How Do I Get My Own WebSite Onto The Web?

 this is an common question to all and i found a great article while browsing . So tht of publishing it.
Hope the owner wont mind it. The original article can be viewed from the link below.

http://www.antharjalaya.com/how-do-i-get-my-own-website-onto-the-web/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Antharjalayacom+(antharjalaya.com)
  here's how to do it,

Step 01: Register a domain name

Domain name is your identity on the web. For example this web site’s identity is “antharjalaya.com”. You need to use a domain registrar in order to purchase the domain name. It will typically cost you less than $10.

I would advise you to buy a “dot com” name instead of other extensions. Try adding a hyphen and seperate the words if your desired name is not available in dot com format.
i.e
If startforextrading.com is not available try registering start-forex-trading.com

If it is impossible to buy your domain name in the dot com format try dot org or dot net. If your target market is limited to a specific country buying a country specific domain is also advisable.

I have posted a complete step by step tutorial on how to buy a domain name in one of my earlier blog post. Read it here.

Step 02 : Create your web site.

Make sure you present your web site with a high level of quality, functionality, and professionalism. You can hire a web designer if you you do not have any previous experience. This is the most common approach adopted by many web entrepreneurs and this is the easiest way to get your web site up and running.

Hiring a web designer will cost you approximately $100- $1500 and higher price web designers are not always the best. So, have a very good look at their portfolio before making any upfront payment.

Designing your own web site can be a quite entertaining experience
if you are a quick learner.You need to learn little HTML but it is not difficult considering all the resources available online.

You can use a simple text editor to write your HTML pages, or you can utilize on of the many free HTML editors available on the web.

I use Adobe Dreamweaver software as it does all the HTML coding for me. But you are still required to learn the basics of HTML. If you know how to use MS word, it will not be difficult to use Dreamweaver.

Website templates.

One easy way to get your website design is to begin with a template. Website templates are Semi finished web pages that have been predesigned and assembled with all the graphics and necessary code needed to get a web site online quickly.

The above is an example for a fashion/ clothing template. You can just edit the text and make it your own web design.

There are many places on the web where you can buy templates, or get them for free. An important aspect of using a template is to utilize as much customization as possible. For a startup company, a template is a good way to save some money and focus on keeping up a positive cash flow.

Many web hosts provide Free web site templates. Keep this fact in mind when you are choosing a web host. If you sign up with a quality host You will find many premium designs for free.

Step 03: Choose a web hosting plan

In order for your website to be available to anyone at anytime, you need to host it with a web host. It is a web server leased to you by a web hosting company. Basically, web hosting provides a way for people to access your web site through the internet. Without it, there would be no way for people to see the page.

There are several thousand web hosting companies out there to choose from. It’s best to chose a web hosting company based on a recommendation. You need to look for following details before making this very important decision.

1. Reliability and speed of access
2. Bandwidth allocated to you.
3. Disk space given to you.
4. Their Technical support.
5. Availability of FTP, PHP, Perl, SSI, .htaccess, telnet, SSH, and MySQL.
6. Email, Autoresponders, POP3, Mail Forwarding.
7. Control Panel type.
8. Multiple Domain Hosting and Subdomains.
9. Price
10.Monthly/Quarterly/Annual Payment Plans.

I have posted a complete step by step tutorial on how to set up a hosting account in one of my earlier blog post.Read it here.

The following are the best web host companies I can recommend for you to use. I have done an in depth analysis of all these providers and they simply meet all the criterias of a good host.

Hostgator

This is what I use for all my web sites. I bought one unlimited plan and now I am hosting over dozen web sites with Hostgator without paying anything extra.

Special Features :
One click blog/ forum and other scripts installation.
Excellent support staff.
45 Day Money Back Guarantee.
Beautiful and professional web template gallery.
Starting at $4.95 a month.

Blue Host

They will give you a domain name for free and Unlimited domains can be hosted for no extra charge. Starting at $6.95 a month.

Fat Cow

They will provide a Free Domain name, Unlimited disk space, Unlimited bandwidth and Point & Click Site Building Tools.
Other than that they will fix you with $75 worth FREE advertising.
They do not have a monthly payment plan and their service will cost you $66 a year. ($ 10 off for our readers for a limited time and your cost will only be $56.)

PoWWEb

Free Domain name, Unlimited disk space, Unlimited bandwidth and Script Instant Installer starting at $4.88 a month.

Step 04 : Upload your site to the web.

There are 2 ways of uploading your web site files to Internet. The most common method is via FTP. FTP allows you to quickly transfer many files and I am using the FREE software “filezila” for this purpose.

Another method is to use the File Manager within your cPanel control panel, which has an upload feature which allows you to browse your computer and select the files you wish to upload.

Time will not stop and wait for you

If you have an idea for a web site , start acting on it today. Don’t wait till you learn everything. That will never happen. You cannot learn to swim by reading a guide book. This is the same.

I did not know anything about building web sites until I start building one. My first web site taught me everything I need to build and run a web site.

It will not cost you more than $15 to start. ( $10 for the domain name and $5 for the first month hosting.) Allocate one hour from your day and you will end up with a rewarding web site in 14 days.

Maara Gas!

