There are lots of great tools out there that are helpful, including sites that offer templates and help you get started. I have been impressed with the tools and service of GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com). If you'd like to learn more about the process, consider buying this book, which outlines the process, step-by-step: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764507206/103-8389304-7234204?v=glance&n=283155\n\nHere's some tips from http://website-design.mcdar.net/:\n\nSo you want to build a website here I will explain some simple but also key aspects that are commonly taken in to consideration when a website developer creates a website.\n\n1) Website Design - The website design must be neat meaning that everything looks like where it is meant to be (nothing out of place or out of proportion). Also your sites design is related to the topic of your website e.g. your site is about flowers then your design must have flowers.\n\n2) Site Navigation - Visitors must be able to get where they want to go without going through a maze a good way of putting it if you can get there in 3 clicks it should be fine. Also it helps when search engine spiders go through your site since it makes it easy for the spiders to index the site.\n\n3) Domain Name - Domain name is important since it is one of the first thing that your visitors will see. Your domain should relate to your site topic or business name. Length of the domain usually 6-8 characters is a good length and easy for visitors to type.\n\n4) Scroll Bars - don't make your website pages too long so your visitors have to scroll for hours it is also a good option to just create another page and don't make people scroll side to side.\n5) Returning Visitors - make your visitors return to your site by adding one or all to your site:\n\n- Email Newsletter (Ezine)\n- Community Forums\n- Online Tools\n- Online Games\n- Useful Content\n- Competitions and Prizes\n- and so on\n\n5) Website Logo - Make your logo unique and brandable so that people will remember your logo and then will remember your site and products.\n\nThese are some simple points that you may take into consideration when you build your website if you need some further assistance have a look at your competitors website and see what they have done. Remember what you put in is what you get out of your website and on that note GOOD LUCK and enjoy the whole process of building your very own virtual property.\n\n\nAll that said, if you'd like something simple and quick, here's the company that made my website, and they charged me less than $300. I knew nothing about doing it, but it came out great and they guided me every step of the way: www.wordtechs.com.\n\n\nGood luck with your new venture!\n~Tia~

1. Find a webhost. Try a google search for "free web host."\n\n2. Get a domain. This'll be your web address. The webhost might give you one, or you might have to go find your own.\n\n3. The webhost might have a tool for making a website easily. If not, you'll have to make your own webpages. You can use Microsoft Frontpage, or even better, learn XHTML and hand-code it.

If you are interested in something more, but still fairly simple try GeoCities or Yahoo.\n\nIf you are willing to learn HTML I would suggest ATSPACE.COM. You can create a website for FREE up to 50MBs in size. I have two websites through them and the uptime is great. NO ADS, NO BANNERS. You'll need an ftp program to upload your stuff. There's a good free one for personal use called "FTP Explorer". Of course you'll either need to learn HTML or use one of the WYSIWYG programs like FrontPage or DreamWeaver to actually design your site. e-mail me if you need some help...\n\nIf you want your own domain and have it hosted, I suggest ReadyHosting. You get 1GB of space unlimted e-mail accounts, FTP access and domain name registration all for $99 a year.\n\nWeb hosting site (FREE):\nhttp://www.atspace.com\nWeb hosting site (COST):\nhttp://www.readyhosting.com\nFTP Explorer site:\nhttp://www.ftpx.com\n\nA couple of my websites:\nPioneer Baseball Website (ReadyHosting - Cost)\nhttp://www.pioneerbaseball.org\nMy Son's Travel Team's Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tricountytitans.atspace\nFamily Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tim8w.atspace.com

Now a days this is so much more simple then just 2 years ago and dont get me going on the hours I spent learning 10 years ago. Many web site hosting providers have pay by the month e-commerce sites that are cookie cutter and ready to go with little or no knowledge needed. I have use countless but find 1and1.com (thats the number one and one) to be the best bang for your buck. You can find almost anything you want to know about building websites by doing a google search on "Building my own website" not to mention the 100's of books you can find at you local book store. I have been building website for people for almost 7 years now and have not even come close to learning as much as I would like but if you are looking to get going look for one of the cookie cutter template sites that are an all in one. That provide web hosting, domain reg, templates (for ecomm sites) and low price. Good luck and enjoy I know I do.

I recommend www.ixwebhosting.com.  \nPlenty of space, domain name, etc. etc.  Looks like a sweet deal.  \n\nKeep in mind - if you choose Linux/Unix hosting over Windows based because it is cheaper, remember that your code will be CASE SENSITIVE!  \nOr at least I believe it will... anyway, www.ixwebhosting.com looks good.  \nGood luck.

ThE rEaL aNd BeSt AnSwEr Is\n\nSince this is yahoo, try Yahoo Geocities or Google Page Creator. Just take some time to read some of their tutorials. They are both decent web page creators. Geocities is better because it has been around longer. Google Page Creator is still in beta.\n\nOwning a website like yourname.com takes some experience and knowledge. And you have to be able to enter into a contract to own a domain. And you need to comprehend HTML and Javascript. The ability to make graphics on your own.\n\n\nFirst TRY www.GEOCITIES.com/\n\n1)Free\n2)Easy to use\n3)online tools like page builder\n4)counter\n5)guestbook\n6)You can upgrade at anytime to your own domain\n7)web address like geocities.com/YOURYAHOOID\n8)15mb of space\n\nOther Sites\nwww.freewebtown.com/\nwww.netfirms.com/\npages.google.com/ \nwww.sitesled.com/\nwww.freewebs.com/\nwww.bravenet.com/\nwww.angelfire.com/\nwww.tripod.lycos.com/\nwww.free-webhosts.com/\nwww.50megs.com/\nwww.20m.com/\n\nand MaNy MoRe

I personally recommend ATSPACE.COM. The host is free and allows up to 50MB of webspace, FTP Uploads/Downloads and NO ADS! Most Free hosts don't allow CGI, PHP or ASP. Usually only HTML and JavaScript.\n\nATSPACE.COM\nhttp://www.atspace.com\n\nHere are two sites I've created on this host:\nhttp://tim8w.atspace.com\nhttp://tricountytitans.atspace.com
