1. What is HTML and how do I create a web page.

HTML or hypertext Markup Language is a text formatting  language that browser understand.  A simple page looks like this:

<HTML>
  <HEAD>
   <TITLE> My First Web Page </TITLE>
  </HEAD>
<BODY>
  HELLO WORLD
</BODY>
</HTML>

Click here to see the page above and then click View - Source in your browser to see the source code.  To create the above page open Notepad.exe and type the text as seen above.  Save this page as index.html.  Now FTP this page to the server and you've just published your first web page.

2. How do I publish my page?

Email support and give them a username and password that you would like to use to access this server.  Your username will also be the name of your web site. ( http://home.itec.co.za/username )

Once a username has been created you can copy your pages to this server by using FTP.   Use a FTP program to log onto the server using your username and password.   You will be in the root directory of your web site after you log on.  Now you just need to copy your files to the server and you have your site set up.
