Download a server program. Apache HTTP Server is a reliable, easy-to-use web-server program that can be downloaded for free.
Install the program. When prompted, enter the name of the domain (website.com) and the server name (www.website.com). Also enter the email address for the site's administrator.
Click \'Next\' and complete the installation using the \'Typical Installation\' setting. Apache will install its files to C:\Program Files\Apache Group.
Change the server directory. If you're using Apache, go to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf and open the file httpd.conf. In the file, find the reference to \'DocumentRoot.\' Change the Document Root file path to point to the folder where the website files to be hosted are located. If the website files are in C:\Webfiles, change the file to say \'DocumentRoot: C:\Webfiles\' and save the file.
Restart Apache.
Open a Web browser and visit http://localhost/ and it should show the index.html page from whatever folder has been assigned as the DocumentRoot. The server is now configured.

How to Make an Online Application FormIn Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
Create your online application with basic HTML form code. The form code allows your applicant to visit a page on your Web site and type his information directly into the browser, such as name, address, educational background or previous employment for a job application. When the user clicks 'Submit,' your Web server will transmit the form to your email address for your review. See 'Resources' for more information and the basic HTML code to create a web form.
Create a PDF form as another alternative for your online application. Adobe Acrobat Professional (version 7.0) has a tool that allows you to create 'fillable' PDF forms for display on your Web site. Upload your application form (in a word processing or spreadsheet file) to the Acrobat program. Click 'Advanced,' 'Forms' and then 'Make Forms Fillable' to pull up the tool and start creating the fillable fields for your application. The visitor can then download the PDF application to his browser, fill out the information, save it to his computer and email it to you for review.
Use SurveyGizmo's web-based form creator service to make your online application. The service helps you create the application, embed it on your Web site and even analyze the applicant's answers from your account dashboard. Create an account to start a free trial to get familiar with the service, select a template (such as the job application template) and start entering your questions for the applicant.

How to Host a Go Daddy Domain on HostGatorIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Select a domain name for your website. Take some time with this and make sure that the domain name you choose is descriptive and spelled correctly.
Navigate to Go Daddy (godaddy.com) and register your domain name.
Go to HostGator (hostgator.com) and register for a hosting plan for your website. Choose a plan that will suit your current and future goals. If you think you'll eventually have more than one blog in the near future, it's a good financial decision to purchase a plan that will let you host more than one site for one low price, rather than paying $5 per site each month.
After completing your host plan purchase, HostGator will send you a confirmation email thanking you for your purchase. The site will also send you an email with the subject line, 'Your HostGator Account Information.' Save this email (save a hard copy by using your computer printer, and save it in your email account).
Navigate to Go Daddy once again, and log in.
From the top navigation bar, click 'Domains' and select 'My domains' from the drop-down menu. A new page or tab (depending on your browser) will appear, listing all of the domains you've purchased from Go Daddy. Check the box next to the one you want to host on HostGator. After checking the box, a navigation bar will fill in above the domain name list.
Click 'Nameservers.' This will open up a new section at the top of your screen.
Select the 'Custom nameservers (I host my domains elsewhere)' radio button.
Open up the saved email that HostGator sent you and find the section that states, 'Your name servers:'
In the Go Daddy Nameservers Control Panel, replace the nameserver in the 'nameserver 1' box with the first value that HostGator sent you. It should look like XXXXXX.hostgator.com (with the Xs being your unique values that HostGator assigned).
Next, replace the nameserver in the 'nameserver 2' box with the second value that HostGator sent you. It should look like XXXXXX.hostgator.com (with the Xs being your unique values that HostGator gave you).
Click the orange 'Okay' button to finish the process.
Log in to your HostGator account. Add your Go Daddy domain to your hosting plan and you're done.

