Where do we actually write the code for creating real life website?

Question

We write the code here to create a webpage. But, if I have to create a live website, where do I write my code?

Answer 1

You'll want to obtain/setup a web server or web hosting. This is the server that'll hold your web files so that the public can access your website just as you access other people's websites on the web.

As far as IDE's go, there are many options to pick from. As Frederik stated, you can use notepad easily, or something a bit more wrapped around web development, such as Sublime Text, Web Matrix, or Brackets.

Hope that helps!

Note: You can find free hosting for websites, but you'll be forced to use their domain usually. You can register your own domain for a year for like $1 with GoDaddy if you're wanting your own domain also.

Answer 2

We create HTML, CSS, JS, etc. files and then open the HTML file. For starters, try open a notepad, put in the code from this site: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp

Save the notepad file as a html file by naming it: index.html
If you're on Windows 10 remember to change the "Save as type" from Text Documents to All Files. Then open your newly created HTML file using any browser.

Answer 3

Get a server first and obtain a domain name start there.
