Buy Web Hosting

There are so many web hosting companies online, it can be confusing to know which one to choose. These are two I recommend because I know lots of people who have used them. They are reliable, inexpensive and easy to use.

Use a Hosted Web Site Package

There are a variety of places where you can get free template based websites. Some offer a paid upgrade so you can use them with shopping carts for e-commerce and for a business. The free versions are not a good idea for any kind of business where you plan to make any real money.

Google Sites
Free and easy to use template based websites from Google. Great for simple casual websites. Not recommended for e-commerce or business websites.
Weebly
Free templated website system. You have to pay in order to use your own domain name and for most advanced options including e-commerce.
Wix
A great easy to use web template system. There are free versions but you cannot use your own domain name or e-commerce with the free version.

Create your own website

NVU Software Program
Download this free open-source web design program and create your own web site by hand. Similar to Dreamweaver, you will need to buy web hosting if you use this program.
Wordpress
The best choice for most websites in my opinion. Originally a blogging platform there are lots of plugins, themes and other tools available to turn wordpress into a website, or a blog and website combo. E-commerce works great with wordpress as well.

Register a Domain Name

Before you can create a website online you need to purchase a domain name. It nearly all cases it needs to be a .com You pay a fee yearly for each one. It is not recommended that you buy hosting from these companies. It is much better to buy your web hosting separately.
