We have already covered some basic HTML tags you will use when writing your web page code. Here are a few more that you might find come in handy, when designing your own web page.
Basic HTML Formatting Help
When it comes to formatting a web page using HTML code, you can think of it (kind of) in the same way you would look at formatting a document formatted by a word processor. You have your headlines to show you where one section starts and stops. You have your paragraphs to break up blocks of text, and you have line breaks to show where there should be a new line started. Now I am going to show you how to get some of these things done using HTML.
Modify the HTML Body Tag
There are several HTML tags that can act as modifiers to how the web page looks visually.
First, let us re-visit the body tags. The body tags are there to tell the browser what part of the document is going to be visible to the end user when viewing the web page. This is marked up in your HTML code by putting a <body> where your web page’s content begins and a </body> tags where it ends.
HTML Basics
Hyper Text Markup Language, or as you know it HTML, is the markup language for most web pages on the Internet.
Now, it is not exactly a language like English or Spanish, which we communicate with verbally. A markup language is a system for editing text in a way that changes how the text looks or how you interact with it. Where you use funny looking code to make one section of text look different than the other, the code in question is not seen by the end user. The server the web page is coming from, and the user’s browser come together to help mesh it together as something that is seen as visually appealing to the end user.
Pros and Cons for VPS Hosting
Anybody who has been in web hosting long enough to at least know the tiers knows that when you move from a shared hosting server to a VPS hosting server, your entire website experience will be better. However, there are misconceptions about how much bang for your buck you will get with VPS hosting too. With that said, I thought it might be a good ideas of looking at some of the pros and cons of switching from your standard shared web hosting plan to a Virtual Private Server.

cPanel – Fresh, Bold and Fun Control Panel

If you ask just about anybody what control panel their web hosting account is using, nine times out of ten you are going to get cPanel as the response. While cPanel has always seemed to be the proverbial, “big daddy” when it comes to controlling hosting accounts – I do have to say the company has done a great job at sort of remaking its image to seem more up to date and awesome.
