How to Post a Web Page

Upload and post your web page to a web hostr.

Websites are made up of individual web pages that are hosted on a web server through a web hosting service. A web page must first be created and saved using an HTML editor. An FTP program (client) is then used to transfer and post the web page to the web. Web hosting packages can be purchased from many web hosting service providers. Features and pricing vary depending upon the needs of your website.
