I recently purchased a domain from GoDaddy.com. I'm wondering how I begin to proceed in making a webpage at that domain. Currently, when I enter in the URL into my web browser, it goes directly to GoDaddy.com. Can anyone tell me how I build a site and how to get my URL directed to it.

Thanks.

learn a little html, build a page or two, then upload them to
your server with a FTP client. That's the simple part!

I know a fair amount of html. What is my server? GoDaddy.com? And what's an FTP client?

First, you need hosting, unless you already have it, and
GoDaddy's good to get that. Once your hosted, you upload
your pages to the server your host provides, like a box where
you keep all your web site files, and when people want your
site, they're served your files from that box. If you will...