How to Host a Charity Date AuctionIn Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
You will need an event space, bidding paddles, a ticket desk and volunteers to run the event. Ask vendors in your local community if they would be willing to donate decorations, food or drinks. Of course, you will also need some fun-loving singles to volunteer to be auctioned off at the event. Tell participants more about your cause or organization in advance and describe what they will be expected to contribute. Speak with neighborhood restaurants and ask if they will be willing to donate the cost of a meal for two for the dates after the auction. If you are unable to secure a meal, speak with coffee shops or ice cream parlors about donating two scoops or two lattes. Have a date organized in advance for the winning bidders.
Publicity
Publicize your event widely across media platforms. Post fliers in neighborhood shops, cafes and community centers. Promote the auction through email and social media. Ask participating bachelors and bachelorettes to publicize the auction on their personal pages. Suggest that they write cute profile updates, such as “Would you like to take me on a memorable date? Ask me out at the charity bachelorette auction this Friday night at the Greenwood Community Center. All auction proceeds will be donated to the Greenwood Humane Society. I hope you will be the winning bidder!”
Appropriate Boundaries
Be sure to remind winning bidders that this is a fun, innocent, charity event. They should be made to understand that the dates have no obligation beyond the agreed upon appointment. It is expected that bachelors and bachelorettes will follow through on their dates. However, if they are made to feel uncomfortable or threatened at any time, they may end the date early. The comfort and safety of the auction participants is key.
Decide How the Auction Will Work
You can run the auction in a traditional manner. This entails having each bachelor or bachelorette walk across the stage while the emcee or auctioneer looks out to the audience for a winning bid. However, the traditional auction model can get very rowdy. If you would like to organize a quieter or calmer auction, consider running it as a silent auction. Have each bachelor or bachelorette submit a photo and a brief biography. Set out each photo and biography on a long table and allow people to write in their bids throughout the night. Towards the end of the night, announce that the silent auction will be ending in 10 minutes and ask everyone to submit their final bids. Then the emcee can read the names of the winning bidders aloud.
The Date
It is easiest to connect the winning bidder with his bachelorette and then allow them to plan their own date if the organization has not gained a donation of dinner, concert tickets or other entertainment. The event organizer can provide an exchange of the couple’s phone numbers and email addresses. Then, leave it to them to find the right place and time for their dream date. Check in with the bachelorette after the date to see how the date went. If the couple ends up being a love match, ask if you can include them in a promotion for next year’s event.

Choose a domain name, which will be the unique online location for your website. Use an online site like GoDaddy.com or NetworkSolutions.com to help you determine which sites are available. The best domain names are ones that are similar to your business name and easy to spell and remember. While .com sites are the most popular, don't overlook .net or .biz domains. Try to avoid using a domain name that would get confused with a popular website or competitor.
Secure a domain name. Once you have selected the name you'd like to use for your website, you will need to purchase it at an online hosting site like GoDaddy.com or DotEasy.com. You should also consider purchasing any related website names, such as .org, .net and .biz domains, to avoid confusion if someone sets up a website with a similar name to the one you have chosen for your business.
Purchase a web hosting package. Services like the ones mentioned above offer a variety of packages for online website and email hosting. Basic packages are available for a nominal fee. You should select your package based on specific needs, such as bandwidth, email accounts, storage needs and MySQL database need, subdomain availability and secure SLL certification. It may be beneficial to discuss your specific needs with a website designer or a web savvy friend to ensure that you purchase the best hosting package for your business.
Develop your site design and content. Before programming your website, you will need to determine its content. Information about you and your company, news items, events, blogs, photos and contact information are common components of most websites. You will also want to determine your website's navigation--how the information is presented and is accessed from one page to the next. It may be helpful to work with a professional copywriter and website designer to help you determine the best way to develop and organize content for your site.
Program your site, either using a professional website designer, an online service such as Homestead.com or iBuilt.com or an html software package like Adobe Dreamweaver. Online sites and downloadable software packages offer step-by-step instructions for website development and programming, including built-in templates, guides for downloading images and uploading content and customizable colors.
Upload your site. Once you have programmed and tested your website, you'll want to make it live. Send the link to customer and friends to help spread the word about your business. You may want to include a link for submitting feedback on your content and design to help improve your website's look and functionality.
