How can I make a website?

    That's a really general question. There's plenty of ways to go about making a website. There are a lot of services out there that you can pay to build you a website but I would definitely advise learning how to do it yourself if you have just a little spare time on your hands. It'll save you plenty of money.

    To do that you can go to any of the sites below and purchase a domain name and a hosting service:

    godaddy.com

    justhost.com

    simplehost.com

    All of them provide pretty much the same service for the same price. If you buy upfront for 12 months you're price per month is cut in about half. A domain name is approximently $10 a year and hosting costs about $4-12 a month.

    After you've got that then it's time to design a website. HTML is the most basic way you can go about designing a website. I'm presuming you don't have any products in the Adobe suite like Photoshop or Dreamweaver so you can use your basic Notepad text editor.

    Here's a great website to go to learn website scripting. I go here for any thing I might need to relearn or verify that I've gotten it right. It goes from the most basic of HTML to very advanced programming.

    Hope this helps at all

    As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

    If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

    As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
