great it if you want it free but if all else fails yahoo geocities works too. My (free) geocites site is http://www.geocities.com/the_dragon_girl...


http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ is great for javascript

Reply:Why did the FTP program give you an error, what was the error? Which server were you trying to upload to?





In order to publish a web page you need:





A server - this is just a physical location somewhere.


An account on the server - the right to place files there.


A password - to give you the right to use the account.





This is all a Geocities site or any similar free site will give you. The account becomes part of the address, so you end up with an address like geocities.yahoo.com/blah/foobar/mysite





If you wish to have your own address, such as www.thisismysite.com, you need to establish a domain name, which is then associated with a particular server by the system called DNS (domain name server). Then instead of being referred within the address to a sub account on a server, you use the domain name.





I can highly recommend a company like TigerTech if you wish to own a domain and host your site within it. Follow the link below:

Accounts start from $7 per month. And you can use all the space you get for some online backups and protect the location with a password, which you can do via a web interface on your login.