TM Dilshan banned on entering Zimbabwe Reports reaching from the Zimbabwe government in Harare state, the African nation's government had banned the Sri Lankan star cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan from entering its country.  The ban has been in active as per an alleged rape case that has taken place during the Sri Lankan cricket team's tour in Zimbabwe, which took place in June 2010. Reports state, Dilshan had raped a 17 year old white girl in an undisclosed location. Dilshan was the captain of the Sri Lankan team for this tour while 22 year old Angelo Mathews was the Vice Captain. Reports reaching theNEWSmaster state, Dilshan along with Jeevan Mendis and Dilhara Fernando had visited a night club in Zimbabwe where they had forcefully taken the 17 year old to the above undisclosed location. Following this 'abduction' interestingly only Dilshan had raped her.  Police reports of the African nation confirm, DIlshan had also been in custody for about 24 hours where he was released by the authorities as the Sri Lanka Cricket interim Committee had bribed several hierarchical police officers and members of the media. The above two parties had been bribed US $ 13,000 to avoid the 'rape incident' getting exposed.  Meanwhile unofficial reports reaching from the Sri Lankan government state, the Sri Lankan President had been aware of the incident from top to bottom.  It is learnt, Dilshan is accused over several incidents regarding match fixing and several members of the Interim committee too had been chained with these allegations and as a result these unlawful activities are left behind without getting exposed!  theNEWSmaster: HARARE; ********************************************************************************************************** there is a old Sinhalese saying "No flame without a fire".

a comment from a soldier....

September 8, 2010 04:10 pm

Once I was proud soldier becuase you too were from my regiment. I still proud of my regiment, but sad becuase you too were from same regiment. General sir, do you think ordinary soldiers are stupid, power blinded and pettyminded as you are? As stories unfolded and judgging by the your bahaviour it was you and only you could possible stage a coup against lawfully elected government. No other soldier or military leader will do that. We all know how H.E. President Rajapakse and Hon Secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse led this war against terror. We know for sure how you used internal military power to your personal gains and your family gains. You used your powers to support your daughters and son in law. It was you who brought personal undue influence for family gains. Do not ever think that military personals are fools. They know very well what H.E. Rajapakse did for this country and his leadership. If President is like "sun" you are like "torch" no comparison at all.

Sri Lanka players fixed ODI claims Indian bookie

haha crap these fucking Indians are involved in all (evry incident happen so far)  bookie dramas n now they are after Sri Lanka. Remember it was 5 Indian Players who got sacked dealing with bookies not SL players. These shit heads are behind the pakistani player scandal as well. These Indian shit heads wil ruin others countries cricketing image by getting their players involved, then claim that indian players are clean.Fucking retarders. 

SL should Sue this bookie owner!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/sports/cricket/6311-sri-lanka-players-fixed-odi-claims-indian-bookie.html

A high scoring One Day International Sri Lanka played and lost by a narrow margin in India last year had been fixed by Sri Lanka players, a top Indian bookmaker had told Indian newspaper Times of India.

The Bookmaker who was referring to the India vs. Sri Lanka ODI played at Rajkoton December 15, 2009 was quoted by the newspaper as saying "Saaf nahi tha (it wasn't clean)".

He had also told that it was the Sri Lankan players who had fixed the match. "That was the last match that I heard was suspicious. I can also say that Indian players are clean. They're among the most impeccable, especially the senior players," he was quoted by Times of India as saying.

The newspaper named the bookie as “Ramesh bhai”, a 42-year-old Marwari bookmaker worth 100 billion Indian Rupees in his own words, living 100 km from Jabalpur.

Sri Lanka won the toss, elected to field and India ran amok scoring 414 runs on a placid track. In reply, Sri Lanka rode on Tillakaratne Dilshan's massive 160 and almost chased the target before falling short by a mere three runs.

Sri Lanka bowled 27 extras in the game, India bowled 21 and a total of 825 runs were scored at the Madhavrao Scindia ground in Rajkot that day.

"Sri Lanka were 401/5 with just 14 more runs needed from seven balls. The bets were coming in fast because punters wanted to balance the stakes. At the start, India looked firm favourites and there were almost no takers forSri Lanka win. But towards the end, it all became a frenzy," the bookie had said.

Right then, he had received a text message on his mobile. The sender was a 20-year-old boy from Rajasthan who earlier used to work for him as a cleaner. He wrote: "Sab saude kaat do, aur call mat lena. India match le jar raha hai (Cancel all deals and don't take any further bets. India is winning the game)."

The bookmaker had said that instinct made him listen to his former employee and he turned out right. India won by three runs.

What was behind the SMS may never be known but the bookie continues to harp on the rumour of the amount of money that was transacted that night. "I am told that money around Rs 28 crore ($ 7 million or 805 million SL Rupees) changed hands that night," he said.

“India won that match with a ball to spare and someone sitting in Rajasthan had shelled out Rs 28 crore ($ 7.5m) to take the game till there and yet plant a result. I cannot tell you who the boy is or who he works for. That's the crux of our business, the network. If I didn't get that call, I would've ended up losing quite a bit of money that day.” He had added.

UNP to hand over no confidence motion

Sri Lanka News-Adaderana-Truth First - UNP to hand over no confidence motion against GL - source

after reading this readers comment i felt i dnt have to write any thing....well said to the point :)

"Do not fight with GL. Please bring no confidence mortion against general public of 6 million voters who vote for Mahinda. We, the general public wanted President to not to capitulate or surrender to terms of EU. In fact President very openly and bravely informed EU that we do not want GSP+ on their terms. After all it was Ranil, Jayalath J, Pakiyasoorthi, Gehan Perera who ran to EU and West to lick boots of their white master to stop GSP+ to my country. Those who did everything to stop is now bringing vote of no confidence in Parliament. Agsinst whom? GL? In fact GL has nothing to do with this. President Rajapakse with full backing of general public rejected all terms that EU spelled in to obtain GSP+. In fact GL has been very successful in all missions entrusted to him and he is only second to Mr Luxsman Kadiragamer who did yeoman service to mother Lanka."
