How Kids Can Make Their Own WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 30,

In Feburary 2016 30,
Research various Web site hosting and design companies to fit your needs. Various sites offer free hosting and design services, while others may charge a nominal fee. A website hosting company will maintain the site on a daily basis to make sure that all links and content operate smoothly. In addition, they will be a resource for the Web site owner to go to if there are any difficulties.
Register your domain name with the hosting and design site you choose. Be sure to have a few names as ideas, as the original one you want may already be taken. A domain name is the actual web address of your site. An example of a domain name/web address would be www.mywebsitename.com.
Follow the steps of your hosting and design site to develop your own Web site. You will have a choice of various themes, colors and platforms for your site.
Upload various photos, artwork and guestbook information for your users to be able to see on your page. Many sites will have various downloads users can add to their sites for free. These downloads will enable options such as a 'visitors counter,' which will count how many people visit your site, a guestbook for users to sign, and blog or feedback section to allow users to leave comments about your site. Your hosting site will provide you the tools to add these features to your site directly, usually by a simple click of a button or by selecting certain features during the design phase of the site.
Notify your hosting and design company when your page has been finished being designed and is ready to 'go live.' This will activate your page on the Internet and allow users to access it.

How to Troubleshoot FTP IssuesIn Feburary 2016 25,

In Feburary 2016 25,
Type the FTP server, your username and password into the appropriate fields to double check that you have not made any typing errors. Click the 'Connect' button or press 'Enter' to try once more.
Verify your FTP server address if you cannot make a connection. Some servers require you to type 'ftp.domain.com,' where 'domain.com' is the actual domain name. Other servers do not require the subdomain 'ftp.' Try both variations.
Add the domain name to your username. For example 'yourusename@domain.com' may work while simply 'yourusername' will not ('yourusername' and 'domain.com' are stand-ins for the actual values).
Download and install another FTP client, such as FileZilla or CuteFTP. Enter your server information and credentials to see if the new program can establish a connection.
Disable the Windows firewall, if it is enabled. Open the Start Menu and type 'Firewall' into the search box to bring up the Windows Firewall option. Click the 'Firewall' link and click 'Turn Windows Firewall On or Off.' Enter your password if prompted and click 'Turn off Windows Firewall' under each network connection before clicking 'OK.'

I Could Not Connect to the Server in FileZilla 1and1In Feburary 2016 24,

In Feburary 2016 24,
Users often confuse hosting accounts with FTP accounts. You enter the username and password for your hosting account to access the website control panel on 1and1. This username and password is not even relevant to FileZilla. Instead, you need to retrieve the details for your FTP account to use FileZilla. You get an FTP username and password in the welcome email when you join. If you no longer have access to this email, get your FTP username from inside the panel and set up a new password.
Account Management
Access your admin control panel by logging into your hosting account. If you have more than one domain, choose which one you want to administer. Select 'FTP Accounts' in the 'Webspace' menu to see your username -- this is the username that you enter into FileZilla to upload files to your website. However, because the password is hidden even in your own account for security reasons, you need to create a new password if you do not know it. Click 'Edit' to see the option to create a new password. Write this and the username down on a piece of paper to make sure you are using the correct account details in FileZilla. You can also click 'New User' to set up additional usernames and passwords for FTP purposes.
Establishing a Connection
Now that you are sure you have the correct username and password for your FTP account, you need to enter the correct information in FileZilla. Open the software, then click the 'Site Manager' icon, which has an image of two computers, near the top. In the window that pops up, select 'New Site' and enter any name for this site, then enter your website address; however, do not enter the 'http' and 'www' portions of the address -- for example, enter 'MySite.com,' not 'www.MySite.com.' Leave the port as '21' and the server type as 'FTP,' but change the 'Logontype' option to 'Normal.' Enter the FTP username and password that you've retrieved from the 'FTP Accounts' section in your 1and1 hosting account. Click 'Save and Exit.' To establish a connection, click the 'Site Manager' icon again, select your website and click 'Connect.'
Other Troubleshooting
If you are still experiencing connection problems, you may have an issue with the FileZilla FTP utility. Because this is free software, download another copy from FileZilla's website. If you still cannot connect with a new copy, 1and1 may be having a server issue; call 866-991-2631 to check the server's status. Another option is to try another free FTP client to isolate whether the problem is FileZilla or 1and1. Examples include Core FTP and Go FTP.

