Creating a Website

[binka_nugget]

I highly recommend Magicomm.net. You can buy a domain through them (I think I paid $9), and get a plan for as low as $1 or pay the yearly fee (I think it's lower than $12). The $1 plan is more than most people need too! I get a custom plan for $5.95/month which includes 2 GB space and 30 GB bandwidth.

I've been doing webdesign for over 7 years. This is my most recent site: oh-my-dog.ca It's not hard making a basic site, however, my sites in the beginning were an eyesore. It'll be costly hiring someone. I'd suggest looking on the barter section on craigslist.com There are usually some pretty good non-pro designers who are willing to trade.

nice website. one question though, why is there a big blank space at the bottom of your web pages?

I use a free software called pagebreeze to do my website. I like it because I can easily switch from HTML editor to WYSIWYG

I have always used www.homestead.com . It's very easy to follow their website builder and there are different levels of packages you can buy.

Will this be a personal site or an informational site? I can probably help on the graphics.
I bought a domain from Godaddy in July and still haven't put up my site. I have the main page and graphics though! It's daft-like-jack.net. I payed $9 a year to own the domain, and got free hosting from godaddy, although there are ads. Last year I payed something like $60 that covered hosting the whole year, no ads. This time I want to find something a little cheaper.
If you end up going through GoDaddy, enter code "MUGGLE" when you check out for a discount.

Hi!

This will be soo much fun!

Now.. I don't know about which domains are the best..but when you actually get your website and you need help with things like HTML and stuff like that, I can totally help you with that!
I love codes!!

Good luck!

I know a lot about HTML but have no idea how to start a website Well actually i have, but just for fun and the free ones anyways. Yes you can hire someone to do it for you.

What will the website be about?

Hopefully, the website will be for an up-and-coming business...hopefully. Stay tuned for more info on that!

Okay, so I was looking at Captain's links, and, it looks pretty simple (HTML codes and whatnot) but I highly doubt I'll be able to produce a nice looking website by myself. So either I can hire somebody or go the homestead.com route, and, seeing as web designers cost several hundred dollars, I'm leaning towards the latter.

That is, unless, I can find a friend/family or somebody to work with.

However, another question, I was reading some of your replies and apparently you have to buy the domain (one time fee) and pay for hosting (monthly/annual fee)? I thought these two were one and the same. I thought once you buy the domain, you're good!
