    i just want to get a few pages up as quick as posible, what do u people suggest for hosting, and if i have already purchased the domain, (which i have) is it complicated to communicate with a hoster, to direct them towards my domain name, and stuff.

    Once you've chosen a host, you change the nameservers for your domain to theirs, which is a straightforward process. Their nameservers then control the domain and ensure email, web visits, etc, all head in the right direction.

    The first time i done it was easy, was with www.hosting365.ie and u get a login which is all web-based, type in the new account (so your www.domainname.com) and it done it all for me :) was great haha and then if you dont know how to work a ftp client then theres a webshell thing so like you upload onto geocities, they have one of those things aswell.

    if your stuck theres a troubleshooting section that explains it, takes half hour max to read how to do it then about a minute once u know how its done, dont know how long it takes to actually change on the dns server etc, bout 24 hours but not 100% sure on that.

    Normally you can expect a DNS change to take 24-72 hours unless the TTL is really low or the domain is new.
