Ever wanted to have your own web site?

You can, and in many ways, free! Listed below are several of the many ways you can get a web site for yourself, some are free and some cost monthly hosting fees and domain name yearly fees. But either way, you can get noticed by posting info about your talents, show what you have to say about any given subject or sell products or services. Here are a few basic points to consider when thinking of getting a web site for you or your company:

1. The first thing is to identify the need for a web site; do you have something to share? Does your company need to get sales exposure?

2. Do you mind seeing advertisements on your site or do you want your content exclusively?

3. How much time do you have to dedicate to designing it and updating content yourself? Or would you rather pay someone to design it for you, then just pay monthly for updates, etc.

4. If you are looking for a good bit of traffic, learn about SEO tactics and other useful traffic getting advice and/or software.

I will just touch the surface of some of these topics, but if you are serious about getting a top rated site up and running, I would suggest taking the time to research as many avenues you can for design, hosting and other elements that impact your site. Either way you go, I wish you great luck in your web site building ventures.

Free web sites

A few of the many out there.

Get a free siteOne way to get a web site, usually fast, is a free one. This means exactly that, it's free to sign up, they host it and get to show their ads because you aren't paying anything. And the domain name usually has their name and yours also, called a sub-domain, for instance http://freesitecompany.com/yourname or another one might read http://yourname.freesiteco.com. Either way or others out there are hosted by them, so their name will appear in there somewhere, and your chosen name will just be added in at some part. Listed below are some of the many free web site companies out there, you will want to do your own searches to find more if you are looking to get into a specific niche for instance.

Global: Click here

Bravenet: Click here

Netfirms: Click here

Yola: Click here

Webs: Click here

Google sites: Click here

Beep: Click here

Weebly: Click here

There are many more out there, just do a search with keywords like: free web sites, free sites with free hosting, etc. Just make sure to read the terms of service or scan their pricing page to make sure they have a free offering, some say free and are actually free to try, then pay if you want to keep using it. You don't want to take time to design and write content on a site that ends up costing you to keep using it.

Standard Web Hosting

A few sites here

Web sitesHere are a few of the many sites that offer web hosting and other web site services. Make sure you read the terms and look at their pricing plans, these spell out a lot of what they do and don't do, and for what price of each. For instance, you want a basic site with a basic look and light amount of visitors, you would use an inexpensive service and low cost hosting for this. But make sure they have a simple web page builder at low or no cost included or you could be stuck trying to build it yourself and learning to upload it to your domain to be seen.

If you want a lot of traffic, sell many products, you will need to pay for more throughput (amount of traffic usage) and find a service with the well use of design, payment services, database usage for product inventories, etc. These are just a few examples of what you can do with hosting sites, but remember that you first will have to pick a domain and purchase it through the hosting company or a domain selling company. Below are a few examples of paid web site hosting companies:

HostGator: Click here

GoDaddy: Click here

Global Domains: Click here

LunarPages: Click here

IX Webhosting: Click here

FatCow: Click here

Just Host: Click here

This is just a small list of hosting companies to choose from, there are all sorts of these. Just beware, a lot of folks have gotten into the business of hosting and offer cheap prices, but you can get what you pay for! They might be operating their company in a garage with only a few servers, you want to make sure they are reputable and have great reviews by many customers before choosing one.

Good luck in your hosting and web site services ventures.
