whats the easiest and cheapest way to set up a web site?

Answer 1

If you are a true novice and don't want to spend much time learning how to make a site, I would suggest the current super-popular MySpace. You can quickly get your information up for all your friends to see.

If you are interested in something more, but still fairly simple try GeoCities or Yahoo.

If you are willing to learn HTML I would suggest ATSPACE.COM. You can create a website for FREE up to 50MBs in size. I have two websites through them and the uptime is great. NO ADS, NO BANNERS. You'll need an ftp program to upload your stuff. There's a good free one for personal use called "FTP Explorer". Of course you'll either need to learn HTML or use one of the WYSIWYG programs like FrontPage or DreamWeaver to actually design your site. e-mail me if you need some help...

If you want your own domain and have it hosted, I suggest ReadyHosting. You get 1GB of space unlimted e-mail accounts, FTP access and domain name registration all for $99 a year.

Web hosting site (FREE):
http://www.atspace.com
Web hosting site (COST):
http://www.readyhosting.com
FTP Explorer site:
http://www.ftpx.com

A couple of my websites:
Pioneer Baseball Website (ReadyHosting - Cost)
http://www.pioneerbaseball.org
My Son's Travel Team's Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)
http://tricountytitans.atspace
Family Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)
http://tim8w.atspace.com

Answer 2

If you want to do it yourself then I would suggest learning HTML & CSS, which can seem daunting at first but are easy once you get into them. w3c provides plenty of information on how to do this

For a 'no experience' neccessary approach you might look at some hosted solutions such as

vox (blog and media hosting)
or google pages (general page creation)
Both are free and easy to setup/use

You could also use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor such as dreamweaver to generate the page code for you and then get your own webhosting/domain (around £10 a month for a decent shared host)

If you prefer to have someone else do it then it depends upon your budget.
To do it cheaply you could look for a freelancer or for a large business project (with a budget to match) then try a design firm/studio.

Also IMHO Mr Site is one of the worst things to ever happen to web design. Their templates are a mess and I would avoid them like the plague! I have never seen a decent Mr Site site (sorry to the previous answerer!)

Answer 3

Well, that's a good question. However, it depends on how you define cheap.

If you want something free then this site is a good start while you can use FTP, tutorial and Page Builder, Templates are included. 100% free with 100 MB as http://you.zomi.net or www.you.zomi.net
You can also host your domain for free here.
If you own a domain name then you just set up your name server and your site is totally free as www.yoursite.com with 100 MB space with other free web stuff.

Zomi Web Host:

Its a good and short URL if you want the free sub domain.
You can sign up here-
http://www.zomi.net

If you want something with reliable and cheap service with worldclass web stuff including Cpanel then here is a good one to start with.

www.cybergates.biz
Custom package for small website, small business is available as low as $ 4/ Month or even less.
It includes Cpanel (probably the best web site manager according to my experience for both FTP and browser upload).
