LOTS OF INTERNET PROVIDERS GIVE FREE HOSTING SPACE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, BUT THERE ARE OTHER INEXPENSIVE AND FREE WEBSITE HOSTS AVAILABLE

TRY LOOKING AT OTHER SITES FOR THEIR REQUIRMENTS BECAUSE SOME SITES REQUIRE MORE.

IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO COMPLETE YOUR WEBSITE BEFORE YOU UPLOAD IT, YOU CA N ADD PAGES AFTER UPLOADING.

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN.

YOU MAY NEED TO ASK THE WEBSITE HOST FOR IMFORMATION LIKE THE FTP NAME. THEY ALSO MAY NEED SPECIFICS AS TO HOW AND WHERE TO SAVE YOUR FILES.

ENTER YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND SERVER INFORMATION YOUR WEB HOST HAS PROVIDED.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT THE INFO THEN CONTACT YOUR WEB HOST

THE LEFT PANE WILL CONTAIN THE FILES ON YOU COMPUTER.

CREATE A FOLDER FOR YOUR WEBSITE PAGES IN THE RIGHT PANE.

THEN TAKE THE APPROPRIATE FILES FROM THE LEFT PANE AND UPLOAD THEM BY CLICKING THE UPLOAD BUTTON, IF THERE IS NO UPLOAD BUTTON, RIGHT CLICK ON FILE AND CLICK UPLOAD.
