Hi Jen,\n\nFrontpage is a really good program to use if you are a novice. You will still be able to use Frontpage to design your site, the difference will be that you may not be able to use the frontpage functionality to upload your site, depending on who you use to host your website. I would say that if you use Yahoo to host your site you won't be able to use Frontpage to upload. There are other programs out there that you can use to do the same thing after you have designed your site in Frontpage.

parkerjr2 is right about learning a bit more stuff.\n\nYou might also consider godaddy which has templated sites, forums, shopping carts and so on. Not expensive either.\n\nNothing prevents you from having your site and forum on one host and the shopping cart on another (yahoo has a shopping cart service which many people use - you don't even realize it's yahoo until you check out).

There's several places you can get a free website including from Yahoo (their service is called Geocities).\n\nIf you're serious about creating a website and want one that looks professional then I wouldn't consider a free site, there are many paid for sites that need only cost you a few dollars a month.\n\nHere's some of the things to consider about free sites...\n\n-- 1 --\nYou're often restricted in the type of files you can have, some sites don't allow MP3's or video files for example.\n\n-- 2 --\nThere's usually a bandwidth limit (this is the amount of data that's downloaded).  It normally doesn't take long to reach the bandwidth limit and when this happens the site becomes unavailable - you've probably come across such sites yourself.  The bandwidth limit is often hourly and also monthly.  If you hit your hourly limit your site will be down for about an hour but if you hit your monthly limit if could be down for days or even weeks.\n\n-- 3 --\nMost free sites have a limit to the amount of space you have to store your site.  Large files such as music and video will very quickly fill the space.  Simple text pages don't use much space but when you start adding a few graphics this can soon add up.\n\n-- 4 --\nThere's rarely any technical support with free sites other than user forums.  If something goes wrong it's up to you to sort it out.\n\n-- 5 --\nSome copmpanies that provide free sites are 'here today and gone tomorrow' - just what you need if you've spent ages designing a nice site.  Others are initially free but then state you have to pay or your site will be deleted.  To avoid this stick with the well known and established names such as Tripod/Lycos and Yahoo/Geocities.\n\n-- 6 --\nFree sites are often limited in what you can do, a lot won't support PSP or MySql, some don't even support Java.  Could mean that features such as forums, blogs, guestbooks etc aren't possible on your site.\n\n-- 7 --\nA free site has to pay for itself somehow, no company is going to give away webspace without getting something in return.  One common practice is to place adverts on your site.  Sometimes these ads are themed and related to your site but other times they're completely unrelated.\n\n-- 8 --\nOften the site isn't transferable except to a paid for service provided by the same company.  This can be a serious problem if your site becomes popular and you need to move it somewhere that can accomodate your growing needs.\n\n-- 9 --\nOften any extras are hugely expensive, if for example you want to buy more data transfer (bandwidth) you could easily be paying $1 per GB.  It might not sound a lot but if you're also paying for more web storage space and access to certain tools it will work out far more expensive than having a paid-for site.\n\n-- 10 --\nYou won't get your own domain name so instead of having xyzcompany.com you'll have something like freewebhostingcompany/xyzcompany.com.\n\n-- FREE SITES --\nIf you still want a free website then this page here... http://www.free-webhosts.com/search-webhosts.php is an excellent resource as it compares no less than 545 different free webhosts complete with reviews and user comments for each one.\n\nHere's some links to the 4 most popular free webhosts...\n\nLycos Tripod (CNet rating 9 out of 10)\nhttp://www.tripod.lycos.com/ \n\nLycos Angelfire (CNet rating 6 out of 10)\nhttp://angelfire.lycos.com/\n\nYahoo Geocities (CNet rating 8 out of 10)\nhttp://geocities.yahoo.com/home/ \n\nExpress Page (CNet rating 4 out of 10)\nhttp://www.expage.com/\n\n-- PERSONAL RECOMENDATION --\nIf you want a decent site with a wide range of tools and virtually no restirictions then go for a paid one.  They're not expensive and you'll have infinitely more flexibility to design and expand your site.\n\n1 and 1 is the world's number one webhosting company where you can get a site for as little as

I think that Yahoo doesn't provide this to just anybody.  It is only available to Yahoo Web Hosting clients.  The documentation on this can be found here:\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/sitebuilder2/sitesearch/

No, Yahoo! uses their own search engine. The difference is that whereas Google will index pretty much anything it finds on the web, the Yahoo! search engine is more selective. It will only index websites that have unique content. (It also tends to rank pages on Yahoo! higher.)

I have several sites on Geocities, but wouldn't recommend them anymore, because:\n\n- they have a huge lateral bar on the right full of ads - makes your pages look "cheap"\n\n- they now installed a new effective pop-up system and you see it each time you go on your site (and visitors can think you are doing it, and they close your page right away).\n\nThere are alternatives, but you must check on how they make money (which is fine, as the pages are hosted for free, as long as it's not TOO much ads...): \n\n- Lycos (excellent servers, very fast, reliable for html pages, video, images, etc)\n- Tripod (beware, I think there's a lot of ads there too)\n\nSo now, if I wanted a free host, I think I'd go for Lycos...\n\nGood luck!
