If i buy a godaddy domain name if it as simple as inserting the html text and thats all?
Posted on Dec 29, 2008 under GoDaddy.com |or are there lots of other coding techniques. By inserting the html texts i ment like when you open notepad and you put in html and save as something.html for example. Is it just one big online notepad or is it complicated

just make your site in notepad make separate documents for all your pages be sure to name your home page index.html all lowercase in html filenames thenn just upload though instead of Godaddy I suggest Bluehost they're more easy to use and not as complicated it as been voted the best host plenty of times go to theur site to find out more at http://www.bluehost.com/

I'm assuming you don't know about FTP's a such. Well I don't know about GoDaddy but I do know that it's not *usually* an "online notepad". You need to create the files on your home computer (follow the guidelines of the 1st poster) then GoDaddy'll probably have a way of uploading html files that should be obvious.
Barring that, why don't you get something like DreamWeaver? There should be a free 30 day trial and you can make excellent sites with it. It's also very convenient for showing you the step by step process of how to upload pages. Keep in mind DreamWeaver is NOT a web host, it just lets you build web sites on your computer in a more graphical interface than notepad. You can check it out at adobe.com I believe.

A domain name is just a name which is reserved for you. You need to also get a web host — that is, space on a hard disk of a machine set up to run as a web server. This generally costs a few bucks, unless you're willing to put up with ads on your site.
The HTML code is just text, and in theory you could create a text-only web page in Notepad. It would be kind of dull without pictures, but it would be functional. Images and graphics are generally jpg and/or gif files, either from digital cameras or scanners, or created in graphics programs. If you have these, getting them in the right place in your html is just more text.
However, using an html editor like Dreamweaver or Front Page will make your job easier. Rather than typing out the html and guessing what it will look like, you can build your pages graphically. These will also make it easier to set up links between the pages which make up your site.
Once you have the files all done, then you upload the html and the graphics files to the host. (While it's possible to actually compose your html directly on the host, in general you do it on your local machine and get all the bugs out before you upload.) Dreamweaver and Front Page have File Transfer Protocol (FTP) built in, and there are also free standalone FTP programs available.
As to other coding techniques — if you want any kind of interactivity on your site, it generally takes some server-side programmning, in something like Perl, PHP, ASP… writing programs which run on the server, which do things like database access, form processing, and so on. Though there are scripts available (many free) which do some of the basic things for you (like accepting form input and sending off an e-mail, etc.)

You have to buy webhosting as well, and then add the domain in your webhosting account, and then upload all your files, may be you can contact a web designer to set the whole things up for you, check websites like http://getafreelnacer.com/
