  1. Nikon, of course!I have Nikon's lower-end Digital Camera with 2.1 Mega Pixel!It has 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom. What more- it can shoot video clips too - though without sound. But thats OK.Rest all Higher-end Nikon cameras have sound too.So, dont invest your money in anything else.
  2. Gmail from the makers of Google has a lot of promises to keep.No graphics ads make it much faster than its competitors. It is faster than fastmail.But still there is no facility to send HTML mails
  3. if i want any guest user to signup and check mails through my website, what should i do.lf i want to give away <user>@honmore.astahost.com mail id. I know I can manually add them using CPanel, but is there any automated way atleast for checking the mails if not for signing up.

  5. I am a firm believer in Free software. I have downloaded Firefox 1.0 now. My company's intranet website does not display correctly on it. The whole page is filled with Client Error: ActiveXObject is not definedCan anyone help me out with this?
  6. i have tried 000k.com and it is awsome. And now Xisto looks promising with everything unlimited (except for space and BW).Other tools on ur site can be photo gallery, invision board, chat.
  7. That was great to know about PHP Nuke. Even I wanted to know about it and what all CMS are. Thus user management over here becomes quite simpler than installing multiple scripts.
  8. My favourite FTP client is the one integrated with Dreamweaver MX. No need to do anything else - just create ur website and upload it from then and there. If you want a standalone application for FTP, i would suggest FTP Genius
  9. My aim in creating this website was that the pages should be displayed quickly. Also by doing that I didn't want to compromise on the look of the website. This gave birth to Honmore.com
  10. So, you have decided to publish your own website. The main thing you should be concerned is about the 'content' that you want to put in the website . Your website can be your 'personal homepage' - describing your family, your photographs, your creativities. If you are a programmer, you can put them for download. If your website is for your business - you can have your products displayed along with their detailed information and price-listings. You can also allow your visitors to shop directly through your website and pay using Credit cards.Domain namesOnce you have chosen the material to be put on your website, your next step will be to find a suitable name to your website. For instance, a personal website can have your name, a business website can have your company's or product category's name to it. The name of the website should be relevant to the content which exists in it.The name of a particular website is assigned as a domain name. Example of domain names are yahoo.com, msn.com, linux.org, vsnl.net. There are loads of website offering you free subdomains. You can choose <yourname>.<theirdomain>.com. Subdomain names are generally long , so I will suggest you to go for Top level Domain name for more exposure and flexibility. Believe it or not, but a personal or business domain can do more wonders than a free subdomain.How to go about getting a domain?There are many websites that offer Domain registration services. You have to register your domain with a domain Registrar (or a reseller). You can get a .com starting from $8 upwards. It is better to register your domain with a registrar that gives you DNS services as well. For a few dollars more (actually, twice or thrice the amount) you can also get webhosting for free with domain registration.If you are a newbie and trying to setup your first website, I would highly recommend to first approach a free subdomain hosting provider. Once you understand the basics, you will be much surer when you start building your website with domain. ( I purchased my domain after 20 months of trying free subdomain hosting. I changed over 5 webhosts until I realised that a domain is a must. )DNS ServicesDomain Name Server is a server where all queries to your domain will point to. So if you did not get free DNS with your domain registration then you will have to look for DNS provider. There is no need to panic as there are lots of free DNS providers as well. Zoneedit.com is the best free DNS provider I have come across. There are few others. These services have email forwarders, web address redirects. That means you may host your website with free subdomain provider (or your ISP) and whenever there is a request for http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/,'>http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, it will be redirected to <you>.<host>.com. You will have to add the nameserver information to your registrar member account control panel.Finding WebhostsThis is the place where your website will be actually hosted. Your webpages will be present in the webservers of the webspace providers often called as 'Webhosts'. There are many websites offering webspace for nothing. Websites like freeservers, netfirms, geocities place an ad banner on the pages of the websites served. So if you are using frames in your website, it will be a problem as multiple banner ads would interfere with the page design.There are a few websites that have pop-up ads, text ads and even ads-free for FREE! UploadingOnce you have created your website on your computer and done with registering your domain and finding a webhost, you are ready to publish it on the web. Your webhost may give you FTP access or web access i.e. manually selecting each file and uploading it. Always, select the webhost that provides FTP access as it is faster to upload and less tideous. If you get web-based file-manager also, then it is a bonus.For virtual domain hosting, note that the remote folder should be set to public_html. Whenever a request to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is received, the webserver searches the index file in the public_html (sometimes www) directory. FTP programs required to upload webpages are available for free, many HTML editors are now equipped with FTP access facility.ScriptsFind out all the scrpts that your webhost provides you. If you would like to receive emails/feedback from your visitors by setting up an online form, you can use CGI scripts like formmail or cgiemail. This requires that your webhost gives you cgi-bin folder. If you have PHP and MySQL enabled, then you can choose from a wide variety of scripts like Bulletin boards, photo galleries, support tickets, Mailing lists, shopping carts to put on your website.Free toolsIf your webhost does not provide a script you would like to put, don't worry, there are websites that offer remote hosting. The scipts are located on their webpages (generally along with their ads) which are customizable to suit your needs. Few examples are Bravenet.com, Cgispy.com and HotPlugins.com. Many plugin tools are available like chat, ecards, mailing lists, bulletin boards. You can also have search box from various search engine providers for free. Google goes a step ahead and offers customized results page for free.EmailFor virtual domain hosting, all your email needs will be satisfied by them. Starting from pop mails, email forwarding, aliases to autoresponders, filters and webmail facilities. For others, you will have to rely on DNS providers for email forwards. There are few services that offer email at your domain for free (everyone.net, bigmailbox.com), others charge a few dollars.PromotionNow, that you are ready with your website, you will have to promote your website. First thing to do is submit your website to search engines. There are paid as well as free submissions. Google, Open Directory Project have strict no-pay inclusions. It may take about a month for the search engine spider to crawl your website. Search engines generally look at Meta Tags and the text in a web page to deliver search results, so be specific in your Metatags and content. Also, always provide ALT tags to images - this is helpful for image search.There are also programs where you can exchange links for free with a website of similar interest as yours. If you have a business website, and if you are going to profit from it then you can advertise your website on the web by paying a few bucks.Hope, you benifited from the above tips. So what are you waiting for? Take a dive in this world wide web.
