So far, we have covered what a webpage is and how it can be created,
how it is provided to website visitors, and the ways and means of
making a website available to the world. In summary, the cheapest,
quickest and easiest way is to pay a small monthly or annual fee to a
webhoster to provide and maintain the facilities required, get hold of
a webpage editor, create your webpages and upload (transfer) them to
your webhost account. But besides simply offering a certain amount of
storage for website files and the technical configuration to make them
work as a website, webhosters usually offer a wide range of other
facilities. |

Earlier in this series we covered what a webpage is, and how to put
that webpage into a webserver so that it can be viewed. Now we move on
to the question of connecting a webserver to the billions of people
with internet access.

In part 1 of a series exploring how it has become so easy and so cheap
to publish a website, we considered what a webpage actually is – a
string of specially-formatted text sent to a web browser, which
'interprets' the text and displays the graphical webpage. Special HTML
Editors are used to create these webpage text files.

Those people with a Vanuatu email account (ie. ending @vanuatu.com.vu)
are able to access their emails via the web and using their favourite
email software. Although such people are unlikely to change their
address as there is unfortunately no alternative, there are benefits to
setting up email such that it is independent of the Internet
provider.

There are millions of websites, literally. How are they set up, built,
and published? This week we start a series exploring how it has become
so easy and so cheap to get yourself read globally – and why this may
not be a good thing. |

This week we conclude a series considering the essential services the average person should expect from a computer, and some of the choices that are available. The intention was to outline the diversity of solutions and to build up a picture of what a well-functioning and reasonably up-to-date computer looks like. Having considered an Office Suite, a web browser, email, Internet security and various supporting utilities, we come to “the rest”.

In a series considering the essential services the average person should expect from a computer, and some of the choices that are available, this week we turn to common 'behind-the-scenes' utilities. The intention is to build up a picture of what a well-functioning and reasonably up-to-date computer looks like. We have previously considered an Office Suite, a web browser, email and Internet security.

The intention is to outline the diversity of solutions and to build up a picture of what a well-functioning and reasonably up-to-date computer looks like. So far, the office suite, Internet and email have been covered. This week we turn to the dark side, and how to keep it away. |
