How to Build a Website or Blog
Get your own Domain:
You need your own domain name. The cost is only about $10 per year, so there's no excuse not to get one.
Select a name that describes your intended website. If your website is about really great black dogs, grab a name like http://reallygreatblackdogs.com.
A good place to get your domain is http://www.godaddy.com
There are two ways to build a website.
1. Sign up with a webhost and create it yourself or use a sitemaker on the webhost.
2. Sign up with Blogger.com or Wordpress.org and let them host it remotely for you.
Webhosting:
Use one of the many excellent webhosts available.
If you're just starting out and want to be cost effective, use a free webhost like http://freehostia.com which doesn't add advertising to your website. There are limitations in webspace and bandwidth but they are very reliable and should be sufficient for you to start making money. You can also upgrade to a paid site there when your business warrants it.
If you want to use a paid webhost, such as http://justhost.com, you receive unlimited web space, bandwidth and a free domain. They also provide one click installation of programs like Wordpress, Joomla and OSCommerce. Prices start at approx. $4.95/month.
Blogging:
Remotely hosting your website on http://blogger.com or http://wordpress.com is a good option when first starting out. They are free and there are many plugins available for you to customise your blog. There is a fantastic selection of themes (designs) available and you can use any design you like. They can be setup as blogs or as static websites. Your subdomain would look something like: http://reallygreatblackdogs.blogspot.com or http://reallygreatblackdogs.wordpress.com .
