Post Reply? Hello. I’m working on my fitness website. It will not have many pages and only a dozen or so photos with articles so bandwidth isn’t a concern. I have found a free template I like and am modifying it now. My content is almost complete. I once did a test run with another paid host but had FTP issues which they did not really help me resolve. If I sign up for web hosting and have FTP problems, will someone actually help me? Walk me through it, perhaps in LIVE chat or at the very least with constructive back and forth emailing? I know html and a bit of CSS and I’ve tried out my template on free webhosts where it’s a matter of copying and pasting. That was easy. I modified it in Notepad and the like and tested it out. How difficult will it be for me to implement my website without a webpage builder like Freewebs? I’m a novice. I know nothing of MySLQ or databases and the like. Also, if I choose to have domain hosting, does that mean I can host subdomains and domains? I’m confused by what they both actually offer. Let’s say my website is http:/ /katfitness.com and I decided I wanted to start a graphics site. Could the graphics site be hosted under the fitness site but not have the http:/ /katfitness.com/katgraphics? Could I actually have my own unique URL like http:/ /katgraphics meaning that I would be hosted on the “main” fitness site. Color me confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
