Hosting and Domain Name
For this workshop you will not need to register a domain name as we will be using a free site to put all your files on however in the future you will need a domain name and we will cover it after the initial training session on this page.
Overview
A web site is a collection of web pages.
A web page is a group of files compiled together using the html protocol to produce a viewable page through a browser. These web pages can be a collection of text, graphics, multimedia and other components.
To make these files viewable they must be stored on a computer that is linked to the web and is called a server. Our aim in this workshop is to show you how to create a web page and then how to join a group of web pages together to form a website. We will then show you how to upload them to a server so the world can view them.
Free Hosting
Topcities.Com: - We will use a free hosting site called Topcities. They will give you a fully functional 150 meg web site with all the bells and whistles for free and you will end up with a URL like http://www.mysite.topcities.com. The "mysite" will be the name you choose when you sign up for your account. I have found them reliable and consistent.
The problem with these free sites is that you have their advertising at the top. We mainly use them as a testing ground for our full site.
You could also do a search for free web hosting and you will get a number of free sites. The problem with most of these free hosting sites is that they place adds at the top of your pages and also disappear quite regularly. As we are just using it to teach you how to upload your pages we will use topcities for now.
You will not have to have your own domain for this site as they provide you with a sub domain name.
Go here to sign up for your free account now ( will open in a new page)
Lets go and see what else you will need if you want to bypass this section for now.
Once you have finished the tutorial and you are ready to set up your own domain return here.
To register your own domain name you can go to http://www.godaddy.com We will show you later how to register and set up your own domain. A domain will cost you about $9

Hosting is a critical part of any Internet business. When I started I used to use a lot of free hosting packages however as my business grew they were not suitable. What I decided was to find good quality hosting that I could also sell to cover my hosting expenses. I had become used to having free hosting and wanted to keep it up. It has now become a good income generator and I have not paid any hosting costs for the past three years. I have nearly 10 hosting accounts and all pay for themselves.
I live in Australia and hosting in this country is very expensive. On the Internet it does not matter where you live so I mainly use US accounts as they provide a lot more services, bandwidth and space.
Let me show you how I did it!
I joined a company that gave me all the features I needed and then some, and also paid me $10US for every one I signed up. They handle all the accounts and send me a check every month which more than covers my hosting payment. I didn't even have to have a credit card facility.
So there you have it. I pay $24.95US and I sold three hosting packages which gives me $30US and that means I have the best for free. You sell 100 and you earn $1,000US. In Ozzie terms that's $1600AUD. You can do the sums from here.
I live in Australia so I thought I could get a better deal locally however there wasn't one to compare. If you can find one send it to me please. Yes Host4Profit do host Australian domains but they cannot register one for you. If you want lots of space (300mb), no setup fees and the need for speed and service then look no further.
Oh by the way. Yes I do practice what I preach. You are viewing this on a Host4Profit hosting site. I never try and sell what I am not already using myself.

Still doubt - A few tid bit from our forum.
Each and every month new members come to this forum and begin their process of learning. It's a long road filled with frustration after frustration. It sometimes seems that everyone else is making money online but they are keeping their secrets to themselves.
Well, today I checked my biz mailbox and once again, like every month, there it was. My check from Host4Profit. No, I am not getting rich off of it BUT (and this is a HUGE but) I have not ever really gone out of my way to promote it. I simply placed some ads in my own newsletter and made a few sales. At $10 for each sale per month, needless to say it ads up quickly. It is like "found money".
There is a moral here to all of those seeking ways of making money online. Promote the Warriors and especially Host4Profit. Even if you only tell your friends and family about it and end up with say 5 sales, that is $50 per month or $600/year. Take that $50/month and invest it wisely in other online endeavours and...well...you get the idea.
Bottom line. How do you sell Host4Profit and the Warriors? Answer....you don't. It will sell itself. Attention all new comers. (Sounds better than "newbies") This is THE one thing you should start out marketing. And if you are reading this, you are an affiliate already!
OK, well...I will step down from the soapbox now. I'll bet that there are dozens of other Warriors out there that would tell you the same thing. Trouble is, we simply don't say it enough.
Best Wishes To All...

Jim,
I have to agree with you. The programs such as H4P that offer monthly residuals can help pyramid your monthly income.
I divide my programs into two categories.
1. The programs that generate upfront profits to cover expenses and to live off.
2. The programs that offer monthly recurring income are the internet version of the IRA.
The programs in number two can just keep building month after month and offer a better ROI than any bank or mutual fund could give.
