How to Build a Website Once You Have a Domain NameIn Feburary 2016 25,

In Feburary 2016 25,
Access a web provider such as JustHost.com, 1and1.com or FatCow.com and review the hosting plans to see which one fits your needs best. You also can review a comprehensive web hosting comparison page such as Top-10-Web-Hosting.com (see Resources). A web host provider offers website-building tools along with space for your website files so that the files can be published on the Internet. Typically, you can purchase options that charge as little as a few dollars a month, or opt to pay a flat fee on a yearly basis.
Purchase a plan with your chosen provider and register your domain name. If you already have procured a domain through another site, such as register.com, you can simply enter this name during sign-up so that your host can assign this to your account. Otherwise, you can register the name during the purchase process by following the domain name registration prompts provided.
Log in to your web host account and locate a section such as 'site builder' to survey the tools that are available to help you build your website. Typically, these mechanisms are composed of menus and buttons that allow you to type in your web page content, format your data and insert features such as fill-in forms. Additionally, you can grab digital images from your computer and insert them into your web pages by using the tool's 'image upload' feature. Explore the interface and create the pages to build your website. Many hosts also offer ready-made web pages (templates) that you can simply edit as preferred. If you need help finding these features, access your web host's 'Help' page.
Use your host's 'Preview' feature to see how your website looks before you publish it. If satisfied, save your files by using the 'Save' link or button provided.
Transfer your web files to the directory that houses and publishes your website on the Internet. Look for a 'File Manager,' double click on it and go to a file typically labeled 'Public FTP.' Double click this folder and use the provided links and/or buttons to select your web files and upload them to this folder. When finished, simply type your domain address in a web browser to see your active (live) website.

How to Build a Christian Ministry WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 24,

In Feburary 2016 24,
Make a list of the basic features your website needs. Examples include a description of what the ministry does, details of events, Christian resources such as videos and articles and contact information. If you do not run the ministry yourself, collaborate with the pastor or ministry leader on this step.
Make a list of between five and 10 key words or terms that describe your website and the ministry. They should be simple words and phrases that Internet users are likely to type into a search engine. For example, if the ministry is a women's outreach in L.A., your key words might be 'women's ministry,' 'Bible teaching,' 'Christian growth' and 'Los Angeles.'
Write a short description of the website. It should feature key words and summarize the ministry and the content of the website. It will be the first thing people read when they find your website through a search engine.
Technical Requirements
Buy a domain name from a site such as Christian-Domains.com, GoDaddy.com or Domain.com. The domain name is what people type into the address bar to find the website, for example www.ehow.com. Memorable addresses contain the name of the ministry or a key word or phrase.
Fotolia.com'>
WWW in front of a domain name stands for 'World Wide Web.'
Buy hosting from a site such as TruePath.com, ChristianHosting.com or HostGator.com. Start with a less expensive package, unless you expect large visitor numbers straightaway.
Get a web design program. You can get free software from a site such as NetObjects.com, buy a very basic, inexpensive program from GoDaddy.com or invest in more substantial software such as Microsoft Expression Web.
Design and Publish
Create the first page using a template. Templates are available through most design programs, or you can find free Christian ministry templates at sites like MagicTemplate.com, ChristianTemplatesOnline.com and WebTemplatesGallery.com. Use a template with colors, design features and layout that will appeal to your Christian audience.
Add a menu, listing the main pages in the website, with links. The menu usually appears in the same place on every page. Update the menu as you add more pages, such as Sermons, Bible Study Resources or Contact Us.
Add text. If you want people to find the content easily through search engines, use simple language that they might use if typing in a search query, e.g. 'How to pray' or 'Find a church in my city,' especially in headings and subheadings.
Add images. Most web design programs come with clip art. You can find free Christian clip art at ChristArt.com, GospelGifs.com and CrossDaily.com.
Add your key words and description. Most web design programs tell you where to add this information so it is not visible on the page but visible to search engines. To add it manually to the html code, add the following code between
and
, adding the relevant information after 'CONTENT=':
.
Repeat steps 1 to 5 for other pages.
Upload the website to your hosting account. It will require a user name and password from your hosting provider. Consult the instructions for the web design program, as each program has its own procedure for publishing the website.

