If you can not find an open domain name you want to register from a domain registration company you can buy an already registered domain name. The domain name marketplace can be compared to commercial real estate; you can buy & sell domain names too.
People who have purchased domain names may offer them for sale. We have listed popular websites that offer a marketplace for buyers & sellers of domain names below:
*** I would start on eBay, dig deep, be creative, buy a unique domain for under $50.

Step 4 - Sign up with a Reliable Hosting Company
A good Internet Business Website Hosting offers services such as adequate disk space on the host server for the purpose of storing data, 24/7 access to the client's account, an appropriate bandwidth for data relocation and e-mail services including mail forwarding.
Don't waste time searching for the best host, just start with GoDaddy ($10 a month) and then once you out grow it move to HostGator. We have used these two companiesfor over 300 clients.
*** I would also recommend RackSpace for larger projects, haven't used them much but hear good things.

Install Website Software
Step 5 - A budget under $1,000 requires you to find pre-developed sotfware
There are 1,000's of software development companies that sell pre-developed software. If you want to build a website similar to Amazon, eBay, Myspace, YouTube, Digg, or even a professional Corporate Website Design you can buy software that will help you accomplish your goal.
I have started building a directory that reviews pre-developed software applications. This is 8 years of experience USING & TESTING these applications talking:
Content Management Software
Dating Software
eCommerce Software
Social Networking Software
Video Sharing Software
*** NOTE Pre-Developed software is a great cheap solution to starting an internet business. But remember that 1,000's of people may be buying the same software...you must make your site unique or use the software as a "stepping stone" into bigger and better.
