prob is they think the pics will show even when their comps are off
dunno wad to say.
yeh...when u designed your personal webpage u nees a server.. a host to store your pages, links and all the deatils iincluding any photos used and gifs, movies or motion pics..all these take up bits of data....so once u r done u need to upload yr pages and accompanied folders with images, gifs, mpg etc from your c-drive (comp hard drive)...the concept is just like making a post where you send your messages to a forum page...only difference is webpage and accompanied folders will take up more space and need higher upload speeds. once the host received all your webpages and folders, u will be assigned a slot and yr "shit" shall be displayed and streamed from the host server with a specified URL. that's how it simply works. u require a host to allow the world to see yr perrsonal pages. even sggirls hae a host if not how u think it operates? and behind all the pages are computers, computers and more computers and servers hardware keeping the forum goiong
