There are three key ways you can create a website. You can use a code or language and write it yourself, you can use an application program to design it and prepare the code for you, or you can use preformatted templates and add your own input via a wizard like interface.
To code a web page yourself you will need an understanding of a language compatible with HTTP, the most used is a simple Hyper Text Mark-up Language. It enables you to write codes into text that advise a web page how to format text and other items on the page. More advanced “languages” include XML, PHP, VBScript.

File Transfer Protocol is part of the TCP/IP suite of protocols that allows files to be <a href="http://isp.sitesource.com.au/">transferred
over the Internet</a>. Once you have created a web page and stored it on your computer, FTP enables you to transfer it to your web server.
There are a number of devices that can help you do this, some Internet Browsers come with the capability to FTP files or there are specific application programs that you can use like WS-FTP. Many hosting services also offer the ability to use an interface on their server to upload files from your computer, often using a simple to understand interface that lets browse to files on your hard drive for upload.

It is simply a process of finding a domain name that suits you, that isn’t already taken and then purchasing the domain. In the case of “.au” domains you will need to be a <a href="http://solutions.sitesource.com.au/">registered
Australian business</a>. You can only <a href="http://estore.sitesource.com.au/">purchase</a> Australian domains for a two year period. American domains (like .com) can be purchased for longer periods, but this is not recommended, as there are many reasons you may wish to change domain registrar in the future.
Once you register your domain you will need to provide the DNS details of your web server’s host. Some domain sellers only offer to park your domain and charge extra to forward enquiries to your website, ensure that you factor this additional cost when dealing with them (SiteSource uses registrars that include DNS forwarding in their prices).
