It's a pretty big step, making your own website. I'm just going to copy and paste something I typed up to someone else:
Firstly, you'll need to rent server space (the place that hosts your website). Then you'll need a domain address that'll point web-browsers to that site (eg: www.yahoo.com). Then you'll need an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) programme to get your files from your computer to your server space. There are free FTP programmes on the internet.
To actually build a site, you'll need to know HTML coding and/or get a programme like Dreamweaver which will help you build the site. If you've got a good grasp of HTML, you can actually do all the coding in Notepad, and you won't need an HTML editor, like Dreamweaver.
There are lots of sites that'll teach you HTML. I learnt from Web Monkey:
http://www.webmonkey.com/webmonkey/authoring/html_basics/
You might not be able to produce the most wonderful website in the world, but it'll give you a starting point. You'll learn a lot from them. And HTML is one of those things that you can teach yourself.
On top of that, you might have to learn some Javascript or Java coding, some Dynatmic HTML (including Cascading Style Sheets) and maybe some graphics programmes to make buttons and nagivational options.
Or you could just learn Flash and publish all your sites in pure Flash instead of in HTML.
Good luck and have fun! It's challenging and frustrating at times, but if you want to learn, you will!

I am a new web designer and monthly I give out two free designs for new dot com sites. Visit my site here: www.passionforgraphics.com then email me and let me know what types of things you want on your site and I will see if it fits the profile I need for a free site design. In the meantime you have to purchase your .com site and pay a monthly premium. The best server if you ask me is Yahoo. I have a promotional link on my main page where you can save money off your monthly premium. Other wise you will have to create a free web page with a site like geocities. If you need help....email me.

Well, to get a .com website, you need to purchase the Domain name through a Domain provider. Then you need to either host a server or rent one.
I think what you would like better is to check out something like http://www.Tripod.com or http://geocities.yahoo.com
They provide a free website for you and have very easy things to help you build a website if you don't know how. Plus, it's free!

No worries anymore when it comes to building a fully functional, up and running website for FREE! along with free domain name too!
Microsoft (free domain and hosting for life) ,
Google (Googlepages, Blogger) ,
Yahoo (Geocities),
Freewebs are some of the companies offering free websites with design tools .
check my profile for a list of websites , all the best :)

first of all you have to buy a domain
yahoo.com is very cheap wait for it till it goes down to about 2.99
then go ahead and signup and you can either host it from them or simply host it with geocities they are free but they have ads on their webpage.
