Now that you have finished designing your debut website on your computer, you now need to put it on the internet where everyone can access it. The reason for this is because it is of no use designing a website, when it is not meant to be viewed on the internet. The usual way to deliver files to a web server is by File Transfer Protocol (FTP) after you have registered the domain name of your choice with a web hosting company online. I think I need to explain what a web server means. A web server is a computer that it permanently connected to the internet. The major significance of such computer is its continuous connection to the internet. This service is usually provided by web hosting companies. These companies are licensed to register domain names; they also host website files in order to make them visible on the internet.

The process of transferring your website files to the web server via FTP requires a User ID, password and FTP address for your pages, which your web space provider would have given you probably with FTP software also. Most HTML editing packages incorporate FTP software. They also usually synchronize the content to ensure you have the same files live and locally as well as check for broken links and dead files.

Majority of people store their web pages on a devoted web hosting service as I mentioned above. Nevertheless, once your computer is connected to the internet, it can also serve as a Web or FTP server, just by running the right software. You can even run your own server on a regular dial-up account, though of course your pages or files will only be accessible while you are online; and you will have a different IP address each time you log in, so you won’t be able to pass it on until you are online. This is operable enough if you just want to demo a couple of Web pages to a friend. However, if you want a good Web presence, you will need a permanent connection to run your own server.

It can be very easy to install servers; you only need to get yourself familiar with the instructions and you will be good at it in a short time. Very important to set properly are the security options. These are needed to allow only appropriate access to appropriate directories. Making your web pages read-only and your FTP incoming write-only will be your best bet. Anything different from these can get you hacked!
