Need help creating/running a website with Joomla!!!?

Hello there!! I just got finished watching some video tutorial of Joomla and actually love it! , I’m going to create a site myself but it is my first time and I need some advice in how this work.
I’m building a ads type website, but I know not always will have time to check it (review posts in forums and ads) so what I’m trying to do is have someone else (another administrator) to help me out, the catch is that this person is going to be in another country. so my questions are:
Is actually a way to do this?
Does that person have to have Joomla ans Xampp installed too?
Is he going to be able to edit the content of the site? (deleted and upload more ads)
Do I have to send the template of the site before put on the web?
What Joomla company host (if you know a name that will be awesome!) you think is the best?
If for some reason I want to change this person later on, can I do it (is there like a main Administrator)

I know is a lot what I’m asking, but I need help since I’m new doing this…I do really appreciate it and thanks in advance for you help guys!!!

Chosen Answer:

I am the administrator for a Joomla based websites and will try to provide whatever guidance I can…

If it is not already installed and ready to go, I would suggest reading the tutorials on Joomla’s website very thoroughly. It can be tricky to get everything ‘talking’ to eachother (Apache/SQL/PHP/Ect..)

Most of the administration can be done through the web with a super user login. Just goto http://yourwebsite.com/administrator and login..That’s it. No installation required. All the user administration, forms, functions, ect can be accessed through that admin page.

We host our own server/site but I have always liked network solutions as a web provider. I am not certain if they are a ‘Joomla Host’ or familiar with such, but do know they will host your site for you.

I am a Network Admin, not a Web Developer, hopefully this helped at least a little bit…

    I’ll address your questions one at a time :)

    1. You can create multiple users with different user rights to help you manage the content on the site. Joomla 1.6 that came out 2 weeks ago has extensive user right configuration but since it’s rather new it doesn’t support that many extensions (plug-ins yet). Joomla 1.5 will require an ACL (Access Control Level) extension to support granular user right restrictions.
    2. XAMPP is only used for local site development. Once the site is developed you have to transfer it to a real hosting provider. Use Akeeba Backup extension to back up site locally and restore it on a hosted server.
    3. Not sure what you meant about “sending” templates. You can build the site using one of the standard templates and then change it at any time if you decide to buy or build a custom one.
    4. You can revoke access from any user at any time and assign a new content moderator.
    5. I have been using Hostgator hosting for my sites. It’s very inexpensive and reliable.

    Good luck!
