I have an idea for a business. There are numerous ways to advertise your services locally, from newspapers to yellowpages. What about your own website that explains your business and the services and products it offers? How do you go about getting your own website. For example, say I wanted to start a limo service. How could I create a website where people could go to find out about my business? I have some computer knowledge, but I don't know about these things. Can anyone explain the process to me?

The best way for anyone to do this - anyone with a limited budget, anyway - is to create a content website, based around some aspect of that business.



So perhaps your limo service website could provide lots of interesting articles about limos - the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to limos, and maybe even the people who hire the limos.



If people are looking for this info, and there aren't already thousands of websites that provide this info, AND you write your pages well, then you'll easily get people to visit your website. And as these people are interested in information about limo services, the chances are they'll be interested in using a limo service.



Do you see how this works?



Now, as with all business ventures, you have to do your market research - i.e. you have to determine whether there is enough demand for your product and not too much supply. For online businesses that's called keyword research.



And you also have to work out how to create compelling website copy so that a) visitors can find your site and b) visitors like what they read.



And you have to be able to build an effective website or know someone who can do this.



It's ALL do-able. And it's possible that *can* source all of the above from different places, maybe, or you can just do some research on a service that's called Site Build It! that's been specifically created to do ALL of the above and more, aimed at experts AND beginners alike.



Just do a search on Google, and check out the free guide below, and see if Site Build It! can deliver what you want for your new business idea - I believe it can!

A website can get anything from 1 hit per day to 400 million hits per day, but that's Google.com level! a website is used for advertising over a wide area. Say you live in England, a .co.uk domain would be ideal because it's not THAT big, like the USA. A website is also ideal if you're advertising a cyberspace product, such as software for download, web design, and e-mail service etc...



I've got a website ( http://www.andrewtaylor.eu ) that I use for communicating with my old friends here in America and back in South Africa. I also host stuff which people like me might find interesting (selected games, fish keeping etc...).



For a wide business and small business, it would be ideal as you can host a large amount of data and use it like a virtual office to let your visitors make bookings, contact you and see what you've got to offer.



Best regards,

These are the things you need to learn:



1. A hosting service where you save all your files for your website.

2. A domain name that users will type in the browser such as internet explorer. (for example: yahoo.com)

3. A professionally designed site.



Notes:

#2 needs to be paid by a yearly basis would cost about $10 or below depending on the demand for the name.

#1 is paid on a monthly or annual basis which cost you as low as Free to thousands of dollars a month

#3 Dpends on your designer might cost as low as $50 to $100,000 :)



Recommendation: It will cost alot to start your own website so better go to 'blogs' instead.. it is a special type of website

Making your own website is a dream for most young internet users and for those who dont have their credit card.



This website itsel is made free but i spent “time” you can make your free website by spending the same thing also.



First thing first..



Free web hosting



A Host will contains all files you upload and display them on the net.



Register on the free hosting here: http://ikhosting.co.cc/



This is so far the best webhost i ever knew.



Next would be a domain name.



As you notice our site url is www.yourwebsite.theirdomain.com



that is called subdomain you can get your own domain on the next tutorial.



This will be the url of your site e.g. www.yourwebsite.com



A .com Domain names aren’t realy free but there is a website offering them for free in exchange of your time.



Free .com domain: http://www.ezyrewards.com/?id=432581



But if ou want it realy free there is a site giving free .co.cc domain and this website got its domain there.



http://co.cc



But I know you want a .com more than a .co.cc so spend some time completing small offers.



Once you got a domain you should place them on proper nameservers in order to be used.

You can try Kinko's. I've never ordered any business cards online so I'm not sure which ones are trustworthy.

Instead of doing it yourself, I can give you some freelancer sites where you can post your project and people with bid for it. Eg: www.guru.com and www.findafreelancer.com. Its really good. But after you make your website you need to market it. Marketing is the key to Online business. Regards - Vasi (www.aspireglobalin.com)

www.freewebs.com is always an option, however they give you a subdomain. I would consider purchasing a domain/hosting from www.hostgator.com and installing joomla or another cms. If you need any help you can email me at shawn@xkillers.com
