Hello,

Right now what I have been doing is using flash and html together (incorporating flash into html, like you didnt know lol) anyways what I want to do is find a place to buy a domain, and a great place with great technical services, phone service that is, to host my website, thats all i want the name for, is that possible without all the servers of IIS, exchange etc (i am experience network dude guy but can say I am a professional). Also is there any way I can have a web page (the main webpage) display or show how many people logged onto my website or how many hits it has taken when going live? how do I write that into xhtml? thank you for your help, its for my church, hope to get it up soon and finish the website to show you all. o ya is there any good times on using flash, i am new to it.

Please see the FAQ entry Where can I get a "hit counter"?

cool thanks for the info, sadly thats not what i wanted to hear but oh well, i guess hopefully my other questions get answered, the most important one is, can i just buy a domain name, then have someone host my websites? if so, who do you recommend or where can i buy a domain and what business hosts great websites so they can host mine?

Yes, you just buy it and then host it. There are so many registrars and hosts... The choice of host depends a little on what you need and what you are willing to pay. A com/net/org domain shouldn't coust you much more than $10. If you find a host you consider you can google to try to dig up bad things about them and search forums like http://webhostingtalk.com .

Right, here's what you need:

1. get a domain.
2. Sign up with a web host. Most will help you with instructions on uploading your site.
3. you can use google analytics www.google.com/analytics to get detailed stats on your visitors . Its free!

Most likely you need a linux host that will be easy and fast to setup if your website is simple.
