What is the best way to setup a website for my business, so i can have my own domain and email?
Here's what you need:


- a website designed and "ready" (somewhat).


- a domain name picked out ("Mycompany.com") - have a couple of alternatives on standby in case your first choice is already taken.


- a place to "host" your website.





I have a website www.darrenhancock.com that costs me under CAN$30 per year... with EMAIL ADDRESSES!! Very cool.





Here's what I did:





1) I designed the website myself, using some high-end tools I have access to (Macromedia Flash, Dreamweaver, etc).





(...Please note this is typically the most expensive portion of the entire process... or the most time-consuming to do it yourself unless you're a web designer. My site was over two years in the making, with a huge learning curve, and still far from perfect.)





2) I subscribed to a FREE Webhosting site (www.freewebs.com)





** so far I have spent no $$ **





3) Next, I shopped online for an affordable solution to purchase my "Domain name" (darrenhancock.com). The best I was able to find was www.planetdomain.com (I paid $29 Canadian for TWO-YEARS, includes email "forwarding", which allows me to take any email sent to any address @darrenhancock.com and forward it to my yahoo email... COOL).





That's it. I have a free website, hosted for free, paid under $30 for use of my domain for 2 years, with free email on Yahoo.





Not bad. I hope this helps get you on your way...
