Website designing/building is the effort to design the layout
of your website, then constructing the computer files needed to
produce the desired look and effects. A website is typically
constructed mainly from HTML files for text, and will also
normally have GIF or JPG files for graphics. Other file types may
also be used. Once the website files are developed, one may view
them at the computer on which they are stored through a web
browser (typically Internet Explorer or Netscape). The website is
not accessible (i.e., viewable) by anyone else on the Internet,
though, until the website files have been "hosted" on a
computer server that is directly connected to the Internet. This
requires that the files be transferred, or "uploaded" to
the Internet server.
In summary, USPages.net will design and build
your website, then host it for you. Alternatively, if you have
already built your website, but not yet hosted it, we can provide
the hosting. Or, if your website is already be hosted by some
other website hosting service, we can work with you to get your
website transferred to USPages.net. Transferring a website is a
very simple process that is done without interrupting the availability of
your existing website. Please see the FAQs
question describing the steps to transfer a
website.
