Answer 1

You should register your domain yourself. They are not expensive and should not be a condition of hosting. Domains are akin to company names, take control of your own domain!

The easiest way for a novice to build a web site is to start with a web template. Web Templates can be customized and you can use the layout but swap the graphics etc.... this will get you comfortable with basic HTML design and an HTML editor (like Dreamweaver).

Here are some resources for free or inexpensive templates that are easy to edit and manage.

Webmaster Templates - http://www.webmaster-templates.net

Free Web Templates - http://www.freewebtemplates.com/

Web Design Elements - http://www.webdesign-elements.com

Free Website Templates - http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/

Free Layouts - http://www.freelayouts.com/

Free Templates Online - http://www.freetemplatesonline.com

HTML website templates can significantly ease the burden of designing and creating websites by providing webmasters with a ready-made web layout, structure, basic graphics, and color scheme.

The templates can generally be edited and customized with any HTML editor. The biggest advantage for webmasters using ready-made templates is the amount of time that can be saved.

Hi Kenshiro,

The best and easy way to start a website is to start a blog using blogger.com or wordpress and host it on your own website.

The blog will be your website, and you will find that it is much easier this way to change it and add fresh conttent to it, when ever you want.

I recommend Host4Profit for hosting, they really give a lot for the value of your money

I recommend GoDaddy for domain registration and hostmonster for hosting. HostMonster comes with a control panel and so everything is as easy as clicking...

Answer 5

If you want a small budget  or maybe none, you can try free service. I suggest you using free blog like blogger.com or blogsome.com. it is free and no need skill in web design.

You just type wht you want in your blog and ..........that's it. FREE

A good place to look would be http://www.myabcspace.com/1/ They have an easy to use editor that anyone can use as well as a host of other great features

Answer 7

It depends where you want to go . If it's just a web presence then template, free hosting etc. If you are serious and want to build a website for the future then a different approach is required. See http://www.ds32.com for advice.

Answer 8

There are some really good ones out there such as Blogger.com and Freewebs.com that are free. Then there are those more like what you are referring to that allow you to build your own website with templates, multiple pages, and many of the advanced features that you are wanting. One good example I found via search is http://martinezshopper.ws

Answer 9

http://www.ltswebdesign.com is a very reputable company.
