Starting a website - Nubblies.net Forums

ninjaface · 06-05-2011, 02:15 AM

I am drunk, but I am still seriously wanting to start a website. I need to know the bare minimum amount of money I need to get a website. I can do most of html or whatever, but I need some basic info. Mr. Blonde, I'm looking at you. Or anyone else that knows anything.

This website has a lot of good information.

Hosting a web site is cheap. You should probably know xhtml, css and javascript if you plan on making it yourself.

Yahoo is about 10 bucks per month. There's tools, like site builder that are free, you can use to build it fairly quickly. It's cheap and doesn't require much skills.

If you want a real domain, it will cost $8/year for it + ~$5/month for hosting (maybe cheaper).

If you don't care about the domain, you can do it all for free.

And you don't need to know dick about coding unless you want to customize the shit out of it + make it radically different. Just install Wordpress (or, for the free option, go to wordpress.com and make an account) and go from there. If you go the free route, your URL will be horserapist.wordpress.com (assuming your website is about raping horses and you wish to aptly title it).

^^ this basically.

Also, I wholly recommend buying a domain. It's < $10 a year. That's a nominal investment to build a real site and not some mycrappyblog.someothersite.com URL. Invest in yourself and your content. A $10/year domain is nothing. And use WordPress. Fuck Joomla or anything else.

Seems like pretty solid advice so far. I'm going to get a domain for sure. And WordPress seems like the way to go. I'll hopefully have the site up and running by next weekend.

I would go to Geocities.com. They are free websites. I used to run my fantasy wrestling site there. It was solid.
