   iWeb is nothing more than a web development tool. Merely creating your content does not make it available on the internet. Apple provides paid hosting with their MobileMe service, although I do not have any experience with how good they are.

   I run a small hosting company: PG Enterprises (http://www.pgesystems.com)

   Check out our packages to see if they meet your needs.

   Another option that you have is any of the free hosting available out there (Do a search for “Free Hosting” on your favourite search engine). Most of these services will add some advertising to your page.

   You’ll need a Web Hosting company.

   To get one with FTP included,

   go to http://www.thehosthunter.com

   then click the FTP box

   then click the Results button.

   It’s free.

   The only web hosting company to stand out from all the others is
   HostGator.com. They offer several different packages and fantastic customer
   service. There are one-click setups for all the popular blogging systems
   like WordPress and Joomla. The hosting service is never down and always
   quick. They are quite inexpensive but for an even better price use the
   following code to get $9 off when signing up (free month):

   SADDLEWADDLE

   Don’t worry if you have little experience with websites as HostGator
   provides several tools and tutorials to help you along the way
