[QUOTE="hojkoff_101, post: 1014850, member: 13420"] Ok, firstly I'm pretty new to web design and am really quite enjoying it so far, but I do have a few questions. If I sit at my desk and develop a number of webpages, such as index.html helloworld.html ....... contactus.html main.css and I stick them all in a folder, do I just upload that folder via ftp to a web server and then the world can see see my website? If I was to buy a domain name, such as [url]http://www.andy4prez.com[/url] am I buying space on a web server as well that I can push the folder to or do I have to pay costs for a web server and a domain name? With regards to .php files and MySQL, where do I actually put the database? Is that also just added to the folder that gets sent to the web server or do you have to make special provisions for a database, or must it be placed in a special location to function correctly? Are websites ever made up of .html and .php pages or should that really be avoided? I've been using MAMP to get started and play with .php files. So far I've just been pushing my test .php files through Apache and MySQL locally to experiment but is there any way to open this up to the internet? ie. can I leave MAMP on in my room and access the pages that I have in the relevant folders at another location?
