ThE rEaL aNd BeSt AnSwEr Is\n\nRahul, Since 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

Here are a few generic design guides and tutorials aimed at teaching you how to lay pages out and how to optimise the page for the users best usage and enjoyment. Basically If you go to a site which claims to teach web design and the first page you see leaves you feeling lost or sick then it's best to go no further :)\n\nhttp://www.bedfordstmartins.com/markel_tutorial/\nhttp://www.webreference.com/authoring/design/tutorials.html\nhttp://www.entheosweb.com/website_design/default.asp\n\nThis one hasn't been mentioned yet and is a cracking site that gives you a lot more than HTML should you be wanting to add more to your site and make it more dynamic, each different language is seperate and easy to identify so you won't be overloaded by confusing terms if all you want is HTML\n\nhttp://www.devguru.com/\n\nthis next site gives an excelent set of tutorials for all the different aspects of HTML\n\nhttp://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/\n\nAnd lastly a few links to some goodies and extras relating to HTML\n\nhttp://www.htmlgoodies.com/\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp\nhttp://bignosebird.com/html.shtml\nhttp://www.tips-tricks.com/\nhttp://www.web-source.net/html_tips.htm\nhttp://www.allgraphicdesign.com/swish.html\n\nFinally you mention that you want this site to be private.  By this do you mean that it contains information that you don't want to share with anyone else on the web unless you give them access?  If so then you will need to have some form of login and password protection, to achieve this you would need to use a wed design languange like .NET or JSP to do it properly, and that will take a lot more learning, and you will also need to find a host site that supports this.\n\nBetter for you might be to search for a personal web space provider that supplies templates and photo sharing facilities that you you can customise the look and feel of, but only share with friends and family.

Start a website seems to be the easiest thing. It won't cost you much and will put your work out there. With the right amount of promotion ... hey who knows.\nI design websites myself, but I'm quite busy right now, but if you search the web I'm sure you'll find someone to do it for you for the right price.

Use a good template which you can easily edit. \n\nNormally all the designing is done on your computer and then uploaded to your server.\n\nTool such as MS Publisher will help you do this with ease. There are lots of other tools such as dream weaver etc.\n\nThere is no admin page as such, only admin mode with only access to you so that you can edit your site.\n\nPlease take some free webdesigning tutorials online.

I assume you want to design your own pages. When you are learning to do this, start with something very simple (perhaps a short piece of text). The practise page can easily be deleted later.\nYou will need to gradually become familiar with the format of a page of HTML - messing about with the HTML of your practise page will help and you can do this directly using the Geocities HTML editor.\n1. Create a VERY simple page with a text editor (perhaps 'Notepad' or 'Word').\n2. From the 'File' menu, choose 'Save As' and select HTML. Give your file a name (e.g. test1) and save it to somewhere you can find it again ('My Documents') perhaps.\n3. Log in to your Geocities website, select the Advanced HTML editor, find the link that asks 'Upload?' and click it.\n4. You will be able to upload five files at a time though of course you have only created one so far. Click where it says 'Browse' at the end of the first box and find the file you have just created.\n5. Upload the file.\n6. You can now use the editor to preview your new page, edit it, and generally mess about with the HTML code.\n7. Try making a page with two similar chunks of text in different formats (colour, size, etc.) and see how the HTML differs.\n8. If you want to use pictures too on a page don't forget to upload the picture to the site! Again use a SIMPLE graphic first. Notice how hyperlinks are used to connect (link) your page with the graphic.\n9. Learn how to use hyperlinks to connect all the pages in you website together.\n10. Experiment, investigate, have fun!

look for a hosting website, like geocities, lycos etc, or buy a domain name, and start formatting html and putting whatever you want up! there are also companies who can do it for you.\n\nif you start with geocities, you get a webpage free, but its limited and theres ads and things.
