In the not so old days if you wanted to create a website, you had to learn all kinds of fancy maneuvers and you had to learn how to speak to a computer using code. The most common code when talking about a website is HTML code, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. If you want to create a website you might be wondering if you too have to learn these special codes.
The answer is a resounding no. It is no longer necessary for anyone to have to be able to write HTML or any other kind of code as you can have it all done for you. The automated way to go about code writing is using a website builder.
Website builders allow almost anyone to be able to create a website without having to learn any kind of code. It works by you entering in any text, pictures, and the like and the website builder automatically turning all your input into HTML code for you.
Many website builders allow you to see a regular view and an HTML view with the click of a mouse button. So, you can choose to see what the HTML code looks like if you wish, but again, the code is only a computer language and one that no one else will see.
You can learn to write HTML code if you desire, but why would you? Writing HTML code is time consuming and not all that easy to use. It’s kind of like using a typewriter to write a letter when you have a perfectly good computer sitting a few feet away.
Websites are now accessible for everyone. You don’t have to learn special codes and you don’t need to hire a professional to create your website for you. Using a quality website builder, you too can have a professional and functional website in no time at all.

FatCow is a name that has been around for quite some time in regards to web hosting companies, but isn’t necessarily one of the most well known names. While they may not over advertise like many web hosting companies, one of the biggest claims to fame with FatCow is that they seem to give their customers a lot of features and options for a small price. While this is not an uncommon thing these days, it does go to show that you don’t have to pay a lot of money in order to get great web hosting.
FatCow offers a lot of features for free that other web hosting companies might charge for. Here is what you can expect to get for free when you use FatCow as your web hosting company for only $99 a year:
- Domain Name

You can even transfer an existing domain name to them free of charge if you need to. Combine that with their web hosting package that includes unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, ability to host unlimited domain names, and unlimited mailboxes and the value is very evident.
FatCow also helps your website get up and running with free advertising credits for some of the biggest names on the web. When you use FatCow for your web hosting needs, they instantly give your advertising credits with Google, Yahoo/Bing, and Facebook. Additionally, they give you a free YP.com advertisement.
