hey man, yeah I would be interested in hosting...


Stupid question.... I have so much experienve creating sites but I never learned the obvious stuff! Like this.



Whats the story with the hosting




chat ya then

It's easy. Once you get hosting, you'll be provided with a place you can FTP your files to using GoLive (it has FTP no?)

This is simply putting all the files you created onto a server, nothing much more to it.

Also, when you're getting a hosting account, they give you their name server addresses, like this: ns1.hostingco.com, ns2.hostingco.com, ns3.hostingco.com, ns4.hostingco.com

Take the above name servers, log into your GoDaddy account and point the domain name you purchased over to the above name servers.

Wait 4 - 24 hours...

Done. Your site will appear when you type in your domain name.
