General questions about starting my web page.?

Question

Basiaclly I'm wanting start my own web page (business) and just need to know how to get started.

I know I need to get a domain name. Where?

Can I pay for a doamin name with Pay pal? I don't have a credit card.

I have lots of web space at Comcast (My ISP). Can I use that or do I need to use something else?

What's the easiest program to use to build a page with?

I would like it to look similar to this ----> http://www.dvdavenue.tv/themes/cartoon.html

Nothing major, probably just that main page(to start off with) and not all the multiple pages until probably later after I know what I'm doing.

And with the ability for the person to buy items using credit card or pay pal.

Is there something special you have to have to be able to do that?

If someone could just steer me in the right direction then I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

I want the domain to be www.thesitename.com and not some generic www.comcast.net/thesitename

I will be selling DVDs

What kind of business? Will you be selling products? How many? Will you be taking payments on the web? You can get a domain name for about 2 or 3 dollars on Yahoo. http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/ You can also get a cheap web-site on Yahoo. You will need to pay for hosting. If you except credit cards you'll need to sign up with a company such as First Data. Be careful when signing up. The terms vary. http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/?p=PASSPORT

Answer 3

Go get your domain name through http://www.godaddy.com they are inexpensive and good. You can pay with PayPal with GoDaddy.

You can use Comcast for your host, but, you may want to seek other alternatives that are more stable and have more uptime like:

http://www.mediatemple.net - Media Temple
http://www.eleven2.com - Eleven2 (my host, excellent host indeed)
http://www.dreamhost.com - Dreamhost

Easiest program to build a page with is Dreamweaver if you're using a WYSIWYG. If you know how to code, get EditPlus http://www.editplus.com

You will need to have a merchant account and payment gateway so people can buy items with a credit card, or a shopping cart software like Zen Cart or osCommerce.

That's about it, email me if you have any other questions. [e-mail]

You shouldn't use the free webpage sites. I'd recommend buying a cheap one.

They recommend web page hosting companies and usually offer a lower price.

Good luck.
