The web based ones suck. sake Posted at 2:16 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from stratocaster69 at 9:07 pm on Nov. 13, 2008 Quote: from sake at 6:14 pm on Nov. 13, 2008 thanks for the tips everyone. feel free to add more. whats after creating and domain? the host or FTP? domain and host can come together but definately host most hosting has cPanel which allows you to upload via the file manager hosts normally also have FTP in cPanel meaning.....i wont need filezilla? do know if blue or dreamhost has this feature? how will i know if FTP is in the cPanel, some sites ive seen dosent say. stratocaster69 Posted at 9:07 pm on Nov. 13, 2008 Quote: from sake at 6:14 pm on Nov. 13, 2008 thanks for the tips everyone. feel free to add more. whats after creating and domain? the host or FTP? domain and host can come together but definately host most hosting has cPanel which allows you to upload via the file manager hosts normally also have FTP in cPanel sake Posted at 11:14 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 thanks for the tips everyone. feel free to add more. whats after creating and domain? the host or FTP? RossTheHoss69 Posted at 8:18 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Create the site first. Then everything else falls in line. stratocaster69 Posted at 3:23 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 obviously creating it is the best first step but getting a domain early before its taken is also a key.... i had a few in mind for my site and when it came to buying one the main one i wanted was taken but i were available in the end i thought playswfgames.com was allright bighead1991 Posted at 11:10 am on Nov. 11, 2008 I'd usually go for the webhost, since I'd need a live test enviroment to do it in. atomictastic Posted at 8:50 am on Nov. 10, 2008 The site comes first. allsmiles Posted at 7:06 am on Nov. 10, 2008 Depends on the site in question. Usually, I make it first, but with a couple of my financial endeavours I've purchased the domain first. kaylalynn2008 Posted at 11:54 pm on Nov. 9, 2008 Quote: from shadowpool at 11:49 pm on Nov. 9, 2008 Create the site first.
