I think Bergice means that he wants his own domian, instead of a freewebs host.
To do that, Bergice, you would have to BUY a domain name, and do 1 of 2 things:
1. Set up YOUR local computer to act as the web server. I dont recommend this, because that will have to become your computers sole purpose. (Or close to it.) If Your computer is hosting your site it would have to be connected to the internet 24/7. Any disconnection from the net would result in your website going down.
2. Pay for a hosting plan with a host such as Dreamhost.
www.Dreamhost.com
Then THEY will host your files for you. You don't need to worry about YOUR machine staying connected, becuase the files are also on Dreamhost's server. (THOSE are the ones users will see on the web. So even if you edit your website on your home computer, the change wouldn't happen on the web until you uploaded the newer files to dreamhost.)
I use Dreamhost myself and I love it. YES, it IS a
little expensive, but thats because you pay for the whole year at once. But you absolutely get your moneys worth and more. You get 500 Gigabytes of storage space, which grows by 2 gig a week!(even if you hosted a hundred ten minute movie files, you'd STILL have a ton of space left.) You get 500 TERRABYTES of bandwith (More than you will ever EVER
EVAR need) which grows by 40 gig a week! You even get your own domain name. So instead of "www.mysite.dreamhost.com" or "www.mysite.hostingdomian.com" You get the good, clean, effective "www.mysite.com".
So, you get all that and more. I highly recomend using Dreamhost. Its the best host I've been able to find. (And I did a
LOT of searching.)
...but I am the ferret king!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! tremble before my ferret minions!
