Domain name is not a Universal resourse locator.  NOr is it the name of a website.  It is a name that you own.  Usually something that you can group your resources under.  Several DNS records are available.\n\n\n\nA records provide a pointer to a resource.  Usually to a website\n\nMX records are mail records pointing to a email server.\n\nany ways a domain is like having an address to which all of your family can be found.  Rent one for about 9 bucks a year if you want to provide your own email server and web server\n\nRent one for about 9 to 15 a month and some one will include them for you.\n\nDo your buisness right and find some one who knows what they are doing to create your web site....  its worth the money.

You can use Yahoo Geocities http://geocities.yahoo.com/join/ where you have the option of starting a website for free or low cost hosting of $8.95 per month.\n\nOr you can use Yahoo Small Business Hosting http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/compare.php where hosting plans range from $11.95 to $39.95\n\nFree is good for personal websites but has significant limitations for a web-based operation. For one, having a geocities web address does not look professional - it just looks cheap. You also need to consider the following:\n\n- Scalability: what if your business grows and you need more features. This means you will move to a paid hosting as free hosting has severe limitations on what you can do. Such a move is costly -- you will be basically changing your domain name from http://www.geocities.com/mywidgets/widgets.html to http://www.widgets.com . This implies that all your marketing will be put to waste as you will be starting from scratch all over again\n\n- Your plans to monetize your website. If you go for the free Geocities, you will have limited options in showing ads. You cannot apply to programs like Google Adsense because Geocities is showing Yahoo ads and Adsense has a clause that prohibits its publishers from displaying competing ads in the same page.\n\n- The requirements of your business. With free hosting, you are limited to the scripts available - you can't put in your own. If you plan to add an ecommerce component later on, you won't be able to do it.\n\nI suggest that if you are intent in pursuing a web business, start it right and do it with a paid hosting. There are a number of low cost hosting providers out there such as Godaddy.com http://www.godaddy.com

Check with your local ISP.  They frequently have someone on staff who can develop a basic site for you. If you are looking for something more substantial, it may cost you, but check the yellow pages ...\n\nIf I knew where you lived, I might be able to recommend someone more specific ...\n\nIn the end, decide what exactly you want to accomplish with your website, and shop around.  Be obvious, tell everyone who quotes you that you are loking for the best deal !!

There is no service that provides free domain names. Some companies will include a free domain name when you pay monthly for server space, but that's not really free.

I just had some good luck with www.godaddy.com.  It was easy and the domain name (2yrs) and hosting (1yr) cost $69.99.  You can either use their site builder or another product like Front Page.  They have great directions online and I even received a personal phone call the day after I signed up to make sure things were going well...now that's service.  Good Luck!

There are couple of ways to buy a domain name. \n1. Go to a domain registrar like 1and1 Internet and type in the domain name you are interested in to search to see if it is available for purchase. If the domain has not been registered then you can just following the instructions to register the domain yourself. 1and1 Internet offers the best domain package around for $5.99, which includes free 1GB email/Webmail, 5-page starter Web site and lots of tools/softwares to get you online. See a sample Web site at http://www.superfina.com\n\n2. If the domain that you want is already registered by someone else then you can go to domain aftermarket such as Sedo to see if you can purchase it from its owner. Sedo is a gloabl marketplace for buying and selling domain names and Web sites. You can also park your domain name with Sedo and earn money. Another good domain aftermarket is Afternic.

Well, firstly there are two thins you need. Number 1: Domain name. Number 2: Web hosting.\n\nYou can buy a domain name from many providers namely, Yahoo! Domains, Godaddy.com and other sites that can easily be discovered through a web search.\n\nYou will also need hosting. You can buy or 'rent' this rather, or host it on your computer using Microsoft's IIS setup wizard.\n\nIf you're really desperate you can use Yahoo! GeoCities or another great site called freewebs. To go to freewebs visit www.freewebs.com

Yahoo Geocities\nBlogger.com for a business blog\n\nNote though that free websites are not often looked as professional, especially if you are selling something. Less credible.

First, secure a URL and purchase the website domain name (register.com, godaddy.com).  Second, determine the scope of work involved with the site.  ie: how much information do you want to convey to the user?  Third, determine if this is something that your company has the bandwidth (and resources) to create in-house.  Remember that this website is an extension of your company, your brand, and an important touch point for your clients and prospects.  I can't believe how many horrible websites are out there.  Lastly, contact a few different interactive agencies that specialize in website development work.  Submit an RFP and see what kind of pricing they give you.  \n\nThis is something that is worth spending money on...and worth doing right.

If you're looking for a totally free site, check out yahoo, geocities, angelfire, or my space. If you are looking for something a little more polished, 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~

Only way i can find to get free domain names is if you help generate some looks on other sites and gather up points.. The link below has some links to places which offer free domain's. but truely..10 bucks is a good deal for 1yr domain. GoDaddy Also supports, Checks, Debt, and Paypal, So you dont really need a CC anymore these days.

No. Do not listen to ANYONE here. There is no such thing as a free domain for ANYONE. You have to pay to have your own domain. There are great deals out there. However, nor-profit or not, they are never free. You can register domains very cheap these days. I have found one site I like very much. http://active-domain.com another place is http://godaddy.com both of these registrars offer good deals, and you own the domain. Many places you can buy domains from will register them in THEIR NAME not yours. So if you want to transfer the domain to a new registrar you cant. Also, hosting is different than registration. Every domain in the world has to be registered and eventually it is through the same place. So again THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE DOMAIN REGISTRATION. YOU HAVE TO PAY. Find the best place to buy your domain, then you will have to pay to host it. There are  few places left in the world that will give you a free web space, however, they will not link it to a domain, it will be very small, enough for a few text pages at most. Don't get scammed into anything FREE. Also, you should register a .org address if you are a non-profit organization.

To have your own web site doesn't necessarily require you to pay for it. There are free options everywhere which let you create, store, and publish your web site - entirely FREE. The provider will create a sub-domain specifically as your identification. It may look similar to www.provider/yourname.com and/or //yourname.provider.com. The provider will allocate some space for you as well as control panel so that you will be able to manage your web site.\n\nAdvantage: \n- Free of course!\n- A perfect start for beginner to learn about web development\n\nDisadvantage: \n- Sounds not professional\n- Visitors/friends will know automatically that your site is a free hosting\n- Bombarded with advertisements. (...and lots of it!)\n- Limited expandability\n\nHowever, since you are asking for a specific domain name that needs modification of TLD database (managed by ICANN), you have to pay for it. Some even offer for free (a trick though). Worry not. The domain fee won't hurt your wallet. The fee range from $7-$30/year these days - how much is that going to hurt you?\n\nAdvantage: \n- That unique name belongs to you (ONLY YOU!), \n- Can be transferable shall you wish to subscribe to paid hosting\n- Sounds more professional\n- Fully expandable. You manage your web site\n\nDisadvantage: \n- Need to pay of course!\n\nWhat about hosting? The same goes as above but I do find somewhere in the search engines where you can lease the hosting space for $0.50/month!! An excellent choice for beginners.
