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.

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

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.

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.
