web site question

[johnson]

I know I read about this in one of the forums, but now that I want the information, I can't remember where I saw it. Where is a good place to go for web site construction and/or hosting? I don't want to lay out a lot of cash right now, and I remember that the one person was paying $9 a month for the service. Thanks for any help.

www.godaddy.com has plans from $3.95 per month. No affiliation.

Bluehost is about $9/mth for theirs (IIRC)including domain name, shopping cart features, etc. Pretty powerful load of features from what I've seen.

GoDaddy is fine, but when you search for your domain name, buy it right then. If you don't it will be gone later when you go to get it.

Angelfire is free but you need to learn html a bit and put up with advertisements and pop-ups on your site. You'll also end up with a fairly long domain name.

Tangboy, very good advice. Plan on your selection of names ahead of time, and be ready to buy right then and there. Otherwise when you come back you will find the name already registered. This is a good precaution for any domain registration service that you deal with.

Here is a place where you can get a free web site. It is somewhat limited in what it will do; but it does not require knowing any programing language and might be fun to fool around with to get a feel for what is involved. You can always get one with more capability later if you need one.

Thanks for the advice. Just moved Mom to a nursing home, so this is going on the back burner.
