my own website


Question Posted Saturday July 29 2006, 5:16 pm

I was wondering how I could have my own website. I don't mean something like xanga or myspace, but something real...for example, if my name was sara, I would make the URL www.saraswebsite.com (example). It may be too complicated, but if anyone knows how I would really like some advice. Thanks!

First, you'll need a domain, which is the site address. www.someaddressyoulike.com, if it's taken, you'll have to choose another. Try www.godaddy.com for registering a domain name, this is usually about $10 a year.

Then you'll need hosting, this is the expensive part, usually. You could use free hosting such as what's offered by the sites mentioned by the answerers before me, i'd recommend awardspace.com. It'll do it without ads. You can register a domain, and forward from that domain to your awardspace domain so you don't have to say "my site is blahblah.awardspace.com replacing awardspace.com with your free hosting service of choice.

I think [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) is the best website builder you will come upon, without purchasing a program and paying a monthly fee.


There is also [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) , [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)


And all four of those websites offer a personalized URL. (=
