I suggest trying cPanel so you understand what it is / does. Also, you don't just 'sign up' for a website. To get your own website, you'd first have to purchase a domain name (http://domain.com). Then you'd buy a hosting package that will provide you with webspace in order for you to be able to upload / customize files on your site.

i know i need to register a domain name
and i know that i need to select a package but i'm just confused as to how everything works after that where i go to edit it, what all the website lingo means very new territory for me so basically cpanel allows you to have your basic website then able to click over to other links while in the same domain in sub sites so to speak...? *edit -------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it bad to have only one Cpanel account for a website? like if the website is selling things like image packs, layouts, etc. and has a log in feature for people to log in... is one Cpanel account enough for a website like i am describing? --------------------------------------------------------------------
Reason for edit: Please use the Edit button instead of double-posting. - Mike

Posts merged.
On the page that I linked click on the first button under the Domain Owner Panel header. There is your basic cPanel homepage for a site with shared hosting, which is the plan I assume you are going with. Under the Files module, click on File Manager. (If a box pops up just click on Go.) That's where you 'go to edit it'. |

That is determined by what sort of hosting plan you choose to buy. What you need to be asking is, how much disk space and bandwidth would a site like that need? Now that, you'll have to decide for yourself. |
