Not all Hosting Providers are Created Equal
Two things you need to have to start your own website is a domain name and hosting. A name and a place to put it. Buying a domain name is pretty straightforward. Some companies offer different services, but pretty much all of the ones I’ve had experience with do and cost more or less the same thing. I personally like having my domain and hosting accounts through the same people, as it is easier to keep track of and handle, but that’s not even a necessity.
Owning your own Website
So you know you need a website, or perhaps you already have a website but it’s being hosted by some free limited service.

Before I begin I must say that the things I write about in this post will and should change with time. A website is a unique medium that has the ability to grow and change with time. As technologies advance, so to capabilities, content should be dynamic, and it’s my aim to develop the site for you and me. You being the reader. I would love feedback and comments on the site. Please feel free to email me using the comment form in the bottom right hand corner or in a comment on the site. Anyways, on to the list.
New Site in Beta
So I’m finally getting around to updating my personal site. It’s been several years now since I put up some of my very first html. I’ve felt like I’ve come a long way since my initial attempts at web design and development. If you want to see or need something on the old version of the site you can click here.
