• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Hey guys, I'm the deputy commander for my Civil Air Patrol unit and I've taken it upon myself to start up a website for us.

Now, I know I need a domain name and hosting but aside from that I have no clue.

If you guys have any hosting and/or domain names suggestion or things I'm missing, I'd really appreciate the help.

names are about 15 dollars a year
hosting as cheep as 5 dollars a month
you need to buy microsoft front page 2003, (this makes life easier for you)
the first page on website is called index all lower case
 
Whitehawk,
You can also dig up so decent info on site building with some Google searching.
I spend a bit of time browsing around this site, http://www.webdeveloper.com/ for ideas.

Ickie's suggestion of Frontpage is a good one and a pretty good industry standard.
I use macromedia Dreamweaver when I'm in Windows, but have used Bluefish and Nvu in Linux for several years. Nvu is now discontinued, but the Composer in Mozilla Seamonkey is nearly identical and both are open-source...free.
Arachnophilia is a freeware HTML editor that looks pretty decent but I haven't tried it. http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ (Mozilla Seamonkey Composer)

Good luck!
 
Whitehawk go with yahoo, they have a tool called yahoo site builder that is so great and easy to use....lots & lots of extras also.

webs.com it's what I have. Free too. Exept you have .webs.com at the end... Really easy to set up once you get the hang of it. I have a personal website with photos there set up in under 15 minutes.:typing:
