i wanna create my own website that requires user name and PW to get in... how can i do this for free?

Well, you can either learn PHP and how servers work, but that would probably be too much work and effort for you.

Creating a website is very easy on www.webs.com

You can also use many readymade applications, which will help you build an interesting website.

The website will be in the username.webs.com format

It requires Username and PW to edit

This is absolutely free, but for VERY advanced features, payment is required

With small amount of pay, you can create pages which require a PW to view

Creating a user registration and log-in requires the use of a server-side script written in PHP, ASP or some other language in that area. In order to build a client base, you will have to know how to setup an RDBMS like MySQL and use SQL statements in your PHP code to run queries against the database. The hard part of all of this is getting your script SECURE!

There are many log-in systems that you can download if you just google it, but I wouldn't trust the security on many of those and they also limit what you can do with your site.

Learn to program; that is your best option. Or hire someone.

Knowing PHP is the best way. Of course, PHP is going to require a website host that has access to MYSQL or another database. If you have the hosting server but not the PHP knowledge you could probably try something like http://www.phpbb.com/ (that's pretty much a forum you download then upload to the server.. its already written). I don't know where to find any of these though because I write my own PHP. Hope this helps >.<

Also, if it is a forum you're trying to make, or one will suit your needs, you could check this out:
