Assignment - Lab: Expand Your World - Publishing to a Website

Problem: If you want your webpages to be viewed by anyone connected to the Internet, you must store the pages on a web server. Transferring webpage files from your local computer to a web server is called publishing. Once your webpages are published on the web server, the server creates an https:// address that allows others to find and view your pages using any browser connected to the Internet.

Several key pieces of information and permissions need to be in place before you can successfully publish your webpages to a web server. This exercise will help you find and record the information you need to publish your webpages to your school's web server. If your school does not provide free web server space to students, this exercise will help you find free or inexpensive web server space where you can publish your webpages. (Note: Always check with your instructor regarding whether your webpages are to be published. Each school is set up differently, but this exercise helps you collect the necessary information.)

Instructions -

1. Ask your instructor if you are going to publish your webpages to a school web server and if any supporting documentation is available.

2. Open the webpublishing.docx document from the Data Files for Students.

3. Using the web server documentation provided by your instructor or school, fill out the right column of the table to identify the pieces of information needed to publish your webpages. A sample solution is provided in webpublishing.docx that applies to students at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas.

4. Use the web to research three inexpensive web server alternatives.

5. Open the webserveralternatives.docx document from the Data Files for Students.

6. Using the information you found in Step 4, complete the table in the webserveralternatives. docx document to compare three web server alternatives. You may be asked to share and compare this information with the rest of the class.

7. Confirm if and how your instructor wants you to publish your webpages, as well as how your work will be submitted for grading purposes.

8. Some web hosting companies offer free web hosting services. However, all businesses need to generate revenue in order to survive. Using your favorite search engine, identify three ways free web hosting companies generate revenue.
