Setting up your own website

As the internet has evolved, setting up your own website or blog has become increasingly more simple. Many hosting companies offer packages which require almost no setup on the part of the user (Typepad and Wordpress.com come to mind). Setting up your own website isn’t terribly difficult, but if you’ve never done it before, you may not know exactly what steps to take. I thought about writing my own guide for TipMonkies, but came upon Site-Helper recently instead. Site-Helper is a fantastic resource to help you set up your own site and goes over pretty much all the important and relevant topics, from e-mail to scripts to databases and more.
After you’ve become acquainted with what it takes to set up your own site, be sure to check out W3Schools for a pretty good introduction into XHTML and CSS so you can start coding away!

The Site-Helper thing seems to be aimed at folks who have paid for a web host provider that uses “DirectAdmin” as a control panel. While there’s some decent overview info, it doesn’t do much for folks who want to “home host” (perhaps just imho?).
The stuff at http://www.dslwebserver.com/ is pretty helpful though if you truly want to run it all yourself.
