WEB BASICS TO WEBSITE TONIGHT
Web sites are made of many different parts. Although each part has a specific purpose and function, it’s how the parts work together that makes a Web site valuable to the user.

The shell for your site is your domain name and hosting account. Once you have those, you can build your site by adding images, text, pages, forms, etc. - all at your discretion.
Hosting Your Web Site: Now you need somewhere to store, or host, the files that make up your site. To do this, you need a hosting account, which links your files to your domain name. Luckily, WebSite Tonight comes with free hosting and it automatically updates and stores your files when you publish your Web site.
Building Your Web Site
You have the shell in place, now you’re ready to pick your site’s features. You have a lot of options in front of you, and your site can be as simple or complex as you want. You can add forms, set up a discussion forum, insert images, include a flash introduction, and more. It’s all up to you. Some features depend on whether you have a free or paid account, and you cannot exceed the number of pages you have with your plan. You should keep this in mind as you design your site.
