web site wanadoo (orange)

[camioneur]

Friend of mine gets broadband from Wanadoo/orange. He has asked me to build a web site for him. Does he get any free web site stuff from Wanadoo or do I have to buy a domain etc and start from scratch. I know how to build a site with frontpage but have no idea how to get one started, This site's going to a business site so it needs to look the part with a decent ending like dot com or dot co.uk thanks

You get free webspace with Wanadoo, but if you want a specific www.whatever.com name you will have to buy a domain name ...personally I always use Easily.co.uk for my domain names ...a .co.uk will set you back �10 every 2 years.

You can then use that name to point to the wanadoo webspace...

I'd strongly suggest not pointing the domain to the wanadoo website. Not exactly professional-looking. If he wants a domain name, then buy the domain as naz says, and also buy some hosting. Web Mania do some decent cheap hosting, and 23:15 Mon 17th Jul 2006

Oops. Ignore the above.

I'd strongly suggest not pointing the domain to the wanadoo website. Not exactly professional-looking. If he wants a domain name, then buy the domain as naz says, and also buy some hosting. Web Mania do some decent cheap hosting, and Dreamhost do better hosting but at a greater price; Web Mania may well suffice.

Also, personally I don't think I've ever seen a professional-looking website that's been designed in Frontpage. It's a bit of a joke in the web dev circles. Either use something more professional perhaps, like Dreamweaver, or do it the proper way with HTML and CSS.
