I am new in arcgis . I just made a map in arcgis in my pc. Now i want to show this map in my site using javascript. Where should i upload these map files? And how to access them by javascript?
You have to publish your map as MapService on your own ArcGIS for Server instance (if you have one), or in the cloud, using for example ArcGIS for Developers.
You can access your published MapService through the ArcGIS API for Javascript.

I am a little bit unclear about arcgis for server? what is it and what it's purpose? how can i use it? do i have to install it on server? ( I don't have arcgis for server) . How to use cloud to host my map?? Please can you elaborate? I really need to know.
Thanks in advance 😄
actually i have a client who has a simple map build in arcgis 10. Now he wants me to make a site where the map will be shown and if a user clicks on a shape file it's attribute will be shown . As simple as that.now i dont understand that where i will upload my map files.as its a very simple task i dont want to buy any service like arc gis for server.is there a way to do it free. I tried to make a map in arcgis.com,and i also tried to upload shape files that i have. But it says that i cant upload because it has more then 1000 features. So,my main problem is where to upload maps(free if possible) and how to access it.i dont have any problem with uploading it on cloud. I dont know what to do.plz help 😞
You could use an ArcGIS for Developers account. With such account, you'll get 50 free credits per month, that can be used for development and testing. Do you have ArcGIS for Desktop installed? If so, you can just upload your map directly from it.
Also, take a look at these links:
