If you are a true novice and don't want to spend much time learning how to make a site, I would suggest the current super-popular MySpace. You can quickly get your information up for all your friends to see.\n\nIf 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. 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

It works, but you need to create a "content rich" site to drive traffic to and then they have to click on the Adsense ads on your site.\n\nChoose keywords that pay the highest cost-per-click.\n\nhttp://adsense.sitesell.com/java.html

No that is about the standard price a firm would charge for an ecommerce site. That is because they usually have a team working on it and each member of the team is getting like 25-35 US an hour. It also depends what kind of content is on those pages. Things which are heavy programming required (custom shopping carts, credit card processing, logins etc) do take a bit of time.\n\nIf you have a site that is only like 10 pages or less (which most ecommerce sites are NOT) then you could go with a single developer, but ecommerce sites do run a bit of cash because it is dealing with business logic, transactions, and critical information. For example if you lose data, you could lose a sale of thousands of dollars. \n\nIn short, I would say they are not certainly hosing you, but you might shop around and shave a thousand or two off that price. Again, it depends on what your site will do in those areas, but that is standard price for a firm.

Hi,\n\nFirstly, for a website, you need a url, an online storage space and html skills (not mandatory though).\n\nIf you are looking for a professional website for a company/firm or for yourself, you might want to reserve a domain name (ex. yourname.com or yourcompany.com etc. subject to availability). You might search for the availabilty of domain name in any of the leading webstes (you may run a search query).\nHowever, there is a cost factor involved. Companies charge you on a per-annual basis. (ex. some dollars per year).\nAlso you need an online storage, there are companies, which give wide ranging options for online hosting (which is the actual term). they give options of Windows-NT/Linux, FTP accounts, some e-mail accounts etc. Some have 24-7 support etc. You may do a comparision of features as per your requirement/budget and then opt for one. Infact the same company may also provide for your domain name too.\n\nNow coming to a non official or personal webpage. Many people have this kind for their personal website (like I have at geocities: http://geocities.com/rao_sameer)\nWe dont have to pay anything and generally we get a limited space (which, I think is enough for most websites) and with some limitations (No FTP uploading, pages with advertisement, as I said, limited space and non hosting of some file types like swf, not allowing third party hosting or image lodaing etc. etc.) But most of personal websites dont mind losing out for such things for s free website. But these companies however give you these previliges for a small fee though.\nYou may register at geocities.com or many of those websites which provide online storage and hosting.\nWell, there are also companies, which provide smaller domain names. (Like for example, I feel it cumbersome, when I need to give my url to somebody to visit, so I opt for a URL redirectoring service, which gives a shorter version for my lengthy url). You may run a search query on a search engine and see many websites and chose according to your liking. They come free, but with some limitations like host's Advertisement etc. Example (I redirected my lengthy url for a smaller one www.sameer.net.ms)\nThese are some of the options.\nBut there are some more options. If you would like your website to be a blog too, then better create a blog and let be your website too. You may sign up for a blog account at any of these websites. (Yahoo 360 degrees, www.blogger.com, www.spaces.msn.com etc., I recommend you search the web before signing up.)\n\nAlso, there there are many many websites, which help you in improving your website. Many tools and online help resources are there.\n\nAlthough knowledge of basic HTML would help, but there are many who have websites and dont know HTML. (learning HTML is very easy)\n\nHope this helps.

2 cents to $1 million (or more)\n\nIf you use their search based engine, pay per click system for little ads around the sides then it start from 2 cents / click to your website. You are only charged for clicks you recieve.\n\nIf your budget is more than $3,000 then you have to call them and setup different ad routine and strategies you want.

I try different ones and even Godaddy.com but I found a better one for me because I don't know nothing about web designing or HTML programming. Just go to Cogni360host.co.nr they offer a lot more for a good price. The basic package which is $5.95/month have way more than the premium packages form other companies.\n\nThey also give you a free domain name or url, free web templates, and a free online web site builder that is really easy to use... No programming necesary.\n\nJust take a look at their web site...\n\nHope you the best man.

$500 is a good figure to start with.  Depending on the content and amount of work involved, you may want to go up or down on that figure.  Since you are new at this, you may have to compromise a bit on the price in order to get the business and to have this site added to your portfolio of web projects.