How to Create a Lead Capture Page for FreeIn Feburary 2016 24,

In Feburary 2016 24,
Sign up for an account with a free autoresponder service. These services let you create a series of email messages that the service sends out on a schedule that you choose. Autoresponder services offer form builders as a standard feature. A simple form, and one appropriate for most entry-level lead capturing, asks for a first name and email address. The autoresponder gives you a small piece of HTML code that you copy and paste into the HTML for your website or an HTML box in your content management system. The form then appears on your page. Numerous autoresponder services offer this at no cost, although some free services include advertisement in your emails to offset the service costs. Develop the email content before launching your lead capture page.
Domain and Hosting
If you already own a domain and employ a hosting service, the page itself costs you nothing. If you do not already own a domain or pay for hosting, you can get around paying for both. Numerous hosting services offer free hosting, and many provide a free sub-domain such as websitename.hostingservice.com. Free services tend to offer fewer bells and whistles, but most squeeze pages are so small and simple that it doesn’t affect page performance. Sign up with the hosting service to get the free service and sub-domain.
The Freebie
Few visitors give up their contact information for free. Internet norms dictate that giving up your email address means you get a freebie. The exact nature of the freebie depends, in part, on your business. If you deal primarily in intellectual materials, your business probably lends itself to a short report, white paper or ebook. A podcast offers a good alternative if you prefer talking to writing, and many people prefer listening to reading. If you provide a service, such as online identity protection, you might provide a checklist of simple ways to avoid identity theft without going off the grid.
Page Content
Once you get the technical elements in place and finish the preliminary content creation, develop the page content. An effective lead capture page starts with a compelling headline that identifies and promises a solution to a problem. An example headline might read, “You Can Be A Better Writer Today!” The headline identifies the problem, subpar writing, and promises a fix. The next step typically creates empathy with a short paragraph describing the individual’s plight and how the company understands it. The benefits of the freebie are described, typically with a bulleted list, and the page ends with a call to action. Calls to action ask the visitor to do something to get help with her problem, usually with a time-related word to create urgency. An example call to action might read, “Sign up now to get our 5 Steps to Better Writing Guide!”

How to Link a Domain Name to a Web Hosting PageIn Feburary 2016 20,

In Feburary 2016 20,
Obtain the DNS nameservers used by the company hosting your actual website. These are unique addresses that look something like web addresses (e.g., 'ns1.yourwebhost.com', 'ns2.yourwebhost.com'). There are usually at least two nameservers like these; often, your hosting company provides these to you at signup. If not, contact the hosting company for this information.
Change the DNS nameservers where your domain name is registered to the nameservers provided by your hosting company. Each registrar handles this step differently, but in most cases, you can access your domain name's nameservers online by logging into your account at the registrar's website. If you cannot easily find where to make these changes, contact the company where your domain is registered and ask how to do this. It usually takes between 24 and 48 hours for the changes to take effect once you change the nameservers.
Login to your web hosting account and associate your domain name with your website. Again, this process is different for each provider. Sometimes, you will already have a website created with a temporary web address; other times, you will access your online file manager and create a new folder for the domain name. Consult your hosting company's help documentation, or call the support line if you need assistance with this step. Your domain name will point to whatever webpage you have created as soon as the DNS nameserver changes take effect.

How to Sell Cell Phones Online for a HomeIn Feburary 2016 13,

In Feburary 2016 13,
Find an affiliate program. This is the easiest way to begin selling cell phones as it requires nothing to join and most programs will pay you up to $50 per sign up. Generally the phones are free if the customer signs up for a contract. See resources below for a list of potential affiliate programs.
Build your website. Most of these affiliate programs come with pre-built websites that are populated with all of the products and accessories. You just need to purchase a domain name and forward it to your affiliate link. To purchase a domain name you can go to sites like Godaddy, NameCheap, or Name.com.
Drive Traffic. Once you have your website set up, you will need to drive traffic to your site. There are several ways that you can do this. You can start off with paid traffic using pay per click traffic from sites like Google, Yahoo, or MSN (see resources). You can also purchase banner ads on sites like MyAds, AdBrite, or Facebook. If you don't want to buy advertising then you can write articles doing reviews of the cell phones and submit them to sites like EzineArticles, or GoArticles. You can also create video reviews of the cell phones and submit them to YouTube.com.

