Yep, I am tired of tripod, and I really wanted to start a nice site, and I don't know what all to do..So if you smart people who know all about this stuff could give me some good links, and maybe some schooling, because tripod is pretty much my basic website knowledge..haha

Thanks

Step 1, learn HTML.
Visual Quickstart HTML Buy it, learn it, love it.

Step 2, get real hosting. Screw tripod, geocities and all the rest.

Then you'll be set.

I got a friend who is going to be helping me with most of it, do you know of any good sites to buy a domain and all that fun stuff?

shop around.
different options for different people.
I use http://www.westhost.com which is a little pricey but you get a LOT for the money. More than basic hosting.

That $7.95 package looks nice, haha!

I recomend MyDomain.com for new users. They don't always have the most rich feature set... but they do have the most userfriendly and almost always the cheapest. Check it out as well.

From personal experience I recommend http://www.firestormhost.com.

I use godaddy.com to register my domains and I get my hosting for free from nice friends with servers. :wink:

http://www.webmonkey.com -- A nice resource for beginning HTML.

http://www.december.com/html/ -- Also helpful. I took a class from this guy. He is good, lol.

So should I go with the 7.95 package? I think it's the best for me..

EDIT:

1. Should I get Dedicated IP?
2. Do you want me to put you as a referal?
3. Does a bill come in the mail? Or am I supposed to just send the money?

If westhost is infact what you want to go with...
I'm not sure how the IP works with that package. I have a dedicated IP on mine.
Yes please use me as a referal!

I get like a free month of hosting or something.
A lot of the billing is done electronically. You get an invoice emailed to you. You can do payments offline but it takes longer of course. I just used a ccard for mine.
