A few months ago I wanted to set up a website with a couple of email
addresses, but because I'm a complete beginner when it comes to
computers, I chose GoDaddy because of their 'Website Tonight'
sitebuilder. Perhaps it's just me, but I've had nothing but trouble
with this.
It took me several days just to construct the site, partly because I'm
such a complete beginner, but also partly because GoDaddy's own website
is so packed with stuff, I found it very hard to get to where I needed
to be. Then, for weeks after I'd launched it, I kept finding it
wouldn't come up when I typed in the address. And now, I can't get to
the page where my emails are stored (I don't have Web access at home,
so I rely on computers at libraries, etc). The people at GoDaddy
suggested I send them a 'trace route' to help them solve this email
problem, but all the computers I try tell me I don't have the
'administrative privileges' to do this.
The Godaddy people are very helpful when I email them about a problem,
but they take hours to get back to me - quite a problem when you're not
on the Web at home.
So now, seeing that my website isn't fully operational after three
months, I've decided to give up on GoDaddy and go on a 'building a
website' course.
My main questions are:
1) Considering that all my website will consist of will be about five
pages of text, with no pictures, plus a couple of email addresses
(which I must be able to get to via 'public' machines at libraries,
etc), would it be difficult for a beginner like me to build such a site
without needing a site builder?
2) Is there any reliable provider that offers web-space for a site of
this size for less than GoDaddy's $8.99 per month?
Any advice would be very welcome.
