new here and could do with some advice
Hi everyone
I'm new here and to be quite honest i'm very new to web design. I'm in the process of building my own web store and having fun to be honest, i'm using frontpage (which i know everyone seems to hate but i'm a newbie to it and like the drag and drop features) and think i've come up with a fairly decent site, now what i'm wondering about is how i make the site safefrom hackers etc? i know it's not totally impossible because a darn good hacker can hack into anything but i want to make the site safe enough like it should be, i'm also having a small bit of trouble figuring out how to upload the site to 1&1 which is the place i have the domain registered with, i've sorted the shopping cart for now (using roman cart til i find a better one) and then justt he matter of a meta tag so the site cna be found with searchs.
so can anyone give me any tips here at all?
would be much appreciated.

If it just static html, and no databases, you should be fine. No added security needed. But make sure your username and password for your control panel aren't the name of your site

nope, no database's thats getting a little too confusing for me, i'm only really new to all this so trying to keep it as simple as i can, the most complex thing i've done on the site is a mapped image and the buy now buttons.
so just need to find out how to upload the site to 1&1 now.
thanks for the help though

Do you have an ftp program like filezilla?

Once you get filezilla, you need to find out your ftp address (usually ftp.yourdomain.com) , your username (usually the same as what you use to login to 1&1), and your password (usually the same as what you use to login into 1&1). When you connect, you should see your server files on the right side of filezilla. Just upload the files from your computer into the public_html directory.
