    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!

    The domain name is an annual fee, though you can usually find places that offer discounts if you pay for multiple years at once.

    The hosting is separate. That is usually a monthly charge.

    Think of the domain name as land you bought, it's just an address, an empty lot. You need a place to live in and keep all your things and thats where the hosting comes in. Think of the hosting as a rental trailer where you keep all your things. (I hope I didn't confuse you even more.)
