designers you should always check the portfolio and there

need to look for a web designer who knows how to use graphical

is this web address of your actual website. You need to look
for your business name in a domain name but don't sign up to
the domain name until you find a suitable hosting company in
stage 3

also register your domain name. Look around and find the
cheapest you can find and make sure you check the disk space
can fit against your very own website as if your website is
over 50 Megabytes (MB) and the hosting company has a hosting
package that offers you 25MB disk space then you won't be able
to put your website within this hosting package as the disk
space is to small. You should also check to see if they can
give you a free domain name with this service as well as see
whether you get a discount if you pay a year in advance.
4. Upload your website

the web pages to your website using a file transfer program

offer this to you. They will give you username and passwords
wither by email or by post which you need to enter before you
transfer the files online and it may take about 24 hours before
your website is active so you may have to wait for a little
while before you can upload your website to the internet.
