Mishra Your Answer: First thing you must note down that if you want your website to be free of cost for you cant have your own domain name i.e. it cant be
www.yourname.com etc for free.
However , it can be free if you compramise with subdomain like
yourname.serviceprovider.com or www.serviceprovider.com/yourna... etc
but you can have free webspace.
then follow these steps
1. Go to one of the free web hosting website(listed below)
go and search the best web web hosting on
http://www.freewebspace.net
or go directly to the one selected by me
http://www.awardspace.com
2. Register for free and remember your password.
3. Create your home page on your PC using html(if you dont know html you can create it using FRONTPAGE which is provided by Microsoft in windows 2000 or you can download a html editor from net also).
4. Save this page as index.htm
5. Now login in your free webhosting account and go to file manager(most of the webhosting websites have file manager)
6. Upload your "index.htm" page at top level without renaming
7. if you want more than one pages in your website then create those pages with your html editor(FrontPage)with their different names and provide links in your homepage(index.htm) targetting each of those page. (in target dont type the web address , just type the name of the target with extension like help.htm)
8. Upload those other pages also at same level.
9. Pictures can also be provided by same method(hyperlink the picture in page and upload it in file manager at same level)
10. Need your website to be more graphical ? try hese sites
http://www.xara.com/downloads
http://www.coffeecup.com
11. Need any more assistance? i am always there for you.

Yes. If you want www.yourname.com you need to pay for the domain name. but ur ok with yourname.somecompany.com
Then there are many sites which offer such domain name and webspace.
You just need some HTML Basics and Some website basics to get running.
Search Google.com for free domain name and u would start.
With some online time you can be up and running with ur own site in 1-2 days.

Contrary to what everyone is telling you here...you can have a free website with free domain name and hosting without the extensions ........ geocities.com/your site for example.
Office Live Basics from microsoft is offering this.The only thing you need to apply for this free service is a valid credit card for the the following reasons.....
Even though Office Live Basics is a free service and Office Live Collaboration is free during its beta period, we still require a credit card in order to validate that every customer is a legitimate entity. When you sign up for a Microsoft Office Live account, Microsoft performs a $1 authorization check on your credit card to verify that the card information you are using is valid and up to date. A temporary $1 charge may appear on your online credit card statement for a short period, but will not appear on your final billing statement for that period.
Requiring a valid credit card is also intended to decrease the likelihood that malicious users will sign up. Web-site scams, such as phishing or spamming, often use fictitious Web sites to deceive consumers into disclosing credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other sensitive information. We limit the number of offers to one per credit card number as added protection against malicious users signing up for our service.
We also require a credit card to facilitate payment of any additional services you might sign up for (for example, the purchase of additional domain names or extra storage space) as well as at the conclusion of the Office Live Collaboration Beta, when beta customers will be asked if they would like to continue using our services on a paid, monthly subscription basis. With your explicit permission, we can establish monthly billing using your credit card information. You will be able to continue using our services without interruption and without having to submit additional account information.
Hope that helps you.

No you can't get it for free. You'll have to secure a domain name, then create your website using your domain name that you paid for. It isn't free, but, nowadays it's very cheap that almost any American can afford it, even if you earn minimum wages.

You might want to start with your own blog where it is free to do and you can learn about marketing, html, promotion etc. Websites are good but you really need some knowledge to go about starting one and making it successful.
