Yes. I have a site besides a myspace page... What site do you run it through? What's the monthly costs?

What software is used to create and maintain it? I use godaddy. Com for my web hosting and domain name registration.

I then use Wordpress (a blog/content management interface) for my site so adding content is fairly simple. For html layout & design (when I decide to make pages outside of wordpress) I use Nvu which is a free WYSIWYG application that essentially generates HTML for you so you don't need to learn HTML. For graphic design I use GIMP which is a free alternative to Photoshop.

This costs me $8.95 per year for the domain name and $3.99 per month for web hosting. And wordpress and all of the other applications are free. So for $56.83 I have my own site and all of the tools I need to give me complete control over the site.Do you get mail through it?

I also have a form mail script on my site so I can receive emails from users on the site without them needing to know my email address or exposing my email address for public view. Do you use it for yourself or for business? What are your experiences with this site?

My site is primarily for personal use as a family blog.

Www.siowl. Com I have been maintaining my own website for about twelve years now, as well as assisting one for an astronomy club and a couple for businesses. My own site is someplace to post my own photographs, writing and astronomy info.

The site is something I can tinker with in the evenings and has become fairly sophisticated with some Javascript, PHP and MySQL to serve up pages. The fancy features slowly incorporated as I learned further skills. There is a large database on the website of observations, photographs and drawings of deep sky objects (galaxies, nebula, star clusters, etc.) that is all dynamic pages generated on the fly.

A website of your own allows you complete freedom. Put what you want on the pages, how you want it, without any format restrictions. On the other hand you need to learn how to build a website from scratch, definitely more leaning and work, and occasionally more frustration as you find out what will not work.

Generating a decent site takes skill and good taste and more than a little time. My own sites started simple and small, but continue to grow in size and complexity. I use goDaddy as my hosting provider for the last five years.

Great service, based in the US (Tempe, AZ), and competitive rates. It was recommended by friends and I switched with no regrets. A domain will cost about $9/yr to register, but possibly less with deals offered regularly.

Hosting is about $3 a month for the basic plans, with well featured plans running about $6/mo, less if you sign up for longer periods. I have not seen an outage on my site in years, and they have real people you can call for customer support 24-7, not just email like so many other providers. For editing I have used Dreamweaver for many years as well.

I don’t have the latest version by any means, but the old version has more features than I need and have no reason to upgrade. Good package, spend my time writing and editing and it handles the complexity of updating the site, updating links and keeping things organized despite the size of the site (dozens of real pages and thousands of virtual pages generated on the fly by PHP and SQL). The goDaddy account offers all your features, mail, etc. I have used it to solve a lot of problems.

A regular feature of internet service providers is that they will not accept outgoing mail from outside their network, a good feature that prevent their networks from being used for spam. But I couldn’t send mail anytime my laptop wasn’t at home! I setup my outgoing mail to always use my goDaddy account and I can now send from wherever I am.

The hosting account also has far more space than even my good sized website uses. When I need to get a large file to someone I can post it to the website and just send the link in an email. This gets around the file size limitations or file type limitations that some businesses and service providers have on incoming email.

Give it a try, you can get your feet wet for $20 or so for a site and a couple months of hosting. Get a basic tutorial book that has the basics and step through making a small simple site. Once you are started there are great online resources that cover the more advanced stuff.

It is seriously cool, and more than a bit geeky, to type in your own URL and see your own site pop up!

Website I've had a website for years. It's hosted by Homestead. Com, and I've been very happy with them.

I pay $99/year, I believe it is, but I think that's discounted for being a "charter member" with them when they first started out. The software I use for it is what is provided by them, and I really like it. I know html, and that does come handy for some parts, but most of it is more drag and drop type of set up.

Not hard at all. But it can be very time consuming, depending on how large the site is. I am currently re-doing my site, and I've spent days and days on it...mainly due to the large number of items I sell and each one has to have a "buy now" type button on it and be categorized on several pages.

I also create most of my own graphics, which I love doing but it takes time. A knowledge of Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop is helpful, but not required as Homestead does have a large library of images and backgrounds you can use. Being in art, though, I need to have the graphics reflect my work, so I make them myself generally.

Mine is for my business, but it's also "personal" as in my business a personal touch is important. It's very important to have a website nowadays if you are in business--it's a great way to make contacts. I was lucky enough to get a licensing contract just because of my website, and several other unique opportunities.It's an easy way for people to find you, and they are looking!

So don't miss out on the opportunity! I have exceeded my bandwidth once, when I did a special project and had people signing up and placing orders, which shut down my website completely until I purchased more bandwidth. I think I paid an extra $50 for the bandwidth which restored my website, thank goodness!

I think some people feel limited by Homestead, as you don't do it in regular html. But I need something I can do myself when I need it done, rather than spending too many hours on it or waiting for someone else to do it. And it's too much work to start over somewhere else at this point!

Yes, I get my email and orders through the site. I have a shopping cart and take both Paypal and credit cards. I have pages that can be only accessed by password, and can have photo albums.

There isn't too much you CAN'T do there.

I have my own server in a server motel I actually administer several Web server and they are all Linux/Apache configurations. One of them is a law firms homepage and it’s located in the firm office and connected to the internet via the offices ADSL connection. The traffic is low and only additional cost is the domain registration and power to the server.

The actual site is created and updated by a advertisement agency and I don’t know the cost of their work. The same server also is a mail server with spamassassin as a spam filter. My own server is in a server motel which gives me electricity, network connection via lan (100Mb/s) and once a week free access to my server (other times it’s with additional charge).

This service costs me 504 € a year. I think my web hosting more as a hobby and so I like to do a lot of tweaking. If I would like to lessen the amount of work I need to do on the servers I’d select a stable enterprise Linux distribution like Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).

I currently administer on my main occupation both of these servers and I haven’t had any problems with them. If you are interested on doing you own advanced stuff like running MySQL and Mail as part of your site, you could start by taking a dyndns. Org domain name and run your own server via ADSL line.

Check your ISP’s contract for server exclusions. They can be disputed, but you probably don’t want to exhaust your energy on court. If you are not planing on getting any feed back to your site, you could use a web hosting provider and get from them the domain name and place for the site’s pages.

How do I go about find web sites with sun dresses.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
