I am a newbee. Aftyer reading through the "Getting Started", I think I can follow and use BaseKit. Some areas are not clear. As I use the program I will be more able to pinpoint the parts that may be difficult.
I DO NOT understand this "Linux Shared " and "Reseller Hosting" business.
Does this mean that I cannot use the BaseKit with my one and only domain name? OR - what special thing must I do to enable me to use BaseKIt?
Cordially,
Robin Williams

You need two things to have a website: a domain name, and web hosting. The Linux Shared and Reseller packages you are referring to are types of web hosting. The package most people would purchase is a "Linux Shared Hosting" package (or "shared hosting" for short), which can be used with your domain name. If you wanted to start a reseller business or have a lot of websites, then you might opt to purchase a reseller package instead. When you buy either of these hosting plans, BaseKit is included. You can click on "Web Hosting" and "Reseller Hosting" in the menu above to see what you get and to purchase.
