You can use it for personal purposes, share some news and photos with your friends, make business, etc. Getting a site on-line is impossible without web hosting. However, web hosting is only one part of getting a website up and running. If you're new to the world of websites and web design here's a web hosting bible for you to follow.


'''1. Plan ahead.'''

Don't hurry to spend any money on web hosting, design or marketing services. Make a plan beforehand. What are your goals? Are you hoping to attract major traffic and customers or are you looking to reach a small but targeted audience? This will help you to determine how much space and bandwidth you need. Do you want to have an on-line shop and sell things with your site? Are you going to include photo galleries? 

'''2. Choose a hosting service according to your needs'''

Having your plan ready, you can start choosing a web hosting service to meet your needs. There are a lot of web hosting providers nowadays.

'''3. Build your site'''

Now it's time to build! Most web hosts offer site building tools such as Site Builder or SohoLaunch. If your web hosting provider doesn't offer tutorials in site building, you can go to http://myidealhost.com/tutorials and look for help there.

Make sure there are no spelling errors, broken links and design flaws on your site. When done, put it online for others to have a look. Your web hosting company should be able to help you with this. You'll need to upload your files to their server using FTP, control panel manager or another tool.
