Ok, I've registered for a domain name, and I've signed up with a hosting service. I realise I have to build a website myself via Frontpage or Dreamweaver, for example. But could someone just please talk me through the mechanics of how I link this up with the service/name I've just bought.

Sorry to seem dense, but I just can't see how to get from A (where I am now) to B (working website). All the Webhosts FAQs and Forum questions are way beyond me.

Thanks for your patient and kind explanations - (be nice, I'm the wrong side of 50).

have a look here for more tips http://personalweb.about.com/od/ftpfileu...

If you want more info you can search googe for "how to upload your web site"

you're not dense!

Email or chat me... I'll be glad to help.

At a really basic level (and i mean really basic), this is how it works.

You will create your page in dreamweaver/frontpage, and it will generate a series of .html files. You will need to transfer (or "upload") these files to your web server via FTP (file transfer protocol).

your web host probably has some kind of web based FTP which will let you browse for the .html files on your computer and upload them to the server.
