I have created a website in HTML. And I use LAN in my hostel. Currently I am using xampp to run the site on localhost.Now I want to put my website online so that other guys using the hostel LAN could access it. How should I do it?
You should either find a machine with a static IP address and configure xampp and your firewall to work with the network. You can then share that IP address with your users.
If you need a domain name, you might want to google for some good hosting providers and upload your website there and configure it with your domain name.

I currently have a trial on my GoDaddy account. I created a tester domain and I'm trying to make my website entirely out of HTML (not with GoDaddy website builder). For some reason, it's only letting me add HTML code in certain places on website builder. How do I add HTML files using cpanel to my domain?
As you mentioned you are only trying to use html files, use any free shared website hosting service provider online (Some googling would work). Sign Up, login to the cpanel you will be prompted by the hosting service provider either by E-Mail or on the dashboard when you login the nameservers which are something like 'ns1.hostingprovider.com'.Login to your godaddy dashboard open your domain settings and update the nameservers with the ones your hosting provider gives you.Log on back to your hosting cpanel navigate to add files(html,css, a Readme file is optional) to your domain and wait Boom, and your files can go live within an hour of updating the nameservers on godaddy but sometimes this might take 24-48 hours.
Note - This process is only to know the general process to host files, if you consider hosting larger applications built in Multiple stacks and environments please check other threads when trying to deploy the application.
I got a multisite network, and got subsites on it, unfortunately the main domain has expired, and I cannot access my WP admin. I don't worry about the main site but I need to have the subsite.
I am able to access the main site using the IP but not its WP admin. I tried following this but it didn't help. I saw a way via accessing database (this method) but I couldn't access database as its hosted in Digital Ocean, it's pretty hard without a control panel.
want a way to access main sites WP admin
access my subsite via URL (it has a separate domain which is being masked)
If your domain has expired, ordinary DNS will not work. This means that domain-based hosting on the web server will no longer operate as well.
However, you can easily trick your local machine into thinking the domain still exists. This will work on Linux and OS X. You'll need to know the IP address of your web server - if you do not have this, you'll have this in the welcome emails you've received from your web host, or perhaps by logging onto your customer control panel.
Edit your /etc/hosts/ file. In a blank link at the end, add this:
yourdomain.tld 1.2.3.4
where 1.2.3.4 is your IPv4 address. The gap between the two can be any number of spaces or tabs.
Once this file is saved, you should be able to ping it thus, in a console or terminal utility:
ping yourdomain.tld
and it will show you what IP address you have assigned it to.
You can then access it normally. Bear in mind, though, that only you have the DNS information, so it will not work on any other machine. It will however allow you to access your WordPress control panel.
I'm trying to make a simple four page website, all HTML with some CSS and images. This is my first site. After I'm done building the HTML documents, what do I need to upload them and get the site running?
In order to put up a website, you need a web hosting provider. So the first thing you need is a hosting provider. Make sure that your provider offers FTP access to your website. You will need to contact your hosting provider (http://webdesign.about.com/od/webhosting/f/blfaqwebhosting.htm) if you aren't sure.
Once you have a hosting provider, in order to connect by FTP you need some specific information:
your username
password
the host name or URL where you should upload files
your URL or web address (especially if it's different from the host name
You can get this information from your hosting provider if you aren't sure what it is.
Make sure your computer is connected to the internet and that your WiFi is working.
Open an FTP client. As I mentioned above, most computers come with a built-in FTP client, but these tend to be fairly hard to use. It's better to use a visual style editor so you can drag and drop your files from your hard drive to your hosting provider.
Best FTP Clients for Windows
Best FTP Clients for Macintosh
Following the instructions for your client, put in your host name or the URL where you should upload your files.
If you try to connect to your hosting provider, you should be prompted for a username and password. Enter them in.
Switch to the correct directory on your hosting provider.
Select the file or files you want to load onto your website, and drag them to the hosting provider pane in your FTP client.
Visit the website to verify that your files uploaded correctly.
Tips:
Don't forget to transfer images and other multimedia files that are associated with your website, and put them in the correct directories.
It can often be easiest to just select the entire folder and upload all the files and directories at once. Especially if you have fewer than 100 files.

I have a site I need to create a subdomain for, managed by rackspace cloud.
The domain is already setup and online. I just need to copy the current www.mysite.com to lab.mysite.com.
How do I go about doing this?
Do I add the subdomain in the cloud sites listing, or under the listing for the domain?
And where do I copy the files to? The current site is at /www.mysite.com/web/content on the ftp.
Actually, there is much difference between Rackspace Cloud Sites and Rackspace Cloud Servers, and the ways to manage domains/subdomains are also different.
So, if you have a Cloud Sites account, that should be a part of the control panel.
But if you are on a Cloud Server, it's not the same thing :
Login to your NextGen admin panel choose your server, and open the DNS tab.
Here, you can add a record for your domain sub.domain.com to make it match your server's IP.
Then you'll have to tell Apache there's a new domain to deal with (a virtual host).
As an example, if you are running an Ubuntu Server, that should work something like that.
PS: There's also an official article in the Rackspace Knowledge Center, but i'm not a fan of the proposed solution.
When you login to the control panel at Rackspace, you can add subdomains by creating new sites like you would with a regular site. There's more information in the Cloud Sites Knowledge Base: Creating Sub-domains and/or Domain Aliases
I want to call my website with IP address.
Something like this hxxp://255.255.255.1
To access a web site using an IP adress, that web site has to be the default web site for the server.
A web server can host plenty of web sites using the same IP, the server determines which web site will handle the request from the domain name. The server can also have a default web site without a domain name, which handles requests without a domain name.
If you have hosted your website on IIS, then right-click on the Default Website directory.
Properties -> Home Directory
Use "Redirection to a url" option. Try that option.
