How to build your own website- More steps
To build a website, there are FOUR METHODS to choose from:
FIRST METHOD:
Get a PROFESSIONAL DESIGNER to build the site for you:
It is expensive in creation process, site maintenance and
development.
SECOND METHOD:
Designing the site with FREE WEBSITE HOSTING:
In this case, just sign in the website that offers this
service, and start building your own website.
FREE WEB HOSTING:

http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/
http://www.tripod.lycos.com/
http://www.freeservers.com
DISADVANTAGES of this method (FREE WEB HOSTING):
*Small size-Limited web page space
*Can't create interactive features (message boards, online
ordering, etc.)
*Advertisements-May have banners and/or pop ads on your homepage
*Long and hard to remember web address (instead of
yourdomain.com)
*No branded email addresses (you@yourdomain.com)
*Weak technical support-Poor help and support options
*May not be free forever
*No seriousness to the site
So it is better to choose a cheap Hosting sites with reasonable
prices, you will get a better quality and a higher credibility.
THIRD METHOD:
PROFESSIONAL WEB HOSTING:
Design the site by a web page designer program (computer
software) and use one of the hosting sites.

and manage your website, you may use one or more of them:
1.Microsoft FrontPage

FrontPage program is the famous and most important one.
