Choose which web hosting plan suits you best. If you plan to use certain programs, consider these points:
- If you use frames, you will want the Windows servers. The Linux servers work well with iframes.
- If you plan to use Access or other Windows special programs, consider using the Windows servers.
- Otherwise, the Linux servers work well. The opensource php and MySql are supported within the Linux server accounts.
- 1and1 offers cut-and-paste codes for adding blogs, forums, databases, forms, newsletter sign-ups, and more.
- Newbies can have a site up and running with minimal effort. More knowledgeable webmasters can code from scratch or a wysiwyg program like Dreamweaver, (which you can get from ). The choice is all yours. The help FAQ's and live support are provided no matter what your choice. (Visit the VCCTI Webmaster Store for more helpful products.)
- Purchase your domain name through 1and1. Domains are purchased each year. 1and1 bills you annually for the domain name and takes care of renewing the domain registration for you. Check here to see if your name of choice has already been taken. (my domain name is vforteachers, which shows up in the url as http://www.vforteachers.com)
