A few people have asked me how to get their own websites started. It's actually rather simple. You simply have to register a domain name and choose a hosting provider. Then, usually, the hosting service offers many different options for easily creating a website. You don't have to be a web programmer genius. Simply use the tools that are provided, usually free of charge.
A great, cheap provider is iPower Hosting
. They handle your domain registration and web hosting. They also have several great options to get you started.
OH! If you want a website but maybe you don't have time to deal with it all right now, go ahead and
register your domain! You can get domain names for less than $10 a year, and it's yours - whether you put a website there or not. But you certainly don't want to wait and end up with a stupid domain name just because yours is already taken.
