   Once you have signed up for Hosting 

      (even Economy hosting is fine)

 and have registered your domain name 

        (any of the TLDs),
 
you are ready to save yourself a bunch of 
 
  $MONEY$ by following these FTP steps:

1. Acquire a ftp program
   (let us suggest either a FREE limited version
   (you can look for one at Download.com ),
   or retail version of WS_FTP Pro
   for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP (X86 Version),
   Version 7.5 Release Notes, Ipswitch, Inc.
   
2. If you downloaded WS_FTP Pro from the Internet,
   run the downloaded application, ftpproec.exe.
   Follow the instructions on your screen.
   
3. You can use notepad or wordpad to create your initial and
   all subsequent web pages, ie files with a .htm or .html
   extension, saving and collecting them in the same folder
   on your computer so you can find them again
   [Special Attn: We suggest that you get OpenOffice.org
   product Wordpad. Do Not Use IE Word - it inserts other
   characters and extra html coding into your pages!]
   (don't forget that you will need to save one of these
   notepad or wordpad pages as an index page as the starting
   page, a place for your website to link to your other pages)
   
4. Then sign up for hosting
   REMEMBER to SET your HOSTING
   to Auto renew to keep great price!
   
5. Register your domain name
   REMEMBER to LOCK your DOMAIN NAME
   to that server, so No one can Steal It!
   
6. Configure you new domain name, in the configuration panel
   at your domain name host, so that it is directed to where
   your website is hosted.
   
7. Configure your ftp program so that you can connect to your
   website host ( your domain name admin area), remember to
   write down your passwords, subdomain names etc, as you
   will need this info for accessing this area again)
   
8. connect to the webhost using the ftp program
9. upload/transfer your precreated webpage files into your webhost
   account (don't forget that you will need to save one of these
   notepad or wordpad pages as an index page as the starting page
   place for your website to link to your other pages)
10. disconnect and close ftp program after uploads are complete
11. Any time you need to make any changes to existing pages or create
    new pages you will need to edit and save them on your computer first, placing them into the folder you have already setup for that
    then use the ftp program to upload the changes or new file(s)
