I plan to lean the web building process from the tutorials provided by the vendor BUT, my old web page (html based) has outlived its usefulness and I want to recreate it pretty much from scratch. I am happy w/my registered domain name but I am looking for a host site that gets along well w/Freeway Express and Macs in general. Any suggestions or testimonials will be greatly appreciated. I need this host to have decent communication w/users like me who will stumble along untill I get it right. Thanks.

MobileMe (www.me.com) has been known to sometimes work with macs.

Google apps (www.google.com/a) is free and works well.

Web pages can be enhanced with Javascript, PERL, Flash, etc., but, with the exception of purely Flash-based sites, nearly all Web sites have pages built on HTML. All web authoring tools such as Freeway, Dreamweaver, iWeb, et al., do is permit you to design Webpages in a (semi-)WYSIWYG environment while the software generates the code in the background. The user generally still has the option to deal with the code base as much or as little as they wish. Even with Web authoring software, knowledge of HTML is still necessary to tweak the page.

Your authoring software and design platform (should) have little to do with the hosting site. Ultimately you are uploading nothing more than text files to your domain, which is actuality is just remote storage that permits those files to be publicly accessible as rendered read-only pages via an assigned address. The rendering of your site?s pages is a function of the browsers that is again independent of the hosting service. Whether or not a page renders properly in any given browser is also independent of your hosting service. Proper rendering requires that the author writes code that complies with Web standards?most Web authoring software, sans anything from Microsoft, will generate W3C-compliant code?and tests their site in various browsers.

By the way, what is the URL of your website?
