I bought a domain name and agreement for 3 years and I want to start a website. Where can I build it and how do I upload it? The Host Platform the server is running is Windows.

    I would recommend http://www.WebPricedRight.com

    They have a product called Website Tonight that works great! They have 24/7 free support and some of the best prices I’ve found. They also have great hosting deals and I’ve never had an issue with down time.

    I have used over half a dozen companies over the last 9 years. I am a Graphic Designer and I service over 20 clients. Most of the service providers that I used promised the world but just raised their prices the next year. For the last 3 years I have been working with Web Priced Right. I wasn’t sure at first because their prices were relatively low compared to other options out there. It was the best decision I’ve ever made!

    I am currently hosting over 40 websites with them and never once have had a second of down time. They have never raised their prices on me and the tech support is unreal. They have some of the most experienced and knowledgeable technical staff that I have ever worked with.

    If you already have the name for it which is the domain name and the hosting space which is the web hosting service you just need to start building your website.
    If you have not got much experience in building websites I would check if your hosting providers offers an online website builder tool. They are really easy to use. Eg:

    You can also build your website using a design tool such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver. Once ready you just need to upload through the actual programme itself. You would just need to insert your ftp address, username and password. These details are provided by your hosting provider. You should have received it in your hosting welcome email.

    I hope this helps.
