I mention http://www.publish247.com as a good starting point.

Hey guys, fred here with an insight on how easy it is to create your own website. i have like a dozen websites and have been doing it for 10 years, so friends are always asking me how I got started.

Truth be told, creating your own website is much easier than you think

there are really only 2 simple steps to making your own place on the web.

the first is to come up with your own domain name
a domain name will be your website address, you know that address that starts with www,
examples of domain names are youtube.com, google.com – or it can end with .net, .info etc. The key is finding a domain name that’s still available
you can see what domain names are availlable, as many are already taken.

One place that lets you search for available domain names, and even gives free suggestions, is publish247.com. I tell all my friends to start there as you can easily search for available names and then register your own for around $8/year. that comes out to around 65 cents per month. not bad for your very own name on the internet.

The key is not to delay registering your domain name, as thousands are registered daily and you don’t want someone else to register your name first.

to search for your name at publish247, type www.publish247.com into your address bar (that’s where it says youtube.com right now) – then when the website loads, either click the domains link in the upper left, or scroll down and begin your search where it says “Enter a Domain Name”

The second step is to find a website host – this is where you will build the actual website – as well as add other featuress like email addresses, a blog or even setup a shopping cart if you need one.

This may sound complicated, but it’s really not. The best hosting companies make creating a website as easy as typing in a desciption and clicking a few buttons. In fact, while your surfing for a good domain name over at Publish247.com, check out their “Website Tonight” service, this enables anyone to publish their own website, even if they are technically clueless, like many of my friends.

Plus publish247 rocks because their prices are cheap yet they have 24/7 support if you should ever need it.

That’s it! You’re on your way to beiung a website owner – your own home or business on the web – in 2 easy steps. good luck, and check back later for more web secrets to success
