You will need a computer and an Internet connection to enable you to build and upload your site. You should also have enough hard disk space to store your site off-line and to install software you need. To include pictures, you will need either a scanner to digitize printed and photographic material or a digital camera.
When choosing a web space provider, the main options are:
Check that commercial use of the service is acceptable and take into account:
- Any set-up fee, and the monthly cost. This may vary depending on which services you opt for.
- How much space will you be given on the server. A basic Web site shouldn't need more than 5 megabytes (MB), but a large product catalogue may need more.
- Any limit on bandwidth, affecting how many people will be able to look at your site at a time. Limits are unlikely, but it's worth checking, as there could be additional costs if your site is very successful.
- Whether the host offers all the features you'll need.
