asked on

I'm learning Adobe Muse. What do I need to publish?

I'm looking at tutorials to learn how to create a simple website. So far I have:
Reserved my domain through HostGator

Bought the Hostgator Baby plan (for an old website that's good until March.

Looks like I know how to post a site on Adobe's trial for a client to view. Is HosGator and the domain all I need to make the site go live?

7$ per month is a lot. You should call support to uload your files.
7$/year is more adequate for hosting static files made by muse.
greetings  artismobile, , You seem to be new to web site production procedures, If you have not set up a PHP hosting web site on a host like Hostgator, there may be many things you will need to learn?

You ask -
   "Is HosGator and the domain all I need to make the site go live? "

The short answer is "Yes", as you can NOT have a site without both the registered DOMAIN name, and a HTTP web HOST computer, to place your web site operational files onto.

But you will need to set up your site on any host, with the host "Control Panel" settings and operation choices.
This is the suppot page for the HostGator cPanel info -
      http://support.hostgator.com/categories/cpanel

You will also need to set up or adjust some of the Server Language (PHP in this case) in the cPanel, although you can just ignore it and go with the default.

But HostGator has many information pages, you can look at this one to help you get started -
    http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/lets-get-started/general-info-getting-started-page

You can get help, and suggestions about HostGator operations in their online Forum at -

Slick18,
Yes I am new to this. (After all these year so)  I have Adobe CC with Muse and it is a waste not to learn everything. I apologize for some obvious questions but thanks for your response.

Gheist,
Yes I paid a lot for that for a site somebody built for me. I don't even use it anymore and stopped the auto renewal but I'm paid up until March.

Now i know I have all I need to start it, I'll study these tips and try it. I'm still learning Muse. Another question before I close this out.

Do I go into C panel and delete the old files of the old site now I changed domain names or does it matter?

Thanks,
Art

Thank you,
I'm sure I'll find out more how Muse will set it up as I learn more. This novice is just happy you assured me it can be done with what I have!

I'll close this out and ask more questions as I go along.
Thanks for the help,
Art
