Techie question about webs (again!)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Did I read one one of the techie threads that someone`s wife uses Bargainhost for web hosting? I could do with some advice.

Also, does anyone use Frontpage for web design?

I have registered my own domain name, and transfered it to the hosting company. I have my user name, password, preview URL, control panel URL etc., but it is not clear which URL I should be using to publish my little web from Frontpage. What should the address look like?

if you have your url pointing down to yout ISP url then you need to put it to the bottom of the pile. So for example I own www.nufc- flc.com but it is hosted by btinternet. I post my pages on to the btinternet site.

Okay, so it`s going to be something like http://www.bargainhost.co.uk/sahiba-british-shorthairs ?

Next question.....do I need some sort of virus protection on my site?

no

if you have stuck an email link for people to use then they may accidentally send you a feline virus but this is no different from Gav sending you one

Ooh that`s harsh Macbeth! Gav`s the one who helps me keep my computer on the straight and narrow. (:o)

So as long as my home computer is well protected I`m covered?

BTW I do appreciate the advice etc. (:o)
