Put a web site on the Internet right away

Step 1 — Determine where your web site will be located

I don't have a hosting location for my web site

You need to sign up for a web site hosting account to make your web site visible to the world. A hosting service, known as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), or a Web Presence Provider (WPP), can provide you with a web site account.

There are many well-known web site hosting companies that let you quickly and easily publish Microsoft FrontPage and Microsoft Office documents directly to the Internet.
