You may decide
that you would like to upload your website to the World Wide Web and share
it with the world. Check with your Internet Service Provider to see if
you have access to some personal webspace. Most ISP's provide 5-20 MB
of webspace as part of their basic service package. Your ISP will be able
to provide information about how to create and upload your webpages and
may even provide specific online tutorials that will guide you through
the process.
Another option
is to upload your webpages to one of the free website hosting services available
on the web. The steps below will guide you through setting up an account
on one of these free web hosting services.
Yahoo!'s
Geocities offers free website hosting in exchange for a discreet
advertising banner which is displayed on your webpages.
