Good resources for starting your website! WebHosting | Domains | HTML | Scripts! #1
Hello and welcome to this thread. Today I will be trying, to the best of my ability, to assist you in the creation of your website. I will be covering various areas within this thread and I hope that they will come in handy and be of use to all of you.

Areas that we will cover
  • Free Hosting
  • Paid Hosting
  • Domain Registration
  • Website Templates
  • Scripts



Free Web Hosting
Alright, so a lot of people who plan on building a website want to do it at the cheapest rate possible, often on free webhosting.
The real issue with this is that many of these are running on standard shared hosting and usually have really low disk space, which might not be as useful for people that are trying to run a company or a forum.

Paid Web Hosting
Paid hosting, unlike free hosting, is much more beneficial for many reasons. The main reason being is that you get more options for your money.
In addition to having more for your money, you also get better support when you really need it which is always good.

Domain Registration
Ok, so I'm sure we all know what a domain is, but let me explain the difference here for you between a Domain and a Sub-Domain.

Domain:
A full length domain such as HackForums.net

Sub-Domain:
Falls under the domain such as test.HackForums.net
You can get free and paid domains but here is a list of both, usually websites with paid .com/.net etc domains do better than free ones.

Website Templates (HTML)

A vast majority of websites that you see are created with HTML and CSS. Although each website you come across is different than the next they all usually have 2 or more columns.
Columns are basically blocks on a webpage where you store content at. The most common ways of adding columns to your website is by using the <div> or <table> tags.

A div defines a block-level section on a webpage.

Example of a div,

Code:
<div>
<p>You can put whatever you want here.</p>
</div>

A table defines an inline section on a webpage.

Example of a table,

Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Row 1 Column 1</td>
<td>Row 1 Column 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row 2 Column 1</td>
<td>Row 2 Column 2</td>
</tr>
</table>

Example of a one page webpage with columns using divs,

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<div id="container" style="width:500px">

<div id="header" style="background-color:#FFA500;">
<h1 style="margin-bottom:0;">Main Title of Web Page</h1></div>

<div id="menu" style="background-color:#FFD700;height:200px;width:100px;float:left;">
<b>Menu</b><br>
HTML<br>
CSS<br>
JavaScript</div>

<div id="content" style="background-color:#EEEEEE;height:200px;width:400px;float:left;">
Content goes here</div>

<div id="footer" style="background-color:#FFA500;clear:both;text-align:center;">
Copyright © W3Schools.com</div>

</div>

</body>
</html>

Example of a one page website with columns using tables,

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<table style="width:500px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="background-color:#FFA500;">
<h1 style="margin:0;padding:0;">Main Title of Web Page</h1>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td style="background-color:#FFD700;width:100px;vertical-align:top;">
<b>Menu</b><br>
HTML<br>
CSS<br>
JavaScript
</td>
<td style="background-color:#eeeeee;height:200px;width:400px;vertical-align:top;">
Content goes here</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="background-color:#FFA500;text-align:center;">
Copyright © W3Schools.com</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>
The code for the 2 sections above was taken from www.w3schools.com. It is just an example and I would not suggest using their site for information.

Wow, I had no idea that there were so many scripts to chose from! Nothing like prewritten scripts, haha. I was actually going to set up a dummy (test) server to do some miscellaneous web things, but this thread made me realize that I could just host it on Google Sites, just for demos; that way, I don't have to set up an apache web server with FTP because Web IDE's can't compile very well. I feel like it makes me sound like a newb, but I am, sort of, thanks for the thread.

Thanks for these scripts. I used a lot a month ago when I was creating my website. Adding to your comment about paid web hosting - I started to work with Hostens. They provide shared hosting plana for me from 1.49$  per month and the service is qualitative.  You can at https://www.hostens.com/shared-hosting website

It's good to see most links are still functional, after 4 years of the thread's creation.
