So, I'm building a website and using Freenom's domains to save some money on a domain (as Google's is just too lengthy, and I don't have much of a budget). However, when I was going to make the sub-domain for that website (ex; subdomain.example.com), I couldn't figure out how. I use Freenom and Google Sites, I've seen people do it before with the same setup as me, but I just have no clue.

I've been learning web development, and I would say that I'm at a point now where I consistently make websites the way I want. However, I have one last hurdle that I can't find any answer on the internet for. Basically, from what I've seen, on Fiver and such, web developers directly connect the commissioned website to the clients domain and host, and then all the client has to do is go to the domain.
My question is essentially just that - how would I get my final finished product to my client?
I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, but I genuinely cannot find any answer for this. Thank you!
I am new to web development so this question might be basic. I was asked to create a photography site in node.js for a friend. I want to create a way for only her to login to the site and fill out forms and update content. Should I put the login link on the main page like other web apps or create a secret route that she can go to and login?
sorry for the newbie question.
I have googled extensively on this subject and even took an online web-developer course. I cant seem to find the answer anywhere.
Google Firebase has some pretty good authentication stuff for applying access controls. It really depends what kind of security you need.
Consider this. Some other user gets a hold of the route that you've provided. Your client's site could be completely sabotaged.
My suggestions is to check out Google Firebase Authentication it will be worth while to know that suite if you are doing independent contracting work.
So this is going to be a kinda complicated, frustrating question.
SO I recently started working for a company doing a lil marketing/social media. One of the things they wanted me to update was their website (refresh the look and layout and update the design) I've never built a website (i mean I have a Wix portfolio but..) and have had little HTML experience, but I've taken a bunch of c++, python and other coding classes and also really like figuring out new things. Their IT guy now works for another side of the company and is very weird about relinquishing the passwords for the various social media sites and whatnot. When I finally got the admin passwords for the website I realized that that only lets you change the words on the website or add new info. There is no layout/coding capabilities at all. He also gave me the FTP access and the username and password for that. He was very weird about me changing things (even though the CEO asked me to) and won't give a straight, comprehensible answer about the capabilities we have with this website! The original person who created the website is no longer here and they can't seem to find his contact info.
So my main question is, how do I use the FTP info? Do I simply just download an FTP client and login there???? Will it even be possible for me to access this websites infrastructure? I just kind of need a starting point on what I should be researching/trying to do.
Sorry this was so long and feel free to ask questions because I bet I was a little confusing.
PS. I don't even know what host it was built with like Wordpress or ya kno
Do you know where the website is hosted? Ask him for the hosting provider login. Once you have that, you will be able to see what sort of installation you have there, and to obtain the credentials you'll need to FTP in via Filezilla or a similar tool. If he doesn't give you the info, take it to your boss and have them apply pressure from above.
He might have added you as an author or a user that's not an admin. Make sure your an admin.
The FTP can be accessed from the hosing service, but you mentioned that he didn't give you the details. So download Filezilla to access FTP.
Hope this helps.
I am learning the html course from the available tutorials on the internet. And with that knowledge I have developed some html files and I believe there is more to go. These files consist of our old school friends and their present condition and what they're doing. I have created a bunch of html files. Like I have created a website for now named as www.mypage.com
Arjun
So in the href I'm just giving the path but those files are in my desktop pc itself. How do I put them on internet and share with my friends who are living somewhere out of this town. I want to reunite all of my school friends using these files. But where do I upload them and make it like a webiste to my friends? Is there any free way to do that? Or any possible way to reach it.
And I'm saying sorry if the question is not for the tag I mentioned. Please let me know and I remove the tag. I don't know what is the link to wikiposts to share my views. If you know then let me see the link. Thank you.
Find a web hosting service (Google knows lots)
Sign up
Follow their instructions

And use relative uris
I use http://webhosting.uk.com ... for about £32 a year you get asp.net hosting and access to sql server.
then you simply ftp up to your website something like this (using windows explorer) ....
ftp://mysite.com <-- not a real link
... that would then open up the remote server as if it was a local folder so you could drag and drop your files straight over.
there's an online chat link on the top right of the homepage, the support staff will walk you through getting setup.
don't forget though ... the cost of the domain name that's the bit that turns your server ip address in to stuff like google.co.uk ... I highly recommend them.
I shall just expand on Quentin's answer, because it is clear that you are new.
What you need is a web hosting service. This is a service which hosts your html pages, meaning stores them in their own computers, and also displays them to the world as webpages. Web hosting services are usually paid, but there are some excellent free services if your content is not too big. A simple and free service that I would recommend is Google Sites. You could also try Google App Engine, where you have more freedom and control over your content, but for the same reason it is a little more advanced. But since you are learning html, I believe it is a wise idea to learn more about these services and related concepts.
When you upload your files, the html links need to be changed. They can no longer point to files in your hard drive. When you upload these files, there will be a directory structure in it. All you need to do is place hyperlinks with relative addresses.
And about what your website will be called, www.whatever.com, that is quite another business. For that, you need to register your own domain name, for which you must pay. If you don't want to, then your website will be labelled something under the hosting service domain name. This forum is not adequate to go into a more elaborate explanation of all this, but I think I have mentioned all the key terms, so do some research!
I'm looking for web applications that users can use without registration, just by visiting the site, and make you register later after you spent some time.
Any good examples?
Stack Overflow; question an answer sites.
Google News; blogs and newsfeeds.
Apple's iTunes Store, Amazon; anything where you have a shopping cart.
:-)
There's this site called StackOverflow.com
Sometimes when you are looking for example sites that you've seen in the past, it is just to increase your own confidence that you are doing it right. If you have a good idea of the advantages of this style of progressive registration, why not take a moment to write down & plan out how it should work for your site?
Edit content without registration (but create a pseudo-account using IP address):
wikipedia
Register with your email address, optionally password protect your account later:
http://www.instapaper.com/
Registration as a side effect of paying for a product
Amazon (if I remember correctly)
