designer every time you need to change or add a page. Web browsing
software like Internet Explorer and Fire Box help to present your
website to the internet viewers. A website is a collection of files that
are arranged in a uniform way according to the web design. Web designing
or website creation is essentially a process of arranging the
information in a way to be translated by the web browser to the viewers.
The collection of files include image documents, HTML documents,
software, PHP scripts and Java scripts.

or a multi pages document. After creating your website with all the
necessary files it has to be uploaded to the web server which is acting
as your host. Uploading your website to the server is called File
Transfer Protocol (FTP). Your web host or web server is a powerful
computer, operating around the clock. Your website needs to be stored in
a common place so that viewers across the world can access it easily.
Your web server acts the host to store the files of your web site. FTP
is like transferring a file from one folder to another folder as you
normally do while using the computer. The only difference is, here you
are transferring your website files from your computer to the server of
your web host.
You need a FTP client to transfer the
files. It is installed on your desktop. It facilitates easy connection
to the web server to upload files or download them to your computer.
Before uploading your website it needs a name so that it can be called,
by browsing the internet. Your website name is the domain name. Register
a domain name and synchronies this domain with your host account. Only
then the internet browsers can type your domain name and reach your
website by making a contact with your web hosting service.

web host provider. Knowing the use of control panels makes it easier to

hope this will give you some understanding of the website creation and
uploading it to a web server. It is not possible to explain in details

overview of how to plan your website theme and model and transferring
your website files to the web server. All that you need is an initiative