About Microsoft Web HostingIn Feburary 2016 11,

In Feburary 2016 11,
While Microsoft's web hosting is free, users are limited to a specific group of design templates. Images can be uploaded and text can be pasted into the template. Site owners log in through a secure website and access a control panel. The control panel includes the web design tools, site traffic reports and management functions for e-mail.
Features
Microsoft's web hosting comes with 500MB of server space, which is superior to most paid web services. There is an e-commerce add-on feature, which provides a shopping cart and secure site with 128-bit secure socket layering, or SSL. Domain hosting is also provided for $14.95 per year. Without a registered domain, customers are assigned a
.live.com address.
Email Accounts
With the web hosting comes access to 100 e-mail addresses for the company. These accounts include advertising on the webmail portal and in the footer of incoming mail messages to the mail client. Customers can pay $19.95 per year to remove the ads with the premium mail add-on. As part of the premium mail, users receive full e-mail, contacts and calendar synchronization with Microsoft Outlook. Since e-mail runs through Microsoft Live, virus protection and SPAM filtering services are included.
E-Commerce
The product's e-commerce capabilities feature a robust, database-driven architecture. With a capacity to catalog 10,000 items, business owners can manage product descriptions, set up sales tax tables, shipping and handling programs and inventory. The e-commerce tools also feature eBay integration, permitting business owners to offer products on their own store and on the online auction site.
Document Manager
One feature of the web hosting product is a document manager. This allows central storage of critical documents and manages versions so that the most up-to-date file is available to employees. While the document manager is primarily an internal tool, it has a feature to password protect and release files online. This would allow potential customers to pick up sales proposals or upload files in return.

What Does CC Mean at the End of a Web Address?In Feburary 2016 11,

In Feburary 2016 11,
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands are an Australian territory located in the Indian Ocean. Anyone can register a CC domain name from the VeriSign registration page (link in Resources). Domain names must be between three and 63 characters long and can contain letters, numbers and hyphens; you can't use special characters.
Usage of CC Domains
Because the CC domain name is short and easy to remember, it is used by companies -- such as cycling clubs -- as an abbreviation. CC can also be an abbreviation for Christian Church or Catholic Church, so it is used by some churches for their home pages. Google removed all co.cc domains -- which are not provided by the official CC registry -- from its search results in July 2011, because many of these domains were used to distribute spam and rogue security software.

I Could Not Connect to the Server in FileZilla 1and1In Feburary 2016 08,

In Feburary 2016 08,
Users often confuse hosting accounts with FTP accounts. You enter the username and password for your hosting account to access the website control panel on 1and1. This username and password is not even relevant to FileZilla. Instead, you need to retrieve the details for your FTP account to use FileZilla. You get an FTP username and password in the welcome email when you join. If you no longer have access to this email, get your FTP username from inside the panel and set up a new password.
Account Management
Access your admin control panel by logging into your hosting account. If you have more than one domain, choose which one you want to administer. Select 'FTP Accounts' in the 'Webspace' menu to see your username -- this is the username that you enter into FileZilla to upload files to your website. However, because the password is hidden even in your own account for security reasons, you need to create a new password if you do not know it. Click 'Edit' to see the option to create a new password. Write this and the username down on a piece of paper to make sure you are using the correct account details in FileZilla. You can also click 'New User' to set up additional usernames and passwords for FTP purposes.
Establishing a Connection
Now that you are sure you have the correct username and password for your FTP account, you need to enter the correct information in FileZilla. Open the software, then click the 'Site Manager' icon, which has an image of two computers, near the top. In the window that pops up, select 'New Site' and enter any name for this site, then enter your website address; however, do not enter the 'http' and 'www' portions of the address -- for example, enter 'MySite.com,' not 'www.MySite.com.' Leave the port as '21' and the server type as 'FTP,' but change the 'Logontype' option to 'Normal.' Enter the FTP username and password that you've retrieved from the 'FTP Accounts' section in your 1and1 hosting account. Click 'Save and Exit.' To establish a connection, click the 'Site Manager' icon again, select your website and click 'Connect.'
Other Troubleshooting
If you are still experiencing connection problems, you may have an issue with the FileZilla FTP utility. Because this is free software, download another copy from FileZilla's website. If you still cannot connect with a new copy, 1and1 may be having a server issue; call 866-991-2631 to check the server's status. Another option is to try another free FTP client to isolate whether the problem is FileZilla or 1and1. Examples include Core FTP and Go FTP.
