There are so many website and free websites out there I don't know where to start. Is there a host that is better than the others? Is there a good place to start.

Be very careful of the cheapo sites that offer you templates and inexpensive monthly hosting. I've heard (and experienced) horror stories from some. A good way to avoid hassles is to buy your own domain name. Don't let an outside company buy your domain name for you.

Check out my site below for a recommendation on website builder/host that has an excellent reputation and is reasonably priced.

It just depends on your criteria and requirements. If it is a simple site, you can get by with a really cheap host, if it is an ecommerce, you will need to spend more money. However, this is one where you can have unlimited storage and unlimited transfer from only $4.95 http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3573499-8242916

Good luck!

Don't even consider the free websites...they are not respected at all and it would destroy your credibility as a business.

I would recommend getting a host...here is the 2009 Web Hosting Reviews...http://www.thetop10bestwebhosting.com/ and http://www.thetop10bestwebhosting.com/

I use IX Hosting (#6 and #9 respectively)and have been for 2 years. They are pretty good. When you open an account you get a free domain name, so register what you want from them.

Then I would look for a web designer to build you a simple web site to start. I am kind of a DIY-person, so I installed Joomla and built my own simple & clean website to start.

Thanks eputkonen for posting the actual webhosting reviews. Very helpful. I was looking for info regarding a reliable host and this helps.

FWIW, Justhost.com is currently rated at the top of the list and is running a special for $3.95 per month. Is anyone else using this company, and if so, what has been your experience?

Thanks,

Jaye2L

I use lunarpages.com myself, they have affordable solutions.....

If your website is informational, go for one of the free websites....I've seen quite a few that are popular.

You may want to check out Doteasy, I've used them for different sites of mine for years. They have a package where you pay 35.00 to transfer your domain then you get hosting for life free. That includes 10 web based email accounts under your domain as well.
