Hello!

I recently bought a domain name and a website host: AxisHost.com

I made it as far as
WHM web host manager (on AxisHost)

I need to know what my next step is to start building the page. I think once I know how do that I should be okay since I have some experience with HTML.

When I'm at WHM, these are the options

Cluster/Remote Access
Server Status
Account Information
Account Functions
Multi-Account Functions
FrontPage
Themes
Packages
DNS Functions
cPanel

Which function do I use to start building the web page?

Thanks!

choose a theme first, and then go t Frontpage.
try it and write here.

You can write HTML anywhere, even on Notepad.
I recommend you either get a program (Dreamweaver) or a free one (HTML-Kit). It will help you build your page.

Frontpage is too basic if you wish to create a good page.

Okay, I downloaded the HTML kit. I played around with it a little bit today but I'll start again tomorrow when my mind is fresh. There are alot of tools I have to learn how to use, reminds me of when I first got Adobe Photoshop.

I have a book here, "Building a Web Site for Dummies" by David Crowder. Hopefully this will help me along a bit.

One question I know I'm going to have to ask, once I make a page on Notepad, etc, how do I transfer it to my actual website/ or web page?

You'll need an FTP transfer program, such as "CuteFTP"

My advice to you is to get Wordpress or Blogger and use your own domain name on it.its much easier. Im using blogger here is my custom made blogsite

To answer your question, if you HTML-Kit, maybe you should use it to create HTML .

Html-Kit has FTP included, you just have to set it up.

To set it up here is how:

1)Workspace -> add folder/ FTP server -> add FTP server.

2) enter the server adress (usually ftp.yourwebsite.com)

3) enter your username and password ( if you don't know it look in the FTP accounts section (if you have Cpanel)) or ask your Web Host.

4) Put a display name

The FTP server will appear on your Workspace ( on the right usually) and if you expand it, you'll have access to your files.
To put your file online, upload it in the folder named "www" or "public-html". Both work.

REmember to name a file index.htm or index.html because this is the file that will be displayed when someone goes on your website.

If you have any other questions, please ask.
