And so on we have many HTML tags. We will be discussing all important tags later.
Full form of HTML is “hypertext markup language”. It is most basic web designing language basic for all web page development. HTML is very easy to learn and simple to use. An alternative to HTML coding is WYSIWYG editor, but it is good to do own coding to build your HTML pages. You must know HTML to learn other web designing languages. HTML need simple text editor like notepad to do coding. Write your HTML codes on a notepad and save the file as anything.html ot anything.htm
The saved file should open in a web broswser, and you can see how your HTML page will look in a web browser.
HTML is based on tags. It contains “markup tags”, that tell web browsers how to follow the instructions enclosed between the tags. The HTML tags are written within brackets <>
Every tag has a start point and a end point. Like for a paragraph:
<p> -> start tag of paragraph
</p> -> start tag of paragraph
Text and instruction is enclosed within the tag. Tag and instruction in HTML are not case sensetive. Every HTML document start with the tag <html> and end with the tag </html>, indicating start and end of the HTML document.
A basic or simple HTML format is:
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
Text on the webpage
</body>
</html>
Most people don’t know about web designing, but want to have a personal website. For such people there is solution too. There are few sites which offer free webhosting and ready made tools, templates to create your website.
Blog is best tool to make your personal websites. There are few free blogging software which offer webhosting also. I don’t want to suggest many free blogging options, but I will suggest the best. There are two best blogging software and both are free.
1) wordpress
wordpress is a free opensource blogging software. Visit www.wordpress.org to get a free account. There are lots of themes and plugins to make your website more powerful and attractive.
2) Blogspot
Blogspot is a Google service. It is another good free blogging service. You can use your google account to get started at blogspot. Visit www.blogspot.com to get started with blogspot.
Everyone wants to start with a free webhosting. Free webhosting is a good thing to get started and learn basics of web building. But once you are serious about your website, must go for a reliable paid hosting.
Below is list of few good reliable free webhosting.
1) Yahoo Geocities
Get started at http://geocities.yahoo.com/
2) Google Pages
Register you free google page account at http://pages.google.com
3) www.frihost.com
It is actually a post to host service. You need to post regularly on their forum to keep your free hosting account active.
4) www.ej.am
It is also a post to host service.
5) 110mb.com
It is a complete free hosting. But they have few limitations like SMTP off etc.
And there are many more free hosting. Google “free hosting” and you will find many more free host providers. But free web hosting always have few limitations like forced banners, ads and pop-ups, No database, SMTP off etc. And with all that they are never reliable. They can shut down your website anytime. But it is good to learn on a free webhosting. Again I am repeating, once you are serious about your website, must go for a paid reliable hosting. One host provider which I want to recommend is whost.in It is fast, reliable Indian based webhosting company. Good thing about whost.in is that it is very affordable, starting Rs. 300/- per year only. I will rate whost.in as Best Indian WebHosting provider.
If you still don’t want to spend money for buying domain names, there are few free domain name provider also. But again free domain name have limitations, and don’t look professional. So, its always recommend to buy a good domain name. Below are list of few free domain name provider:
1) www.co.cc
You can get a domain name like www.yourname.co.cc
2) http://www.freedomain.co.nr/
You can get a free domain name like www.yourname.co.nr
3) http://www.cjb.in
You can get a free domain name like www.yourname.cjb.in
4) http://www.dot.tk
You can get a free domain name like www.yourname.tk
5) http://www.uni.cc
You can get a free domain name like www.yourname.uni.cc
But again I will suggest to buy a good domain name as it hardly cost between Rs. 300/- to Rs. 350/- or around 8-9 $. I will recommend whost.in for buying domain names.
After buying domain name you need to buy a web hosting. There are few free hosting also, but I will always recommend you to get a paid hosting. Free hosting always has some limitations like:
1) They may put some ads.
2) They may put some restriction like SMTP off, No database etc
3) They may ask some fee after your website is stable
So, it is always advice to get a paid hosting with all features. Before you buy a hosting you must ask these queries from your host.
1) Server configuration.
2) Datacenter location and details.
3) Uptime guarantee
4) Money return policy.
5) Terms and condition
6) How long the company is in business.
Best thing is do some Google search of that company to find some reviews of that company. Now you need to decide what type of hosting you need, either Windows or Linux. Start with small package like of around 10$ per year. Ok, at last I would like to recommend a hosting company, whost.in
Whost.in is cheap and very reliable. They have great server with 99.9% uptime guarantee else money return policy.
First step to get started is selecting your domain name, and get it registered. Domain name means name of your website like web-tut.com, You must choose right domain name. If you want to website for your company, than domain name must should have company name or the short form of the company name. If the website is for personal use, than you may use your own name or anything which you like. If the domain name is regarding any niche than you should select domain name with terms related to that niche. This put better impression of your site and also help in search engine optimization. Getting a domain name as per like is very difficult these days. So, you may use – in domain name to get a like one. Few points while selecting domain name:
1) Prefer short domain name.
2) Domain name should be easy to remember.
3) Don’t misspell the words.
There are lots of term related to website like domain name, webhosting, server, web design languages etc. So, to have a website you need a domain name which will be name of your website and webspace where you will save your files. If you Google domain name or webhosting, you will get millions of search result offering differing features and price. So, what to select ??? Don’t worry. We have everything explained here.
