You put website files on the web server. The web server provides website content to website visitors.</li> <li>A <a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Common_questions/Web_mechanics/What_is_a_domain_name">domain name</a> is the unique address where people find your website, such as <code>https://www.mozilla.org</code> or <code>https://www.bbc.co.uk</code>. You can rent your domain name for as many years as you want from a <strong>domain registrar</strong>.</li> </ul> <p>Many professional websites go online this way.</p> <p>In addition, you will need a <a href="/en-US/docs/Glossary/FTP">File Transfer Protocol (FTP)</a> program (see <a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/Common_questions/Tools_and_setup/How_much_does_it_cost#software">How much does it cost: software</a> for more details) to actually transfer the website files over to the server. FTP programs vary widely, but generally, you have to connect to your web server using details provided by your hosting company (typically username, password, hostname). Then the program shows you your local files and the web server's files in two windows, and provides a way for you to transfer files back and forth.</p> <p> <img src="/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/Publishing_your_website/ftp.jpg" alt="An FTP client showing all files and folders of a website and uploading them to a server" width="800" height="487" loading="lazy"> </p> <h4 id="tips_for_finding_hosting_and_domains">Tips for finding hosting and domains</h4> <ul> <li>MDN does not promote specific commercial hosting companies or domain name registrars. To find hosting companies and registrars, just search for "web hosting" and "domain names". All registrars will have a feature to allow you to check if the domain name you want is available.</li> <li>Your home or office <a href="/en-US/docs/Glossary/ISP">internet service provider</a> may provide some limited hosting for a small website. The available feature set will be limited, but it might be perfect for your first experiments.</li> <li>There are also free services available like <a href="https://neocities.org/" class="external" target="_blank">Neocities</a>, <a href="https://sites.google.com/" class="external" target="_blank">Google Sites</a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/" class="external" target="_blank">Blogger</a>, and <a href="https://wordpress.com/" class="external" target="_blank">WordPress</a>.

Generally speaking, these tools are relatively easy, great for learning, good for sharing code (for example, if you want to share a technique with or ask for debugging help from colleagues in a different office), and free (for basic features). They host your rendered page at a unique web address. However, the features are limited, and these apps usually don't provide hosting space for assets (like images).</p> <p>Try playing with some of these examples to find out which one works best for you:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://jsfiddle.net/" class="external" target="_blank">JSFiddle</a></li> <li><a href="https://glitch.com/" class="external" target="_blank">Glitch</a></li> <li><a href="https://jsbin.com/" class="external" target="_blank">JS Bin</a></li> <li><a href="https://codepen.io/" class="external" target="_blank">CodePen</a></li> </ul> <p> <img src="/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/Publishing_your_website/jsbin-screen.png" alt="Screenshot of JS Bin web based IDE" width="1392" height="849" loading="lazy"> </p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="publishing_via_github"><h2 id="publishing_via_github"><a href="#publishing_via_github">Publishing via GitHub</a></h2><div class="section-content"><p>Now let's examine how to easily publish your site via GitHub Pages.</p> <ol> <li> <p>First of all, <a href="https://github.com/" class="external" target="_blank">sign up for GitHub</a> and verify your email address.</p> </li> <li> <p>Next, you need to <a href="https://github.com/new" class="external" target="_blank">create a repository</a> to store files.</p> </li> <li> <p> On this page, in the <em>Repository name</em> box, enter <em>username</em>.github.io, where <em>username</em> is your username.
