How to Upload WMA Files
Open your preferred FTP program. If you don't have one installed, try CuteFTP (Windows), Fetch (Mac) or FileZilla (all platforms).
Enter your domain name in the format 'yourdomain.com' (no 'http://' or 'www.') in the 'Hostname' dialog box that appears on launch. Enter your web host username and password in the boxes provided; check your initial web hosting account confirmation email for these details if you're uncertain.
Click 'Connect' to connect to your web hosting account. A directory tree for the files on your computer's hard drive will appear on the left side of the screen, while a directory tree for the files on your website will appear on the right side of the screen.
Select your WMA files on the left, then drag them to the folder on the right side of the screen where you want to upload them. Make sure this folder is publicly-accessible; usually the very first directory that opens upon connecting (containing folders like 'home' and 'logs') is only accessible to you. If you're unsure, upload the WMA files into a folder where other files you already know to be publicly accessible are located.

How to Create a Safe Website (5 Steps)
Create strong passwords for you website's back end, sometimes called the administration page. This is very important because if a cyber criminal can get access to the back end, then he can pretty much do anything he wants, since anything can be done to your site from its back end. Strong passwords include both upper and lowercase letters and numbers and are at least eight characters long. Many website administrators follow a stricter policy when securing their sites' back ends; they make their passwords at least fifteen characters.
Create strong passwords for any FTP, file transfer protocol, accounts that have access to your web server. Follow the same guidelines as you would for you site's back end, but you must also make sure that, if you have given FTP accounts to others, that they do not make simpler passwords for their own convenience.
Update your server operating system regularly. If you are leasing server space from a web hosting provider, then you will not have to worry about this, since your hosting provider will take care of it for you. However, if you are maintaining your own server, then you should check for security updates at least once every two weeks; consult your operating system's documentation for details.
Follow good security practices on all computers that you use FTP to your server from or log into the back end from. No matter how strong your passwords are, a key logger is going to compromise your site's security. This includes having a strong anti-malware suite, including a firewall, and keeping it up to date. Popular anti-malware suites include McAfee, Norton and Vipre.
Trust your users. If you start receiving feedback complaining that there seem to be random glitches on your site or that it is loading slowly or that your site is sending out a lot of spam, then there is a chance that your site has come under attack. Listening to these warnings can save you a lot of time and trouble.

How to Choose Adult Website Hosting
Search the internet for the best adult website hosting, and sift through the results. This is the fastest, easiest way to find websites.
Consider hostsearch.com's Adult Web Hosting section (link and subsequent links to sites in resources below), findmyadulthost.com's Web Hosting category, and hostingcatalog.com's Adult Hosting section.
Compare sites offering adult website hosting. After you've found a potential web host, look into them further by searching the internet for their name followed by the word 'review' or phrase 'customer review' to bring up some independent reviews of that web host. Compare several reviews to level out any biases and get a more complete picture of the host.
Decide on what features you want. Things to consider include server uptime, whether or not server-side scripts are allowed, how much server space you get, the maximum bandwidth you're allowed to use, and the number of email accounts you need.
Get good customer service. The best adult website hosting will not only have good email support, but excellent phone support as well. Test how good their customer support really is by emailing your potential adult web host and calling them with any questions you have about their service. Take note of the how quickly you get an answer, and whether or not the answer meets your standards.
Choose the best-length plan. Adult web hosting plans can range from lasting only one month to as long as several years. Get the best deal by doing your research well and buying a longer plan. If you've done the research but still aren't decided, go with a shorter plan first, and then switch to a longer plan if you like what you're getting. The more research you do, the better the chance there is of you finding the best adult website hosting.

How to Change the Memory Configuration in the Apache Server
Open the httpd.conf Apache configuration file in your computer's text editor.
Reduce the pre-fork configuration settings in the httpd.conf file to the following settings. This change will reduce the memory overhead required by the Apache Server for normal web-serving operations.StartServers 3
MinSpareServers 3
MaxSpareServers 10
ServerLimit 50
MaxClients 50
MaxRequestsPerChild 2000If you are expecting significant site traffic or are already seeing significant traffic, consider setting these limits between the settings listed here and the default settings. The server limit and maximum-client figures should be set closer to 256 if on a dedicated server. If you are on a small VPS, increasing these settings can negatively impact the overall performance of your server.
Change the KeepAlive setting in the configuration file. This setting allows visitors to your website to issue multiple similar requests over the web connection. If you do not have a lot of images or Javascript on your website, you can toggle the KeepAlive setting to 'off.' If you do, reduce the default timeout value from 120 to 40 in the configuration file.
Save the Apache configuration file and restart your web server. You will see an improvement in the performance of the Apache webserver.

How to Create a Professional Web Site
Purchase a domain name,which is the address for the website. Inexpensive and reputable sites to purchase domains include GoDaddy.com and Namecheap.com, but there are others. Choose the right domain name to give the site a more professional and branded look.
Sign up for web hosting. When running a professional website, it is important the site does not crash on customers. Check for either VPS or dedicated servers. Common sites to consider are ServInt.net or ThePlanet.com.
Create your website pages. It is important to include a 'Contact' page and an 'About' page. The 'Contact' page should include a phone number and an email. The 'About' page should explain what the company and its origins. If you offer a certain product or service, include a page on that as well.
Choose neutral colors and avoid flashy graphics. In addition, the colors should mesh well. A professional designer can help you choose.
Upload the files to the web host with an FTP client such as Filezilla-project.com. Depending on the size of the files, this should be accomplished in a very short amount of time.

