Obtain from your web hosting company the necessary information to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to upload your files as well as the correct connection string(s) to access a database that is part of your website.
Upload your website files to your web host using FTP. Include the web pages, any image files or other web content files related to the new site.
Replicate any database schema and tables that are part of your website to the web host's database server. Do this either by developing the database on the web hosting company's database server if allowed or with the Database Publishing Wizard that is part of Visual Web Developer (installed with ASP.NET).
Update the web.config file that was uploaded as part of Step 1 so that the database connection string will point to the web host's database server rather than the location on your own PC. This may involve several connection strings if the website includes complications such as additional systems, membership pages, and roles (Admin, Full User or Limited Use, for example).
Test all connections and features of the hosted website for functionality. Correct any bugs or non-working parts on the local computer and then upload the corrected web pages.

How to Start a Charity Website for FreeIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Evaluate your short-term and long-term website needs. If you are fundraising for only a few months, you may not need a website a year from now. However, if you have just started your own charity and plan to be around for the long-term, you will probably want to migrate to a fully hosted website with its own domain name as soon as you can justify the cost.
Look up available domain names for your charity. Most charities and non-profits use a .org domain. For example, the Red Cross uses redcross.org and the American Cancer Society uses cancer.org. To find available domain names, go to the Public Interest Registry website at PIR.org, which manages all .org domains.
Use your charity name if it's available. If it's not available, try using your charity's acronym, an acronym with your location, or words related to your work. Register your domain or make a point of registering it as soon as possible. Domain names cost about $10 per year. You can buy the domain name now and get a Web hosting service later.
Creating a Free Website
Browse any of the free website platforms available online. Some websites, such as Tumblr.com, WordPress.com and Weebly.com, can be used by anyone. Other websites, like Crowdrise.com and JustGiving.com are specifically for charities.
Evaluate your available skills. If someone in your organization has Web design and development experience, it may not matter which platform you choose. If you plan to migrate your free website to a fully hosted domain using WordPress, using WordPress.com now will make it easier to transfer later. If you prefer a user-friendly interface like Weebly.com, you can upgrade from its free plan to your own domain name later without changing your current website at all.
Read the terms and conditions of the website platform you've chosen before starting work. Some platforms may appear to be free until you try to launch your website, or may require payment for the features you want to use. Most free platforms bring in revenue by placing ads on your Web pages. If this is inappropriate, consider buying a Web hosting plan with your own domain name rather than using a free service.
Use the onscreen tutorials to build your Web page. Create an About page telling people what your charity does. Include a Contact page with your phone number, email address and location so people can get in touch with you. If your charity has tax exempt status, put this information on your Contact page or About page as well.

How to Fix WinHTTP DLLIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Click the 'Start' button in Windows and expand the 'All Programs' folder. Click the 'Windows Update' link that appears in the first program column. This will launch Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Click the 'Express Install' button. Windows will begin searching for all important updates that you have yet to install, which will take a few minutes.
Click the 'Install Updates' button if Windows finds any important updates for your computer. The updates will begin downloading and installing immediately, but the process can take some time.
Reboot your computer when prompted to do so after the installation process concludes.
See if problems related to winhttp.dll still occur. If they do not, the updates likely fixed the problem, as updated versions of this file are included with most service pack updates for most versions of Windows. If you're still having problems, try the next section on restoring the last working version of winhttp.dll.
Restore the Last Working Version
Click the 'Start' button in Windows. Expand 'All Programs,' then 'Accessories' and then 'System Tools.' Click 'System Restore.'
Click the bubble next to 'Restore my computer to an earlier time' and then click the 'Next' button.
Select a restore point from the calendar by clicking on a bold date. If you just started experiencing problems suddenly, perhaps after installing conflicting software or getting a virus, choose a restore point from right before you started having problems. If you think the problem may have been there for some time, use the 'Back' button next to the calendar to scroll back to the earliest restore point. After you click a restore point, click the 'Next' button.
Read the restore details on the confirmation screen; then click the 'Next' or 'Finish' button. The computer will restore itself and reboot automatically, which may take several minutes.
Click 'OK' in the confirmation dialog box that appears after Windows starts up. See if you still have problems related to winhttp.dll. If you do, the best solution may be to replace the file manually. Find these instructions in the final section.
Replace Winhttp.dll Manually
Use your Web browser to navigate to a site where you can download winhttp.dll for free. You can find a link to a reliable download site in the Resources section.
Click the download link, save the file to your hard drive and open it. It will open in WinZip or your equivalent unzipping software. Unzip the winhttp.dll file to your desktop.
Double-click the 'My Computer' icon; then navigate to the system folder. If you're using Windows XP or Vista on a 64-bit system, this folder is at 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64.' If you're using either of those operating systems on a 32-bit system, the folder is at 'C:\Windows\System32.' In Windows NT and 2000, the folder is located at 'C:\WINNT\System32.' Finally, in Windows 95, 98 and Me, it's at 'C:\Windows\System.'
Drag the winhttp.dll file from the desktop into the system folder. If you see a prompt asking you whether or not you want to replace the existing file with the new one, click 'Yes.'
Restart Windows. Upon boot-up, Windows will register the new .dll file automatically, and you should be able to use Web- and network-related software normally.
