As mentioned in an earlier post, I have realised that there are a number of people who would like an absolute beginners (aka dummies guide) to buying a domain and getting and publishing a web site.  A guide that does not assume that you already have a level of technical knowledge and understanding.

I am going to cover the following :

1. What is a domain name?
2. What is web hosting?
3. How to choose a domain name.
4. How to choose a web hosting package
5. How to buy a domain name and web hosting online
6. Basic understanding of web hosting Control Panel
7. How to set up a FTP account
8. How to set up email accounts
9. How to install WordPress
10. How to install Joomla
11. Web Design software
12. How to building a basic web site
13. How to publish a web site to the internet
14. How to add web analytics to your web site

After I have completed the above topics I will look to add other informative “How to” guides.  If you have a particular topic you would like me to cover, please e-mail me simon@digitalark.co.uk.
