How to Link a Domain Name to a Web Hosting Page


Obtain the DNS nameservers used by the company hosting your actual website. These are unique addresses that look something like web addresses (e.g., 'ns1.yourwebhost.com', 'ns2.yourwebhost.com'). There are usually at least two nameservers like these; often, your hosting company provides these to you at signup. If not, contact the hosting company for this information.
Change the DNS nameservers where your domain name is registered to the nameservers provided by your hosting company. Each registrar handles this step differently, but in most cases, you can access your domain name's nameservers online by logging into your account at the registrar's website. If you cannot easily find where to make these changes, contact the company where your domain is registered and ask how to do this. It usually takes between 24 and 48 hours for the changes to take effect once you change the nameservers.
Login to your web hosting account and associate your domain name with your website. Again, this process is different for each provider. Sometimes, you will already have a website created with a temporary web address; other times, you will access your online file manager and create a new folder for the domain name. Consult your hosting company's help documentation, or call the support line if you need assistance with this step. Your domain name will point to whatever webpage you have created as soon as the DNS nameserver changes take effect.

How to Find Your User ID at Network Solutions


Go to Networksolutions.com. You will see a tab on the top righthand side of the page that says 'Manage Account.' Below 'Manage Account' is a dropdown menu, and the first option is 'Log In.' Click on 'Log In.' This will take you to the account management page, where you will see a log-in area where you can put in your user id and password. Below the password option is a link that reads 'I've forgotten my user id or password.'
Click on the link that reads 'I've forgotten my user id or password.' You will be automatically directed to a new page that gives you the option to retrieve your password or user id. On the righthand side of the page, there is a box with information on how to retrieve your user id. This can be done either by providing the email address that you used to register the domain name or by entering your domain name.
Type in your domain name in the box provided and click the 'retrieve user id' button. A new page will appear that will show both the primary contact as well as the technical contact. There are two circular buttons on the page, one for the primary contact and one for the technical contact. Click on the primary contact and click 'continue.' Once you click 'continue,' a page will appear that provides you with the option to have your user id sent to your email address on file or to update your email address via fax in the event that your address is no longer valid. Assuming that your email address is valid, simply click on the option to have your user id emailed to you and click the 'continue' button. Your request will then be confirmed and your user id will be automatically emailed to you. In the event that you do not see it straight away in your inbox, be sure to check your spam or junk folder to see if it went there by mistake.
Select the option to update your email address via fax in the event that your previous email address no longer works or is outdated and click the 'continue' button. You'll be asked for your new email address and to provide a telephone number. Click the 'go' button and continue to follow the instructions to update your email address via fax.
Write down your user id once you have obtained it and save it in your email as well for future reference. In the event that you encounter and problems trying to retrieve your user id or need further assistance, click on the Network Solutions Customer service page (see Resources). The customer service page includes both online customer service information as well as telephone numbers for both United States and International customers.

How to Transfer From Seedbox to Seedbox


Open your FTP client, such as FlashFXP, FTPRush or SmartFTP.
Click 'Tools' and select 'Site Manager.' Create a 'New Site.'
Enter the information for your first hosting server. You will need the hosting address, username and the password for the account.
Create another new site for your second hosting server. Enter your login information for this account, as well.
Connect to both servers. Your log should indicate a successful connection, or any problems encountered with the server or inaccurate login information.
Locate your seedbox directory within each server, using the internal browser windows to navigate the server's directories. Drag and drop the files from one server to the other to begin the FXP, or file exchange protocol, process.

How to Make an Official Website


Obtain permission to create an official website. Unless you are creating an official website for your own venture, you must obtain permission before even going to work on the site. Talk to the person or group that you wish to create an official website about. Pitch your idea to them, and make sure that they don't already have an official website and that they are interested in you creating one.
Register a domain. Registering a domain rather than hosting somewhere else makes your website look far more professional. If you are creating an official website for a person, band or product, having your own domain is a must. Think of a catchy title that is easy to remember. Then choose a domain registration service, and register your site on the Web.
Find a hosting service. Once you have a domain, you will also need a hosting service. Hosting services keep all the information for your website on a server so that it can be accessed by people on the Web. Some domain registration services also host but may not have prices and services that meet your needs. Do a little research, and find out what hosting service is right for you.
Download website creation software. A number of free programs exist for creating content for your official website, such as Joomla! and NVU. Download one of them to avoid tedious hours spent coding by hand.
Create content. The fun part of creating an official website is making the content. At the very least, you will need a banner and a landing page. The banner should be something visually interesting, the logo of the product or band, or a logo that you design yourself if one does not already exist. Use your website creation software to craft a professional-looking official website. You will probably want to include things like a biography or an about page, a news page, and a resume, bibliography, discography, or other representation of the subject's professional history. Media, such as music, videos, or product documentation or demonstration, can also be helpful.
Upload your content. Your final content files need to be uploaded to your host. This can be done using an FTP server or by using the control panel provided by your hosting service.
Update name servers. Go to your host, and find your name server information. Copy and paste this information, and insert it into the name server information field on your domain service. This will direct your domain to the content at the hosting service.

How to Transfer Data in Web Form to a Database


Create a database. Note down the input fields on your existing web form. For example, if your form contains fields for 'Name,' 'Address,' 'Email' and 'Phone Number,' create these corresponding fields in your database.
Create a form handling page. This will contain scripts that will connect the web form to your database and store the entered information. You will need to use programming languages such as ASP or PHP along with SQL to create a script to have the data stored in your database.
Edit your web form. Using an HTML editor such as MS Frontpage or Dreamweaver, change your '
' tag to submit to your form handling page. For example, if your form handling page is named 'formhandler.php,' the '
' tag will look like this:
Save your web form and form handling page and upload it to your web hosting account.

How to Send Videos Online (4 Steps)


Go to a website that hosts videos. The site can be like YouTube where it will compress and stream a video (usually poor quality) or a site like File Front that hosts the video for public download (and keeps the same quality as it was recorded in).
Register for the website. You will need to provide some personal information, as well as choose a username and password. If you want more space allowed for your videos or you want higher quality videos shown, you may have to register for a type of premium account where you will have to pay a monthly or yearly fee. This all depends on the hosting site you register for, if it even offers a premium account.
Start uploading. Upload any videos you have on your computer that you want to share with people. The larger the video file, the longer it will take to upload.
Send out the video. Streaming hosts like YouTube will allow you to send the link to people so they can view it on YouTube, or you can embed the video on your own Web page or blog and send that link; they cannot save this video. Downloading sites like File Front will allow you to send the link to the download page for the video, and the receiver will be able to save the video file on their computer.
