Class Discussion: Personal Website

In lieu of our class discussion on html coding, I thought it would be fitting to research the steps in setting up your own personal website.
  • The first step in setting up a site is finding an available domain name. This can be done by visiting a number of hosting sites; such as Godaddy.com or Hostmysite.com. It costs anywhere from $8-$20/ year to reserve the name.
  • The second step is to find a server to host your site. This can also be done in correlation with the Godaddy.com or Hostmysite.com sites. They cost anywhere from $4-$80 dollars a month depending on what server service you opt for.
  • The third step to setting up your very own website it to access the page through the editor. This is the step that opens your blank wesite! GET EXCITED
  • AND FINALLY...START CODING!
There you have it, the 101 version to setting up your own site. Visit GoDaddy for more information.

Another option is to use your udel page. Each student has a udel page that they can edit with restrictions but it is free and a good way to practice your html.
