FTP the Files to the Hosting Server
In order to make your website live you will need to sign up for a hosting server and domain name. I recommend Hostgator which I use to host this site.
Once you have all the pages ready and linked, it is time to transfer all the files onto your hosting server and make your site live!
You can do this using an FTP tool like Filezilla. Simply enter you server ftp details, connect to the server and upload all the files (html pages, images etc.)
Once this is done test the site thoroughly in the browser to check if all the pages are loading properly and are linked properly.
There are free tools to check for broken links on your site e.g. Xenu Sleuth
Your website is now ready and live for public viewing!
