best webhosting sites
There are lots of very inexpensive (under $5.00/month) sites to choose from.
Our son signed up with GoDaddy several years ago and he gave me rights and space. We have never had a problem.
After you select a site you will want to find a good ftp (file transfer protocol) tool. There are 2 available from Mozilla. Fireftp loads within a tab/window of Firefox and it works great https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireftp/. There is also a standalone version: https://filezilla-project.org/. They both work the same way. It is much like using MyComputer from Windows. The left window is your PC and the right window is the server where you will make your files accessible from the internet.
There are several free HTML editors that will help you develop your web pages. You can also use Notepad.
I use KompoZer which is a free WYSIWYG HTML development tool from Mozilla http://kompozer.net/. It hasn't been updated for the latest HTML 5 but works fine for general HTML 4 and CSS file handling.
There are organizations that provide listings of HTML and the proper syntax.
- W3C - http://www.w3.org/
- MDN Mozilla Developers Network - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/learn
When done with a page you can validate the page with the W3C validator for accuracy in coding practices:
- validator http://validator.w3.org/
