on a Web server. You can install a Web server, such as XAMPP, on your desktop computer, or create a test folder under your website to upload and test Web pages. Check with your hosting provider or systems administrator to see if they can provide a test website for you.

How to Register My Internet BusinessIn Feburary 2016 22,

In Feburary 2016 22,
Determine a suitable name for your business. Select a simple, easy-to-remember and catchy name ending in '.com'--as you will be offering commercial services. The name you choose for the domain should reflect the nature of your business. For instance, if you are selling gardening tools on the Internet, your website's name should clearly indicate that it sells gardening equipment. However, you will have to be flexible while choosing the name because you will come across competitors with similar names. For this reason, you have to aim for a name that clearly indicates your services, while still managing to have it be different and innovative.
Look for places to register a domain name for your business. You can find some domain registering websites in Resources below.
Check on the domain registering website if your desired domain name is available. If the one you had in mind isn't available, try looking for anything similar. Shopping for an Internet domain is tricky. Different websites have different plans and prices so you will have to look around for best rates.
Find a hosting website for your business. Generally, the website that sells domain name offers hosting services as well, but you should consider looking at other hosting plans. According to webhostingchoice.com, the 10 best web hosting choices are Host Monster, Just Host, Web Hosting Pad, i Page, Blue Host, In Motion Hosting, Host Clear, Host Gator, Go Daddy and Yahoo.

How to Get Rid of the Red X on a WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 20,

In Feburary 2016 20,
Contact the web page administrator if it is not your web page. The administrator will have to fix the page coding or upload the correct images to remove the red 'X.' You can usually find the contact information at the bottom of web page or on a contact page listed in the site links.
Check your Internet connection. If you are viewing a web page and your Internet connection goes down, the page will not display correctly. This can result in the red 'X' appearing where images should be. Check your modem. If the connection lights are not lit, unplug the modem, then plug it back. It should take about 10 minutes for the modem to restart. If the Internet connection light does not light up after 10 minutes, call your Internet provider.
Open the web page in a text editor if it is your own web page. Check the URLs of all your IMG tags. For example, if the image tag says, , check the images folder for a green.jpg. If it is not there, change the URL, or upload the image to that folder.
Check to see if Internet Explorer has images turned off. Go to 'Tools,' then 'Internet Options.' Next, click on the 'Advanced' tab. Check the box that says 'Show Pictures.'
Turn off your anti-virus software, then check the website again. Some anti-virus software can block images.

Windows Media Player Cannot Connect to the ServerIn Feburary 2016 19,

In Feburary 2016 19,
Retype the URL or website address in the Open URL dialog box in Windows Media Player. Make certain you spell the file name correctly with the correct path.
Try again later to connect Windows Media Player to the server, since the host server may be busy.
Check your modem or wireless connection to make certain your computer is connected to the Internet.
Proxy Server Settings
Test your proxy server settings for Windows Media Player to ensure you have them configured properly, by clicking 'Start,' typing 'windows media player' in the Start Search field box and then pressing the 'Enter' key. This brings up Windows Media Player.
Click the 'Library' drop-down arrow and 'More Options,' which brings up the Options window.
Click the 'Network' tab at the top of the window to look at your settings under 'Streaming Proxy Settings.'

This proxy server helps speed up your connection to websites you visit often, plus it reduces the amount of data flowing over the Internet connection.
Select 'Use Proxy Settings of the Web Browser if you selected the 'HTTP' protocol; otherwise, select 'Autodetect Proxy Settings.' Try connecting Windows Media Player again to the server.
