You would first need to do what you do with any business and that is to devlope a business plan and market survey. You need to find out of your business model can actually make any money in the market you are in.\n\nIn the case of hosting there is a lot of guys already in the market but that does not mean you can't make a go at it.\n\nI would probably start by just being a reseller to get an idea if I can even market hosting and make money at it. As you gain in customers you could move to having your own server either by renting from the hosting company you resale for or build a server and set it up at a co-location site. Once you get enough business you could then move to your own site with your own redundant systems, etc or stay at the co-location site.

There are many ways to have your own websites.\n\nFirstly, to have a website, you need a domain name. You can book the domain name with .com, .net, .org for Rs.325/- to Rs.350/- p.a now a days. If you are using the free hosting services mentioned below, you have the option to use names like http://www.freehostingco.com/yourname or http://yourname.freehostingco.com \n\nThe few main websites which provides free hosting of website are mentioned below, you can have look at each of them as each one have their own limitations and options available.\nhttp://geocities.yahoo.com/\nhttp://www.bravenet.com/webhosting/\nhttp://www.tripod.lycos.com/\n\nThere are more than 25 sites which provides free webhosting.\n\nYou can host your own domain name with paid hosting which costs now a days very little such as hosting your site on linux with 10MB space starts from Rs.750/- p.a. whereas to host on window NT server with 10MB space starts from Rs.1,500/- p.a.\n\nIf you require more details or information, you can visit http://www.solutionask.com and enquire with infosolutionask.com

first, you have to know what type of services your website will provide, so, you can determine what exactly the requirements of your Host.\nah, Host: the server that will 'host' your website files, the PC that will always be on so everyone writes the name of your site in the browser will be able to see your site.\nThere are too many host services available, and for sure every service will cost you more, also hosting php and mysql is cheaper than hosting aspx and sql server.\n\nDesigning the site, and creating it is up to you, you can create it your own and upload it, or make an agreement with another company to build it, upload it for you, and pay for it all.\n\n2nd, Domain: host providers can provide you reserving the name you choose for your site, or , you can reserve it on other domain servers.\n\nI suggest canaca, it is very effective, and one of the cheapest you can find.

First, you will have to decide if you wish to use your own domain name (i.e., http://www.mydomain.com) or prefer to use a subdomain (i.e., http://www.yahoo.com/myshop/) You may wish to consider using Yahoo Small Business for your needs until you get more capital - http://sbs.smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/?p=1 for as low as $8.95 a month. (i.e., I will not post links to other commercial businesses that offer these services because its a violation of Yahoo rules but you can Google them). The Yahoo Starter package includes all the things you need to get started, including MySQL (you can even create a customized shopping cart), PHP, etc and enough pages to suit your for as long as you are still a small businesses. It also offers over 200 email addresses, and a Sitebuilder with templates that you could get started with.\n\nYou may also consider using your home computer to host your own website for free. It would need to have an dedicated internet connection and server software such as Apache (free web server). I wouldn't recommend this until you have more experience and capital.

U need to buy Webserver software first. Better if you could buy a Server too or if not, put it somewhere else. Why not just buy a space and use other people Webserver. Its cheaper unless u want to start big.

Creating a website takes a few steps:\n\n1) You're going to have to find a place that will host your website. (I suggest www.godaddy.com because it's what I use.)\n\n2) You're going to have to find a unique name that no one has. (e.g. www.superwebsitenamethatscool.com)\n\n3) You're going to have to purchase this name and pay for it on a yearly basis. (I pay about $12 a year for mine)\n\n4) You're going to have to purchase an FTP Server that will hold all your images and webpages. (Godaddy will sell you one for about $4 a month)\n\n5) You're going to have to build your own website using HTML code or something like Frontpage or Dreamweaver.\n\n6) Once you build your site you upload it to your FTP Server and tell godaddy where it is and you're done!\n\nIt's really really simple. Hope that helps!\n\n~Mark Lim\n\nhttp://www.poisonappleshirts.com

The first thing you need is a host. A host is the person that will hold your website for you, and put it online so that others can view it.\n\nIf this is your first website, there are some easy, free hosts out there. Geocities (geocities.yahoo.com) offers a free website if you don't mind some ads on it. Others include Freeservers.com or www.thefreesite.com\n\n-------------------\n\nNext, you need some way of making your website. Usually this involves HTML, but if you don't know any then find a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. That is, an editor that will allow you to edit colors and type and see exactly how the website will look. Geocities includes this on their site, so I'd recommend you start with them.\n\nIf you're interested in really making a good website, I would recommend trying to learn HTML. If you go to Google and type in 'HTML tutorial' you'll find a plethora of good sites out there.\n\nHope this helped you.
