Tony,

 

If this isn't a joke, and you really need help, there are lots of people here that are more than willing to help you, but I think you need to re-ask your questions in a more clear and concise manner.

 

I have no idea what you are asking.

It doesn't sound stupid. It can be quite a lot to get a site up and going.

 

There are a few things you need to get started. You need to purchase a hosting plan, and you need to purchase a domain and set it's nameservers to the addresses given in your welcome email. I am not sure what you have so far.

 

Another one of our new family members is going through the initial learning stages of getting a site running and there are some great tips and links in this thread that I'd suggest you go through.

I am treating your post as someone that actually needs help, though it is difficult to understand and sounds like a joke post....

 

You mentioned Frontpage in your first post. You can use Frontpage to build a website before you have a place to put it. Some people spend weeks getting ready before they go further. Others just jump in and build as they go.

 

The home page of your site is usually called the index.htm or index.html page. When you build your site in Frontpage, you can set which page becomes your index page (home page).

 

To have a website you have to have

- a domain name (ex: myste.com $7-$20/yr depending on where you purchase)

- a hosting plan. The host rents computer space to hold your website files (as low as $4/mo, $44/yr here at TCH)

- Files to put on a website (you can write them in Notepad, or Frontpage, or any other software that produces webpages) including HMTL, images, etc.

 

Buy a name if you do not have one.

Then buy a hosting package.

Then you can upload your website files to the host server.

Then people can visit your site.
