Thread: Setting up a website

I want me to set up a website for her business using Joomla. I'm just getting into this kind of stuff, so I need some help. (I know this isn't really Linux related but I'd rather just ask you)

No clue what these are, which I should use, where to get them, and how to set them up. Any insight?

That's it for now, but I'm sure I'll have more questions when I get started. Thanks.

Fedora 11 and Ubuntu 9.04 both have all that and they're totally free

you can install, test and develop the site on any Fedora 11 and Ubuntu 9.04 installation.

When you're ready to go live go find a decent hosting company to host it.

You should look for a company that's using php 5.3.0 apache 2.2.11 and a recent version of mysql.

Good luck.

Hosting services are through Site Ground (I went and paid for it before telling me, I just got home yesterday). So I'm just not sure if I can ignore this step and hope for the best, or what.