The options for setting up a website are as varied as the options for choosing a car. Choose what you think your needs are from the left-hand column and follow the instructions in that row. \n\nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI'm a student and need to be able to put my class projects on a website. \n\nI just want to set up a personal site with a few photos and some generic information. \n\nI'm campaigning for public office and don't want to spend any money on the Internet, but someone told me I need a website. \n\nThere's no way I'm going to spend anything on building a website, but I'm sure I need one.  Free websites are available everywhere. You'll need to spend at least half an hour to set up what you want, but you don't need any special skills. Your only investment is time.  Go to Geocities or Angelfire and follow their very simple step-by-step instructions for setting up a website. If you can follow directions, you can put up a website with one of these services. There are plenty of others available, but these two are the best-known. \n\nWhen you're done, be sure to add the address of your website to the signature line on your e-mail. If you have business stationery or other printed literature, put it there as well. It's just about the only way anyone will find your site. \n\nIf you know anyone with a website, ask them nicely if they would mind giving you a link. Unless some other site links to yours, the search engines will never find it. \n\nExpect to grow annoyed with the ads on your site. Free web hosts use pop-up ads, pop-under ads, and banners built-in to your pages in order to pay for their services. If you're not bothered, don't worry about them. Most users eventually grow tired of them.  Don't expect a lot of visitors. Your address will be long and hard to remember, so unless someone is really intent on finding your site, not many folks will visit. \n\nDon't expect to be taken very seriously. If you aren't willing to put any money into your site, don't expect visitors to think you're an authority. \n\nDon't get caught up in design. There's not much you can do to make your free site look great. Just put the basic information up and see whether it does the trick for you. Crazy backgrounds, wild color schemes, lots of pictures, and sounds that play whenever people visit your site will only serve to irritate. Keep it simple. \n\nDon't forget to add content. Since your page probably doesn't look very special, be sure to add things to it often enough that it serves a real purpose. \n\nDon't put your e-mail address on the page. Anywhere. If you do, you'll get so much spam you'll never forgive yourself.  \nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI have a lot to say, and I want to blog.  As little as nothing. Some fees may apply, especially as you become more sophisticated. Expect it to become a regular consumer of your time.  Go to Blogger or TypePad or LiveJournal and follow their instructions. \n\nHave something interesting to say, and often. Keep your site fresh. Political campaigns and businesses are starting to realize the power of fresh information posted to people who actively want to follow what's happening directly from the source. \n\nYou may eventually decide to go solo and run your personal site without someone else's software or hosting. When that time comes, use PairNIC to register your domain and Pair Networks to host your site. Their prices are excellent and so is their service.  Don't expect it to be easy. Well-done blogs often absorb lots of their authors' time. \n\nDon't post so often that you create unreasonable expectations. Sandbag a little until you're comfortable with the amount of time you dedicate to your blog. \n\nDon't divulge personal secrets, proprietary information, or national secrets. Serio

There are many ways to get a website. You could get one for free using sites like geocities ( http://www.geocities.com/ ) or you could actually register a domain name and pay for a host. The amount you pay for the domain and the host will vary; you get what you pay for. You could check out Go Daddy ( http://www.godaddy.com/ ) for domain registration.\n\nOnce you have the website it is free to join affiliate programs, but some may have certain limitations such as:\n- You must live in the US\n- You can't sign up for similar affiliate programs\n- You can't use free website services

Factor in the following:\n\n1) Time it will take for you to listen to your clients and making sure they get exactly what they want.\n2) Equipment.\n3) Electricity (seriously)\n4) Internet Bill.\n5) Third Party Assistance. \n6) Expenses you have to pay to get their site up and running. Including the domain name, fonts, stock images, and scripts (if you have to purchase them) and scanning in images.\n\nOnce you written all this down, then give them a number that makes sense. If you are doing a simple web design job, keep it below $400. The more complex the job and longer it takes, the more expensive it will be. If you add more people to get it done, then you'll have to factor in payment for them as well.\n\nFinally, make sure it's a livable amount. Too low and you'll be fighting for scraps. Also, give a firm answer. Be flexible and don't show fear. The moment you show fear, you'll lose or they might try to low ball you. \n\nHopefully, that will help you out.

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 !!

Few websites are free. If that's what the website wants, you have no choice except to find another avenue to help you. Sorry.