How to Make an E
Choose a domain name for your website. Use your business name if it's available. If it's not, choose something simple and easy for your customers to remember.
Register the domain you've chosen. There are a number of domain registrars charging a variety of fees for registration. Avoid companies that charge more than $10.
Select a company to host your website. Research the tools and services providers offer and make sure they offer exactly what you need before making a commitment. An e-commerce website must have shopping cart technology and methods for taking payment.
Use the tools your web provider offers to build your website if you don't have web page creation skills. Your home page should clearly explain what sort of products you sell or services you provide. Use graphics and photos appropriate to your business to hold your visitor's interest.
Make a catalog of your products. Include good photographs, complete product descriptions and current prices. Anticipate any questions customers might have about the products and answer them in your descriptions.
Make ordering your products easier with shopping cart technology. List your shipping charges and explain what shipping methods you use, when orders are filled and when customers can expect to receive their merchandise. Use a shipping method that allows online tracking and email your customers tracking numbers.
Open a PayPal account if you don't have accounts with credit card companies. List other payment methods you accept and explain the delays that payment by check or money order might create.
List your terms, returns policies and guarantees. Make sure your customer service email and telephone numbers are prominently displayed on the home page and ordering pages. .
Include a map and directions if you have an open shop. Take photos of your business and list hours of operation.

How to Create Host a Website (11 Steps)
Start with a pen and paper and sketch out a site map. The map should begin with the website's home page and branch out from there. It is similar in structure to an organization chart that shows the hierarchy of a corporation. The home page is the CEO and the other pages on the site are employees.
Still using pen and paper, sketch out what the web pages will look like. Decide what elements, such as text, images and video need to be on the pages and where each element will go.
Gather the images, text, video and other elements to be placed on the page together in one place in one folder.
Choose web design software. Adobe Dreamweaver is the industry standard for professional web page design, but there are many free or inexpensive web design programs, such as NVU Open Source Web Builder and WYSIWYG Web Builder Five, which can be downloaded at no cost. These programs are fine for building personal websites.
Working from the initial sketch, lay out the web pages that comprise the site using the web design software. Start with the home page of the site, which must be named 'Index.html.' Other pages on the site can have any name the creator wants.
Using the site map as a guide, make sure the pages of the site are linked together so that users can get from one page to another.
Preview the site in multiple web browsers. The site should appear as it looks when viewed with the web design software. If any page does not look the same in a browser as it does when viewed with the web design software, edit the page until the problem is solved.

How to Start a Devotional or Inspirational Website
Secure a domain name for your devotional/inspirational website. A domain name will cost you $10 or less per year. To secure a domain name, visit a domain name registrar, such as GoDaddy, Network Solutions or NetFirms. In order to earn a better search engine ranking, try to incorporate the word 'Devotional' or 'Inspirational' in your domain name. For instance, instead of using the domain name janesnuggets.com, you can use janesinspirationalnuggets.com.
Find server space on the web for your devotional/inspirational website. Consider using a blog site for server space. By using blog hosting instead of traditional web hosting, you won't get frustrated with the technical stuff while trying to put your inspirational pieces online. A blog site will also keep your inspirational pieces organized and archived by date. Blog sites you can use are WordPress, TypePad, and SiteGround. You will have to sign up for an account in order to use the blog hosting sites.
Connect the domain name that was purchased in step 1 to your website. This is done during the sign-up process.
Select a template (background) for your devotional/inspirational website. The blog sites that are listed in the step 2 will provide a variety of templates to choose from.
Start adding content to your devotional/inspirational website. To do this, click on the option to create a 'New' article. You will be able to upload inspirational pictures to go along with your devotional content.
Submit the domain name for your devotional/inspirational website to search engines. If you don't your website won't be found by those who are searching for inspirational content. You can use websites such as Submit Express and Free Web Submission to submit your site to numerous search engines at one time.
Post new content on a regular basis. If you are inconsistent, readers are likely to stop visiting your website and move on to another that can deliver consistently.

How to Start an Online Goody Bag Business (6 Steps)
Determine the type of goody bag products you are going to sell. Try to specialize within the niche. For instance, you can sell eco-friendly goody bags made from all-natural materials or hand-made gifts and treats. You can specialize in food items, or international gift items. Keep your product line simple and categorize your products according to price.
Analyze domain name options. Think of a domain name that reflects your product. Avoid using your business registered name but instead use a fictitious or DBA (Doing Business As) name that reflects the goody bag product. Remember the domain name is the name that will be remembered by customers, and it is easier to remember a name that is associated with goody bags.
Locate a webhosting service. Most of the websites that sell domain names also sell web hosting packages. As this is an e-commerce site use a webhosting space that is midsized. Pay on a monthly or yearly basis. Most web hosting companies charge between $5 to $10 a month.
Look through different website templates and e-store templates websites like Website Templates, Stylish Template or Steve's Templates to find one that may be appropriate for your new online goody bag business. Be sure the template has shopping card options. Write the descriptions and content for the goody bag website. Hire a freelance web designer to help you load the website you chose to your domain name.
Promote the website. Create a Facebook and Twitter account and add members and fans. Tweet about your goody bag service and explain why these make nice gifts for friends or business associates. Write articles about your product explaining the benefits and the types of gifts that can be chosen to be a part of the goody bag. Post the information on your website or blog. Create listings on auction websites like eBay Etsy. Place a link to your website in your listing. Place advertisements on bulletin boards like Craigslist or the Bulletin Board. Add your website address to business cards, and letterhead. Leave your business card on restaurant or store bulletin boards so people can find your website. Send out newsletters, and promotionals to customers who do buy from you.
Hire a search engine optimization specialist to help you list your website on a first page in the search engines. Think of search terms people might use to find a website like yours. Write these terms or keywords down and give them to the SEO specialist. Have him help you get a first page listing under those terms or other keywords like gifts, gift bags, goody bags, and others that refer to your particular niche. This way people will find your online goody bag business when looking for those terms.
