I prefer GoDaddy.com myself for hosting. There are many others, they are just the company I have experience with. They have good rates for a variety of Domain Names and other products. Have great customer service support. As far as HTML editors there are also an abundance of products. I like to use both MS Frontpage as well as Macromedia Dreamweaver for constructing websites. As to your question about bandwidth, basically it refers to the amount of traffic to your site as well as transfers to and from your site. What I mean by this is if your are allowing downloads or uploads to your site. The amount of data transferred refers to your bandwidth. Domain Names are simple. www.yahoo.com is a domain name. DNS servers (Domain Name Servers) respond to requests from a web browser (ie. www.yahoo.com) and translate this request to an IP (Internet Protocol) address (ie. 122.34.65.35) Instead of people at their home PCs needing to remember some hexadecimal number, the can just use easy to remember domain names to find websites. Hope I have done a good job of answering your questions.

http://www.DependableHost.net is the perfect host for you! FrontPage works flawlessly with them, and the price is right! I%26#039;ve been with them for 1.5 years, and during that time their server has been online 100% of the time. Some say 100% uptime is not possible; I think I found an exception! They have a promo now - first month free, or a free domain name!

Bandwidth is the measurement of how much data from your site was sent to peoples%26#039; computers. Everytime a person visits your site, it uses bandwidth because information is being sent from the server to the person viewing your site.

Domain name is the web address of your site. In this case - yahoo.com.

...if you happen to be looking for a graphics program to use, check out Xara. It%26#039;s a European vector based graphics program. I think it would be perfect to use with your cartoon themed web site. It rivals Photoshop, but is much easier to use. : ) ...it also comes with a few extra plug in packages that include all sorts of special effects. (fire, lightning, chrome, water, smoke, etc.) It crossed my mind it would be a perfect tool for what you%26#039;re doing.

Good luck! : )
