I'm making my own website, but how do I go to it without typing in...

The prior answer does not addresses your question. The way to code your html code is to use relative and absolute paths in your links.

In your hyperlink code:

Reference to a specific website with an absolute path that is hardcoded is not good when buiding in one server and moving into another because it will need to be fixed when you transfer to another provder. See example below:
<a href="http://www.site.com/page.aspx">Hyperlink Code</a>

Instead use relative path references. That way you can transfer to any server regardless of provider. See below:

<a href="~/MyPage.aspx">Hyperlink Code</a>
<a href="~/MyPage.html">Hyperlink Code</a>

The "~/MyPage.html" is looking in the same server in the root directory.

If you need to reference images you will use "~/images/logo.png" for an image logo saved in a subdirectory called images, which is standard procedure.

To move one level down of the current location you type "../foldername/filename.html"

You can search in the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) for details.

The assumption that the transfer of the website will work on any ISP is dependent on the type of programming you are doing. For the example above it will be pure HTML, JavaScript, or VBScript. If you are using a programming language like ASP.NET or PHP you will need to ensure the ISP provides all the libraries you need.

Hope this helps.
