Web Host Help! Can I put a web page on the web without using a host? For free?
I guess what I want to ask is this: Can I create a web page on my computer using a program like note pad(i know how to do that) and then do something to link it to the web so it can be viewed by different people and computers? Or do I have to work through a Web Site Host?
I agree with the other forum member, check out Google.com workable freebie website builder option.
However, you should be made aware of the fact, that you already have a built-in homepage option which you may want to use at this time, since it’s also free. The following scenario may prove helpful to you in the long run.
If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a “homepage” which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage.
Nevertheless, the “homepage” URL is likely to be “http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber… name” and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., “mydomain.com” which allows you to link any registered Domain name to “mask” another website. For example, should you type in the “Domain name,” you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber., a homepage URL which will be masked by the domain name. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE.
Here’s a demonstration: Type in the URL window: “www.pizzanextdoor.com” which will bring up their pizza website. Take note of the domain name. Then type in the URL window: “http://home.pacbell.net/vten/1a/pizzamen… and you will see that this is the original homepage which is unmasked without the domain name.
Good luck!
