You will need to copy your website files from your computer hard drive to a web server. A web hosting service will provide you with a user ID and password that allows only you to access your files. This is so no one else can access your files and change your website without your knowledge. When you sign up for web hosting services, you will be provided with adequate instructions on how to upload files to the web server. Do not worry, the process is not complicated at all and, anyone with basic computer skills can do it.
You need to make a choice about choosing a web host for your particular situation and website needs. You can choose a free web host or a commercial web host, for which you pay a monthly hosting fee. When considering a paid commercial web host, ask your friends and associates what web host they use and how they like it. Specifically, ask about down-time and customer service, which seem to be the weak points of some web hosting services. Getting feedback from others regarding choosing the right web host may keep you from selecting a less-than-reputable web host, and save you many headaches in the long term.
It is important to choose a web host that guarantees reliable consistent up-time and personal technical support "24/7" in case something goes wrong. Before you sign with a web hosting service, call their tech support or e-mail them at times other than normal business hours, and see if you actually get a prompt response, and what kind of attitude is displayed. This will give you a good indication of what you may expect for technical support and customer service if you use their web hosting service. After you start having technical problems is not the time to find out that your web hosting technical team is unavailable, inadequate, or unprofessional.
You will also want to choose a web host that allows you the administrative authority to, at the very least, perform such tasks as manage the e-mail addresses and change passwords for your account. Though in the beginning, it might not seem important to you, but, you will want to choose the right web host that allows and supports FTP, PHP, Perl, CGI-BIN, etc. Learn more about web hosts and different plans available at my website.
