This is a guideline for people who like to do it themselves. It explains the forest and not where every tree grows. It concentrates on concepts and not mechanics. It gives you enough information to get started hosting your own website.

But the webpage will never changed unless altered by the author. You do nothing more than publish documents on the Internet.
