beginner —> First Website

Question

I would like to create a first easy very simple website now that i learned some basics. As I continue to learn I would love to use it as a playground.
Which platform would you recommend for the hosting, etc..?
Thx!

Answer 1

If you're just going to use it to experiment, you can play locally without the need for a host;

for HTML/JS/CSS you don't need any server, just put the files in a folder and load it up in your browser (file://[folder/file], or drag/drop your htm/html file on a browser)

for PHP, install LAMP (here's a reference, but there are others; https://ampps.com/download )

if you want it to be publicly available, there are numerous free hosts out there with variable options (php, asp, etc.), storage space, domain support, etc. It really depends on your needs.

If you're ok with small fees, Godaddy is one among thousands with fair rates and support.

Good luck : )

Answer 2

For single page application, SL sure is enough.
Buy a hosting kinda overkill for a practice, using a free plan has some limitation (like will deleted if has no visitor or something)

Do you really want to upload it on the net ? If dont, you can set up a local enviroment in your device

Answer 3

merci Claude Desjardins and Taste , i think I’ll just start locally then!
