A lot of the ISPs give you free tools to do what you want . . . not sure if they are any good though?
I use Adobe GoLive cos i have it at work.
Micro$oft's Front Page is okay for beginners and I guess you should be able to pick a copy up pretty cheap!

further to this . . . if you dont have a domain name yet . . .

www.simply.com - they have website names from around Ã,£6 ish.

I have purchased several domain names through this including the one for work!

Drew has made a good point there. You should first check to see if you have any webspace with the people who supply your internet. Most of them give you some personal space and some sort of online control panel to upload with.

If you wanted to create a proper website then it just comes down to how much money you want to spend, for instance, this forum is hosted by Petahosting.com who give 800mb of webspace, loads of email addresses, 30gb a month of transfer, red hat linux, and 5 sql databases, 25 ftp accounts, 10 parked domains etc.. Overkill really and it costs about Ã,£6 a month ($10). This isn't cheap but the host is fast, secure and reliable. The last thing I wanted here was a forum that was down most of the time.

Look for a provider that gives you ftp access and get something like smartftp (free) to transfer your files. If you buy a domain name you will need to change the dns to point at your webspace. Some companies give you the whole service but most have the sting in their tail that you don't actually own the domain name, they do.

.biz, .net, .me.uk etc are also much cheaper to own than .com or .co.uk

Another thing you'll need is a credit card to buy it.

If you don't have this then you could use something free like Tripod or one of the zillions of freewebs providers out there.

For my web sites I use https://www.one.com/ as it has a good reliability, ease of use, good support and....is really affordable.

For the rest....nothing is better than real code

Yes I must admit that I was well impressed when I found out the features that you have with your host, especially as it gives you the option to upgrade too. I don't have that with Petahosting so once we've used up our 800mb I'll need to move to a new server

It will happen. We're up to 125mb already.

Never heard about one.com before - but it sounds amazing. Do you know if they also
offer some webpackages like root- or virtual servers (couldnt find anythhing about it on their
page).

So far I am very happy with http://www.all-inkl.com - but maybe I should give one.com a try.

Thanks for the link !
