serverph

I just got admitted to start a website under this domain.
One problem. I have no idea where to start. Where do I log in?
Do I make the site offline? and if I do, where do I upload it?

Basically I need a the basic starter kit. I have looked for a FAQ but I can't find it anywhere on here or on the main site.

Yeah I need help I know I *BLEEP* but I have never really used this system and I am quite new at making sites.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Xisto is a very professional hosting. but as pawoodster said, we can help
you more if we know what you intend your site to be. the server can
handle plain html (as most newbies would use), and it can also handle
server-side scripting with PHP and MYSQL so we have a very powerful
hosting if you decide to use it.

basics you need:
>> for html - an html editor. you may be familiar with frontpage already,
but you can search the forums for other html editors members of Xisto
use or prefer (some just use NotePad).
>> FTP - choose an FTP app which you will use to manage your uploads to
your hosting space. this has been discussed as well in the forums.
>> javascript - for short yet fancy scripting for some cool page effects like
"no-right-click", etc.

when you decide to raise your web experience as a webmaster, you may
try to learn the following later on:
>> CPANEL - if you desire to manage stuff in your webhosting space, login
to your site's CPANEL. experiment with the features, especially the ready-made
scripts there.
>> for PHP/MYSQL - Xisto forum has sections devoted to these so you
may want to check suggested tutorial links and ready-made scripts provided
there. this would take a while to learn, and it would be best to setup a
personal web server (on your PC) so you can make initial testing before
uploading and tweaking later. this is to make dynamic pages which uses
databases.

forum members will be able to help you if you have further questions later

i also have that "glitch" in my armory inventory. but i've been upped with just 1 strength. you have +4.

i asked is magic 8 ball worth it and i replied nahhh dosn't that prove its a waste of time

ask it for a second opinion lolz

...but it was hard for me to understand what you last said.

hehehe? that's why you have to think. just read it s..l..o..w..l..y...

That thing is so simple... if you get overwhelmed by that you're stupid... just like I did for four years.

who said anything about getting overwhelmed? :Pdidn't you figure out that the magic 8 ball is just for fun?
and i know it's simple, i have seen the code!

don't be a party pooper. that page is to support Xisto
if you even cared to check the page. tsk...tsk...tsk...

at least you admitted your stupidity 4 years ago. lolz
i hope it would show no more in your succeeding posts! lolz

Sure, MAGIC 8 BALL works!

TRY IT!

just now, gmail invites are going around like crazy at
http://gmailswap.com/

if u want one, a simple offer will suffice for a gmail invite.
just be creative and you'll finally get the gmail you want.
read the offers made there and you'll see. some even
got theirs for a simple "thank you".

grab yours while invites last!

He just didn't like them, especially raw.
I'll post his quote when I get home and then if I can find it.

*has no clue what the hell you are talking about*

Bugs Bunny? does that ring a bell?

obviously likes carrots a lot!)

it seems you have a very good knowledge about SEO lib2day. pls PM me and send to me all the necesary procedures. i have been relying so much on meta tags and i never use alt tags cos i never knew the use of them.
i will have to start learning how to use alt tags from today onwards. thanks lib2day for the info

you're most welcome odomike search engine optimization is a thriving online
business, and i really don't have the nitty-gritty details that "experts" (read:
paid SE optimizers) have. i can only help you guys from my experience with SEO
in the past. (which i learned from googling a lot. lolz.)

here are some other pointers on SEO which can help:

i like it image size (in KB) could still be optimized though for easy loading

Thanks!! That really helps a lot!!

you're very welcome

thats why i dont have a sig :Dbut i want one because.. i'm an admin

ei wassie, i can still remember you having that VERY TALL sig
when we were all just starting here actually, i miss that

However i did not know about its important with Search Engines.

some search algorithms would ignore it, some would make good use of it. using ALT tags is just one method to help in SEO. u will have no idea what search engine bots would crawl your pages, so it's better to have them for those which will recognize it.

