Title: For those with websites
Post by: krave on July 27, 2009, 09:16:22 pm

May I ask who you use to host your sites? And maybe any recommendations as to where is best to use.

Thank you

Its worth getting the hosting package from letshost too,.. cheap enough if you go for the 2 year option. I'd recommend getting a template from www.templatemonster.com and using that. I've never got on with sitebuilder's myself.

Yeah I got the hosting package too, about 8 euros a month. But when I go to the site I dont see any where that it lets me do anything to do with my page (not that I have one) Or how to upload one.

If I use a page builder/site builder that is not from the site, I shoul be able to upload it surely?

Sorry if im being dumb, but I have never done this.   :)

If you go to www.download.com and search for "filezilla" or any other ftp client you can use that to access your webspace.

Download the template of your choice, upload it to the "public_html" using filezilla and then use adobe dreamweaver to edit it live on the server and modify the template to suit your needs.

Dreamweaver costs a lot, but you can download a 30 day trial free from www.adobe.com
