hello everyone

I need your help here I want to design a homepage whee you can log in with a password to gain access to the website or your account. I'm a total geek on this one, have never done it at all. Could I possibly learn on the web and if so would anyone be willing to teach me or give me links to tutorials. If there's an easir way of doing this for less advanced people like the wysiwyg html editors, I''d be grateful if anyone gave me links to one or some. I need this urgently and please you may give me al the technial stuff I need to know including the type of hosting needed and the security features and the type of encryption required from the server

thanks

What do you plan on doing, you say log in to access account but what sort, just a blog type thing or shop or something.
You also mention hosting and encryption, again what scale you talking about?
Do you want plain HTML, Javascript, server side (PHP, ASP, Perl ...)

If you are on an apache server htaccess /htpasswd is one of the easiest ways.

Checkout web sites like hotscripts.com or scriptsearch.com
They will both have ready made user authentication / password scripts.
