First question I have is does chillydomains.com host websites? If they do, your best course of action is to contact them for instructions on how to upload your website.

If they only sell domain name registration, you will have to find a place to host your website or you can host it yourself with the proper software on your computer.

The software I use to run my website is Apache. You can read about it here. There are instructions for setting it up and using it at that website. There are others out there, you just need to search.

A word of advice: Check the terms of service from your ISP, they may not allow you to host your own website. Do check your terms of service before hosting your website at home. Also, it would be wise to have a computer dedicated to your website rather than hosting it on your own computer.

I agree, you can spend a great deal of time on a website even working through issues that are unique to your host environment (not to mention issues that are unique to hosting it yourself), only to have all that work lost if it violates your terms. Read your terms. In fact, it sounds to me that you need to step back and plan out your website and arm whomever you ask with more details so we can be more helpful.

I get the impression you are a beginner. No offense, you are in for a blast. You might even enjoy it.

If your goal is to learn, I suggest you take a different approach and make sure you have a very robust service provider who offers not just hosting but a range of templates, tools and even support to allow you to do so. Then join a Blog that is specific to that hosting environment and perhaps join other user groups for the various tools you use. THEN, once you learn that, take on a new project, etc. This is if that is your goal - to learn. Learning without application is difficult. Applying without first learning can be maddening in the area of applications development since so much is templated and locked up against changes and such.. You make one wrong choice and you find you've spent weeks only to hit a dead-end..

BUT, if you are doing more than learning and you need a website up quickly, consider having someone build it for you. There is a vast range of options, from almost free to a fortune, high school kids to global corporations. Small web design firms can charge very little if you let them use their tools and provide content yourself. I'm talking $500 for the right company - before they learn to value-price their work. They can work very fast within their own area of expertise, tools and templates and such. Some will even train you to become more self-reliant as you go. Your content may look like you want it to, but having a website that looks like that and PERFORMS like you want it to could require far more time than you've put in already. The trouble is that you won't know until you know (which may be too late). Said another way, you don't yet know which questions to ask, and asking them as you encounter them won't work..

Let me put this one other way. I can think of a hundred questions that I could ask you before you start, just given what little I have learned and if I wanted to give you accurate advice. Worse yet for you is that I can think of more questions than that which you will encounter as you go. This isn't rocket science, but the sheer number of variables and options makes it complex. If you want a brochure site (just a static page or two of information on the web), you have a chance at success as it appears you are proceeding currently. If you either want a real website or a real education, I suggest you do the following:

First, specify to this and even a few other groups your goals and requirements. List what it is you are looking to accomplish, by when and with what assets and resources. By resources I mean your skills, your computer network and systems, your available time and your funding, if any. Just very high level. For design, it often is best to add a link or two and say, "I want to look like this site", and, "I want to have a function like this here".

From that you will get not just answers to the questions you can think of, but you will get answers to what it is you need to know. That can become the basis of a plan. Pay attention to what comes back, as those "answers" may be different, but you will get a much better list of what questions to ask on your journey - starting with your service providers. Right now I sense you don't know what questions to ask and are at risk of going down a lot of false paths..

Last point: Don't let your choice of domain name vendor dictate your approach! That is a low cost comared to others you will make (e.g. hosting yourself or somewhere else, whether they offer user-friendly tools and pre-loaded templates, etc.). You can switch and take your name with you. Heck, once you specify your goals you may hear that your provider DOES host but that they have a terrible track record and you should switch.

I hope this helps.
