Right… Parents are having a big joint 60th (which none of you are invited to!)… They have asked me to make a website for it, so this will be the start of a very long process… (The party is in October!).
First off… I need a domain name and webspace… anyone got any suggestions/reccomendations?
Ooooo just to add some more info – I think they are inviting 200 or so people… so presume about that many will be checking the site… I need to display information about guest houses around the area, so presume it will get quite a bit of repeat views… I know fuck all about bandwidth etc… but have heard you can get shafted if you use more than your allocation… so need to take that in to account…
turks – you cant go wrong with this – works out 24 quid for the year inc domain name
other wise if you want a bit of hand holding bung me 15 quid and i will setup you up with some space and domain name.
Cheers for the offer mate, but think I should do it the hard way – get to know the ropes…
Will give the site a look – any idea on which package I should go for, with the above useage in mind?
cheers
erm Ithink 1and1 were the people that the rats just cancelled their forums with, I know it’s not going to be that hardcore, but just check with them to make sure mate
Pfft… just typed a tutorial which took me best part of 3 hours.. realised I wasnt invited and thought.. Well F You then and deleted.
😛

i wasn’t offering to set your website up – just offering some cheap webspace and a domain name for you
you just need the cheapest package from 1and1 or i will host your site for 10 quid cheaper
You could always give Dataflame a go. I guess they are like 1and1, and provide a hosting service. But you also get a load of freebies that are easy to install and give a wide variety of choices for website authoring – everything from vanilla HTML through full content management system. There’s no significant bandwidth limits.
I’ve used them for a few years, and (famous last words) they’ve been pretty good.

Oooo can you build the website for that tenner!?
Soooo… I am making this website, and Im stuck at the first hurdle:
How come the text is so far apart?! How can I make it closer together? Fuck front page is stressful!
http://www.123-reg.co.uk is ideal for you.
register a cheap domain and they give you a 10 page website that you can make using easy templates.
Even have a message page like a mini forum for questions etc.
hope this helps
If you’re using frontpage, get used to editing HTML, you will end up stripping out about 1/2 of it……
Now i mention HTML, have a go at messing around with the tags within the HTML editor of frontpage (i assume it has one), you should soon find a way of tidying up the text exactly how you want it……i would offer to help but its been years since i messed around with it.
Will give it a go…
Think I need more freedom than that Mr Zulu – and a hell of a lot more pages! I have made sites before, just pinched free templates off the net, and fiddled with them – never made my own one from scratch before… Its a steep learning curve 🙂
