Where can I go to purchase my own website name and about how much does it cost?

Question

I also need help from a lot of people who know what they're doing. I want to start a website either about somewhere younger disabled people can come to and share their experiences and stories and pictures or I'll want to start a website for local people to chat with each other and tell what they'd like to do around town. Because in this town there's not very much to do and not believe that if it is a very good website it would get lots of attention. I just need help figuring out which one would be the best and also how can I get people to pay for ads on the website and I also need to know about how much money it would take to start up a website. I would do not have much money but something like this would be great for me because I am a quadriplegic and I'm all my computer from 10 to 12 hours a day. If you want to help me or maybe even be a partner with me you can post here or e-mail me at [e-mail]

Answer 1

If you are concerned about cost, you can use a sub-domain which is something like www.yourname.netfirms.com or www.yourname.bravenet.com. Both netfirms.com and Bravenet.com offer free and low cost hosting, with domain name purchasing as well.
Bravenet is great for the beginner who doesn't know much about design but you want a site, with add ons that integrate well.

Answer 2

There are lots of places where you can obtain a domain.

www.yahoo.com
www.godaddy.com
www.networksolutions.com