How to Host Dating WebsitesIn Feburary 2016 20,

In Feburary 2016 20,
Purchase a server hosting package from a reputable hosting company. When considering a hosting provider search for reviews of the company. Compare as many options as possible to get a feel for the range of services, prices and options available. Hosting can cost as low as $3.50 a month or several hundred dollars for a dedicated server. The most optimal type of service will depend on your technical expertise. Hostdime.com, ipage.com and godaddy.com all offer hosting services at competitive rates.
Purchase a site domain. If you do not already have domains for your dating websites, you must buy them. Most hosting providers will allow you to purchase domains along with hosting solutions. Domains typically cost less than $15 a year.
Add the new dating site domain to your hosting service, using the new host's Cpanel or hosting screen's 'Add New Domain' feature. Repeat for each domain that will be hosted.
Change the name server for the domain name. Copy the new server's 'Name Server' address and change the domain's 'Name Servers' to those of the new host. Repeat for additional dating sites.
Upload site content and data to each domain's hosting directory on the server. You will need an FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, to do this efficiently. An FTP client is a file transfer program that lets you upload and download data from the local computer and the server, and it is the primary method you will use to transfer your sites to the server. Most hosting packages provide a web-based FTP client in their hosting management sections, but free third party programs like CuteFTP, FileZilla and CoffeeCup FTP are suitable alternatives.
Wait for the name servers to update. This process should take less than 30 minutes. The dating sites will now be live on the new server.

How to Create a Lead Capture Page for FreeIn Feburary 2016 18,

In Feburary 2016 18,
Sign up for an account with a free autoresponder service. These services let you create a series of email messages that the service sends out on a schedule that you choose. Autoresponder services offer form builders as a standard feature. A simple form, and one appropriate for most entry-level lead capturing, asks for a first name and email address. The autoresponder gives you a small piece of HTML code that you copy and paste into the HTML for your website or an HTML box in your content management system. The form then appears on your page. Numerous autoresponder services offer this at no cost, although some free services include advertisement in your emails to offset the service costs. Develop the email content before launching your lead capture page.
Domain and Hosting
If you already own a domain and employ a hosting service, the page itself costs you nothing. If you do not already own a domain or pay for hosting, you can get around paying for both. Numerous hosting services offer free hosting, and many provide a free sub-domain such as websitename.hostingservice.com. Free services tend to offer fewer bells and whistles, but most squeeze pages are so small and simple that it doesn’t affect page performance. Sign up with the hosting service to get the free service and sub-domain.
The Freebie
Few visitors give up their contact information for free. Internet norms dictate that giving up your email address means you get a freebie. The exact nature of the freebie depends, in part, on your business. If you deal primarily in intellectual materials, your business probably lends itself to a short report, white paper or ebook. A podcast offers a good alternative if you prefer talking to writing, and many people prefer listening to reading. If you provide a service, such as online identity protection, you might provide a checklist of simple ways to avoid identity theft without going off the grid.
Page Content
Once you get the technical elements in place and finish the preliminary content creation, develop the page content. An effective lead capture page starts with a compelling headline that identifies and promises a solution to a problem. An example headline might read, “You Can Be A Better Writer Today!” The headline identifies the problem, subpar writing, and promises a fix. The next step typically creates empathy with a short paragraph describing the individual’s plight and how the company understands it. The benefits of the freebie are described, typically with a bulleted list, and the page ends with a call to action. Calls to action ask the visitor to do something to get help with her problem, usually with a time-related word to create urgency. An example call to action might read, “Sign up now to get our 5 Steps to Better Writing Guide!”

About Microsoft Web HostingIn Feburary 2016 17,

In Feburary 2016 17,
While Microsoft's web hosting is free, users are limited to a specific group of design templates. Images can be uploaded and text can be pasted into the template. Site owners log in through a secure website and access a control panel. The control panel includes the web design tools, site traffic reports and management functions for e-mail.
Features
Microsoft's web hosting comes with 500MB of server space, which is superior to most paid web services. There is an e-commerce add-on feature, which provides a shopping cart and secure site with 128-bit secure socket layering, or SSL. Domain hosting is also provided for $14.95 per year. Without a registered domain, customers are assigned a
.live.com address.
Email Accounts
With the web hosting comes access to 100 e-mail addresses for the company. These accounts include advertising on the webmail portal and in the footer of incoming mail messages to the mail client. Customers can pay $19.95 per year to remove the ads with the premium mail add-on. As part of the premium mail, users receive full e-mail, contacts and calendar synchronization with Microsoft Outlook. Since e-mail runs through Microsoft Live, virus protection and SPAM filtering services are included.
E-Commerce
The product's e-commerce capabilities feature a robust, database-driven architecture. With a capacity to catalog 10,000 items, business owners can manage product descriptions, set up sales tax tables, shipping and handling programs and inventory. The e-commerce tools also feature eBay integration, permitting business owners to offer products on their own store and on the online auction site.
Document Manager
One feature of the web hosting product is a document manager. This allows central storage of critical documents and manages versions so that the most up-to-date file is available to employees. While the document manager is primarily an internal tool, it has a feature to password protect and release files online. This would allow potential customers to pick up sales proposals or upload files in return.
