Putting Your Page on the Web - Week 2

Chapter 3 talks about putting your page on the web. The broad topics discussed include web hosting, the parts of a URL (uniform resource locator), domain names, web space, uploading files, general broadband issues, associated email addresses, and other various frills.

I think the easiest way to practically address these issues is using the book's "Web host checklist" (p. 67) to evaluate my needs for this design project.
- Web space: I am not sure of my needs at this time, but the space at USF should be sufficient for the size site I am constructing.
- Bandwidth: I shouldn't need much, this will be a relatively simple site with little to no multimedia that requires extra computing power.
- Domain name: I am not going to register a domain name for this site, since the purpose is strictly personal/academic in nature.
- Email addresses: This is already provided by USF. Thank you, Academic Computing!
- FTP access: SSH is the bomb! Thanks again, USF.
- Tech support: I have ample tech support through USF, an abundance of tutorials, and some of my tech-savvy classmates.
- Statistics: I am still considering whether or not to add stats to this site- I know that in the future, should I design other pages, I do think they are important for usability and user information.
- FrontPage extensions: I will not need these as I am not using FrontPage for this project.
