The company that I have used, and the one with the best prices I have found for "unlimited" access is http://www.superuser.net They will host and register your domain name for free as long as you are with them and if you choose the setup with unlimited access then you don't have to worry about getting hit with thousands of dollars worth of bills.  In short most hosting sites give you a preset limit on visitors megs of downloads and then if you go over charge you accordingly.  This can get horribly expensive.  These folks start at around 12 bucks a month for 2 gigs of storage space and have unlimited downloads so no matter how many folks go to your site you won't pay a bit more.  They also have anonymous FTP you can setup which will allow your viewers a much faster download than regular HTML and can be done with simple click off your webpage.  I started a website for a non-profit civic organization in California awhile back and set them up to be hosted there.  Works excellent.  Also they have a checkout and catalog system already installed where you can sell and categorize your wares if you want to sell any of your stuff and take credit cards, etc.  If anybody knows of a site with a better deal please post it and let me know as well.  :-)

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!

You're going to pay to get a domain or pay for the hosting, and as noted before, you've got to provide some sort of legit credentials to get a domain name, so that combo is out.\n\nYou can always get someone to register a domain by proxy for you ... such as Domains By Proxy, which has a partnership with GoDaddy.com to register domains in their name, so yours doesn't get seen.\n\nFree Web hosting, which includes a subdomain:\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-NVb99sQ4RK5BVgIbxdcQdcRtfT8-?cq=1&p=7\n\nJust provide fake contact info. It's not a problem as long as no one complains about your site.

honestly hosting your own is often a good idea apache is a free webserver free dns is exatly what it sounds like you can host your own pages so all you need to pay for is your computer which sense your on yahoo answers i know you have and internet which is also a given.

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.

Can I answer this even though I don't consider myself to be an expert?\n\nIf you are looking for alternative ways to host or serve, look into the Microsoft exchange component. I high encourage you to do your research and shop and compare.\n\nI'm just supplying you with just another resource here and I'm not selling anything nor am I promoting it. If you would care to investigate the possibility of serving from home, take a look and make up your own mind.\n\nHow to build your own web server and NEVER pay hosting fees again.\nhttp://www.diywebhosting.com/

Step 1: \nRegister your domain name.  You can register a domain name at yahoo or at godaddy.com.  \n\nStep 2: \nGet web hosting.  YOu can get web hosting thru Yahoo or Godaddy, or a gazillion other web hosting companies on line.  You will likely only need a teeny bit of disk space for your site, but you may want to make sure you have at least 500mb of space so that you have enough room to have email accounts associated with your website/domain.  Get a UNIX/RedHat/Linux/Apache type account.  You don't need to pay for "windows" hosting.  You should pay between $7 and $20 per month for hosting.... less, and you don't know what kind of customer service you are going to get, more, and you are paying too much.\n\nStep 3:\nGo to the place where you registered your domain name and make sure your DNS is pointing to the place where you are hosting your website.  \n\nmore explanation: if you register mycompany.com and your host is hostingcompany.com, you need to make sure your domain name is pointing to hosting company.  your dns may look like this:\n\nns1.hostingcompany.com\nns2.hostingcompany.com\n\nOften times your webhost will do the DNS transfer for you.  You will need to tell them your regristrar account's username and password.  That's their job.  It's ok to give it to them.  You might want to change it afterwards though.\n\nSide note: I recommend registering your own domain.  Don't have your hosting company register it for you, as you want to own your domain name and have it registered in your own name.\n\nStep 4:\nThe next step, of course, is to create your website and then load it onto your server.  You should learn XHTML and CSS to do a good job here.  You only need a text editor such as notepad or textpad to create your site and the filemanager portion of your control panel (see below) to upload your files, but you can also go all out and get Dreamweaver, or other WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor.  I recommend Thomsons book "New Perspectives on HTML, XHTML, and Dynamic HTML, Comprehensive"\n\nTerms:\n\nMySQL:\nMySQL is a type of database.  If this is your first website and you asked the question you did, you likely will never need to use it.  However, it is good to get a hosting package that allows for at least one MySQL database.  You will only ever need one database, as you can have almost unlimited tables in this one database.\n\ncPanel:\ncPanel is a control panel for webhosting.  It's a type of control panel... brand name.  It is a really great control panel.  WHat is a control panel?  A control panel is a GUI by which you can control your website.  It includes file manager, where you can upload pages to your website (uploading means putting files from your computer onto your website that is hosted by your hosting company you picked in step 2), control of .htaccess, which allows you to set up password protected directories, email, which allows you to set a default account for your site as well as create email mail boxes and email forwards.

They have everything you need.\n\nEnjoy!

No, you don't have to buy both at the same place. You can shop around for your domain, and you can get really good deals at sites like godaddy.com, etc. Even Yahoo offers dirt cheap options for registering domain names. Each of these companies, however, will try to sell other services (hosting, email, etc.) to you that cost a lot more. Compare the price of the hosting services separately and sign up with the best/cheapest. During the signup process with your hosting service, it will ask you if you want to register a new domain or transfer an existing one. Then, you can choose to transfer the existing domain which you got earlier. The process of transferring an existing domain is always free, I think.

not sure if you can "upload" to both domains at once but you could just redirect one domain to the other domain.  Might be easier to manage that way.

for free hosting, try google superpages or yahoo geocities ,\nits sort of free hosting, but you are limited to a subdomain on googlepages & geo has ads on your website - otherwise I would use http://www.interkeys.com/tophosts to get one for a few bucks a month with 500 GIG bandwidth and the rich with features\n\nits up to you how developed a site you want and if you want to use your own domain name

I'd like to know more about the microsoft free domain and hosting for life deal. They charge my business each month (after the beta period anyhow).\n\nBUT... Here's an alternative if you don't mind having five small links (NOT banners) at the bottom of each page in exchange for free hosting complete with cPanel and FrontPage extensions.

Yes, you can host your Web site with pretty much any Web hosting services regardless of where you bought the domain. \n\nIf you have not purchased your domain with Yahoo, then check out 1and1 Internet. They offer the best domain name and Web hosting packages around...all within the same company. Domain package is just $5.99 and includes free 1GB email/Webmail, 5-page starter Web site and lots of tools and software to get you online. See a sample site at http://www.boomsoft.com\n\nWeb hosting package starts as low as $2.99 and comes with tons of useful tools and software to help you get your Web site online. See a sample Web site hosted with 1and1 Internet at http://www.vinafina.com

You will need to register your domain name and choose a web hosting plan for your website.  I recommend http://www.1and1.com for both.

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. All the others listed here are plastered with ads!\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
