New to web hosting? don't worry its very simple hosting your own website!.


There are something known as web hosting companies which allow u to upload ur website to their servers. These may provide free or paid services. The only advantages of paid servers are few additional services (extra storage space, extra bandwidth, NO ADDS! etc.) . Once u signup and enter ur account u will find no. of tools which will help u manage ur site (file manager, automatic installer, database manager, etc) In free hosting u may not get a direct to your name website eg: if u signup on byethost.net you have a site yourname.byethost.net. And by having such


Sub-domain names its difficult to draw traffic coming from search engines(eg: google doesn't accept subdomain names to be added to their index.) So for a commercial site its necessary to have direct domain name. There are some domain name registrars whom you pay annually (Rs 350-750) to take up your own domain names . An alternative to these are what are known as url redirecters i.e. u signup with them for free & u get a short n sweet domain names (e.g. yourname.co.nr yourname.try.hu yourname.tk yourname.net.ts) When anyone enters these short domain names he reaches to your website u have stated in ur url redirect service account. To increase ur website traffic add ur site to all possible search engines. Also search and read all info about SITEMAP and ROBOTS.TXT on google. Add sitemap to your site make all the search engines search ur site faster!!! Optimise ur site & see that ur page titles indicate all the important keywords. Once you add sitemap to your server add it to search engines . Eg. To add it to google, use google webmaster tools.
