  1. As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

    If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

    One of these services is reachable at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . Their service is really great and easy to use. This company offers "Free Site Builder" that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get).


  2. A domain name is the principle identifier of your site. Think of it as your last name.

    A subdomain is an optional, secondary identifier for your site. Think of it as your first name.

    Domain names are what makes up the beginning portions of a URL. First is the protocol (http://), followed by any number of subdomains (www), followed by the domain name (yahoo), followed by the top-level domain (com).

    Use Yahoo! Answers as an example. The domain name is "yahoo", the subdomain is "answers", and the TLD is "com". Therefore, when put together to form a FQDN (fully qualified domain name), you get "answers.yahoo.com".

    You can purchase domain names from any number of TLDs. Domain names are purchased from domain registrars. Register.com, Godaddy.com, and Network Solutions are top examples for registrars. They are purchased on a yearly basis.

    Once you purchase a domain, you have the option of creating multiple subdomains. Depending on the registrar, you have anywhere from a few to unlimited subdomains available for use.

    When your domain has been purchased, you need to secure a hosting provider, and add content to your website.

  3. well, how much are you planning on paying? they arent free....

    use google and type "cheap hosting"