so what about this for instance...while searching for web designing..will a domain name like odowebdesigns get a high ranking?

not necessarily a high ranking. if ur domain is a TLD webdesigns, then it would be at least in the first 10 pages of the search page results. ur odowebdesigns would still crop up when keywords used would include +web +designs but there's lots of competition on those keywords. ur domain can still help in getting a good search results with +web +designs keywords but dont expect too much. use other methods as well and don't simply rely on your domain name for a high search ranking.

champage, it all depends on several factors:
1. number of visitors/day
2. size of pictures
3. size of html/php code
4. number of html/php pages
5. miscellaneous stuff embedded (menu images, thumbnails, midi/wavs,
flash, etc.)

remember, EVERY page access to html/php/images/etc would count
towards your bandwidth usage.

let's say you have an extremely busy site with 100 visitors a day accessing
an *average* of 150KB size of image on a 10KB html/php page with embedded
stuff of 30KB. let's say you have an average of 50 pages viewed per visitor/day.
let's do the math...

10KB html/php page + 30KB embedded stuff + 150KB images = 190KB
x 50 pages = 9500KB/visitor

that's already:
Megabytes:.....9.2773/visitor
Gigabytes:.....0.0091/visitor

x 100 visitors = 950000KB
Megabytes:.....927.7344
Gigabytes:.....0.9060

(by this computation you already overshoot/exceeded your 500MB bandwidth
limit for package #1 - on DAY 1.)

and that's only for a day. x 30 days =
Kilobytes:.....28,500,000
Megabytes:.....27,832.0312
Gigabytes:.....27.1797

---

now that's for a busy site you can do your own calculations based on
your own variables as listed above. newbie sites won't reach that amount
of bandwidth in a month so it's safe to say you wont need that much
bandwidth yet. if you do, you might want to opt for paid hosting already.

here is an online bandwidth calculator for you. KB-MB-GB

NOTE1: Computation above is just based on factors/variables provided. there
could be other factors which could contribute to bandwidth usage which i am
not really sure (like uploading for example).

NOTE2: ACTUAL bandwidth usage can be viewed on your CPANEL along with the
web logs analysis.

NOTE3: web space needed is entirely dependent on the actual total size of
uploads you intend to have. you can check this beforehand on the disk where
your web site files are located. when you right-click on the root folder of your
web site *on your PC*, then PROPERTIES, you will get to know the SIZE of
your web site upload.

cragllo, spell check needed.

for what, posts, or banners?

for your second batch of banners... with "Pearl".should have been "Perl" without the "a".

champagne, Package 1: Requires 10 posts; 20 MB space and 500 MB bandwidth.

thnx cragllo! got them. i will ante your reputation one bit for that!

i like banner #2 best simple yet sleek design. just a little emphasis on "professional and free web hosting" wud improve on it.cragllo, what fonts did you use for banner #2? cud u provide it fordownload? thanx in advance

thnx all. i know it's a bit 'in ur face'. just hoped it cud get more hits that way. btw wassie, its a standard banner size, like d ones at the top of Xisto pages. i just added factual details that cud make d audience wantto visit Xisto. i believe information is more valuable in a-d-banners thanjust nice design (w/c is secondary to me). space maximized to give d "shock effect" as cragllo says. .click guys, for the benefit of Xisto. and use it if u want. just right click,save as, upload to ur hosting space, then link to Xisto.

just adding a Xisto banner of this dimension (728x90):

lolz! try to play a "car stuffing" game and you'll get MORE than 5people inside the car.

you are correct there zenchi :Dbtw, just remembered that a DOMAIN NAME does a great deal ingiving your site good search engine rankings. if you search for "screensavers" for example, the search engine will spit out the most relevant sites/pages first -- that being the domain bearinga name nearest to the word searched. so choosing a good domain/subdomain name helps a lot in SEO and search enginerankings. :Dchoose well.
