How to make video play on website directly?

How can I make a website to display my written works?

• I'm an aspiring writer and my first play is being performed this week. People keep asking to see more of my work, and I was thinking of creating a website where they can look at/download PDFs of stuff I've written. All the website creators I can find online make lovely flash websites but only have options for photo and video galleries. Is there any sites out there that allow me to create a gallery of PDFs? NB: I don't want to reformat all my work to and put it into a blog. I'd much prefer something along the lines of what I've written above! Thanks in advance!

• Answer:

  As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name. If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today. As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. You can reach reviews about this web hosting provider and its latest DISCOUNT COUPONS at: http://www.threehosts.com/reviews/1st They also offer "Free Site Builder" that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get) You can use this service optionally. You can also create the pages offline with your favorite program (DreamWeaver, FrontPage, Microsoft Publisher, etc.), and then upload them to your web host. This is another easy way to get your website online. ******IMPORTANT******** * This service was awarded “The Best Web Host OF The Year”. * If you sign up for this service you will have $75 credits to advertise your website with the google & yahoo search engines for free! * You Can Register A Free Domain or Use Your Existing Domains.
