I use godaddy.com for my domain hosting. It's about $9 a year for the name. If you want a professional sounding name, it will cost you money, but a domain hosting service is the way to go. As for my actual site (http://www.corbitt-family.com), I use blogging software called Movable Type. Even though, it's mainly used for blogs, you can customize it for other things. Now, I host my site on my own PC, but since you will probably want yours to not crash as much as mine does (damn you BellSouth!), you will have to pay for hosting as well. Personally, I don't care, because it's only my family and friends going to my site anyway. I'm not sure what godaddy's rates are, but you can probably find some decent priced ones on the web. You can also use something like Adobe Premier or MS FrontPage to design your site and just upload it to a hosting site. I have never used either of those, however, so I don't know how difficult they are.
OpTard might be able to help you out more, since he has his own commercial site also.
I've used Adobe Premier in the past and its simple enough. Way back in the day I used a similar program from Claris that was really such easy point, drag, and click stuff that you'd have to be an idiot not to get it. Dreamworks is around but that's a bit more advanced.
Or you could just learn HTML since its a pretty straight forward coding system that I learned when I was a teen. And its pretty much identical to the BB code used on these boards but with <>'s instead of []'s. A simple page is easy as hell to make if you go find some quick tutorial on the web.
Or don't do either. If you can't find an image you like at either than don't force it. Just give me something you like and which will look good on the board.

Honestly Ziggy has done better work.
I used to work for an ISP so I may be able to get your site on there really cheap / free. I'll check for ya.
There are other ways to make web pages as well. It really depends on what services / info you want to have on the page.
It would amuse me if next year Byrne did a women's fed or Texas fed. I'd just like to see how he tries to make it a dark, demonic, ECW homage led by James Mitchell or Raven. -- Lucky, 2009
see. i told you byrne was the way to go here. like i said, he's a big dork. -- Ziggy, 2009
You can use Blogger, which is easy to use and has a lot of clean templates. It's not flashy and you can't do a ton, but if you're going to be text-and-link based it can work out. You don't even have to have ads, and you can run your domain right through it without ever displaying the word "blogspot."

See, that third guy just doesn't know how to do things. The first two posts are from "Cheap wow gold" but the third is from "wow gold." Why the hell should I buy from that dude, when he's giving away in his name that his prices are higher?

This thread is over 2 years dead, Byrne. Maybe its not a wonder how you have so many posts.
I was honestly surprised to find that I'd started this thread. I have no recollection of it....
Beer glorious Beer!
