420214 2006-01-11 21:32:00 Hi all

Just after some quick info please.

I am wanting to create a website, pretty basic with about 10 pages.

I have Frontpage and I have some webpage templates already so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good host that I would be able to use my existing Frontpage templates on.

I was looking at TJR networks but am I right in thinking that I need to obtain a domain name first?

I am not overly up with the old web page thingamejig, but I am pretty computer literate and a quick learner so don't think it would be too long before Igot the hang of it (wishful thinking perhaps).

Thanks in advance.

420216 2006-01-11 23:04:00 You can get free hosting from a few people here. PM me if you want a free account set up.

More about free hosting here: www.pressf1.co.nz

Also, I strongly suggest working your way through the html/css guides at http://www.htmldog.com/ to the intermediate level. Maybe the Page Layout under CSS Advanced if you feel up to it as well.

420218 2006-01-12 00:12:00 Ok, I just thought having a wee bit more understanding would help if things happen to go wrong with pages. Havn't useed Frontpage for a loong time, so I don't really know what it is like. mejobloggs (264)
420219 2006-01-12 00:39:00 No, that's cool. I really want to learn HTML and all the other stuff but I thought it might be easier to get something simple up and running quickly using Frontpage.

I have been reading the link at HTML Dog and it is very interesting!

THanks.

420220 2006-01-12 01:19:00 Another Good Place for free hosting (If you are looking that way is Orcon http://www.orcon.net.nz (I am unsure if they still letting sign up, but check out there website any how) stu161204 (123)
420221 2006-01-12 03:26:00 I recommend www.webbase.co.nz (http://www.webbase.co.nz), they have FrontPage support and are New Zealand based. superuser (7693)
420222 2006-01-12 03:44:00 Check your own isp, as a lot of them give you 10mb free with your monthly bill. I know paradise does, and I think xtra also does. supergran (108)
420223 2006-01-12 08:07:00 It is unlikey free hosting provided by an ISP will come with support for FrontPage extensions.

FP extensions are required for many of the features in frontpage to work. Especially older versions.

My :2cents:
