Im with Virgin for my Internet. Id like a small website just for my business to show previous jobs for customer reference. Am i right in thinking with you ISP you get so much webspace free?

Aint a clue! What do i do?

 

who is ya provider lee?

 

as said, Virgin, ian

 

pay someone to sort it Lee.

 

i miss read that. I thought it said you was internet virgin

well you should get with them i think its 10mb webspace. There should be a link on their site which will guide you on how to build it etc. Sometimes you may need Frontpage etc, but it all depends what ya want from it.

 

Not made of money Dave! PMSL

This time next year..............

 

lol i let ya off

Cant see bloody link but ive had some beers so ill look 2mora! lol

I only want it to bear the compnay name ie www.xxxxxx.co.uk and show what we do and jobs we have done etc

 

i know how much Brickys earn Lee.

you are not good enough to do it yourself.....and you know it.

 

pmsl i dont lay bricks so much now dave Something i wanted to move away from. Still put quite a few down but not like i used to on the sites

My sister used to design Michael Jackson fan club website so shell be doing that.....

what i need to know is do i need to buy a domain thingymabob??

 

ah right Lee,getting old

good luck with the site anyway,lol.

 

domain name you may not need if its a free space with Virgin. So for example it might be http://leereynolds/virgin/thisismysite.com

if it is space you had AWAY from Virgin then sure youd need to buy a domain name due to the DNS settings eg http://thisismysite.co.uk

 

I think i shall look into this right then as im unsure what i need Ian.

 

If its a personal site (of friends family etc) then the free virgin link to your pictures will be fine. This is why they give it to you, but unfortunatly it has a name that will either go twice around your van, or is easily forgetable.

If its for business then buy yourself a relevant short domain name.

Your actual site can still be built on your free pages from Virgin and the business name then just points to it.

 

Im sure someone on here was offering there services free/cheap earlier on in the week to build a free site for somebody as they had time on there hadns between jobs ???? I'll have a dig around see if I cn find the post

 

that was easier than I thought it woul be !

It was Poom offering his services

There are some good threads on it Lee. Do a search for it. Billabong has given tips in the past as have I and a few others. Might find some more of the developers on that thread.

 

poom is a good lad aswell he knows what he is doing for sure

 

cheers chaps
