If you want to set up your own home based internet business you need to have your own website. Today I'll discuss with you how you can set up your very own low cost website. Setting up a low cost website can seem like a daunting task, especially if you are a newbie and a retiree like me and have just gotten familiar with the internet. While it is definitely a bit more complicated than entering data into a word file, it can be easily mastered with a little bit of application.First of all you'll have to give your home based business a name. The name has to have the ability to interest and attract people to your website. Not all the names you think of will be available, especially not with a.com, so think of several options.

Once your web site is ready it will need to be hosted. Hosting is simply putting up your website on a computer from where it can be accessed by people around the world. Hosting prices vary from $10 a month to much more. In this case along with low costs, look for a hosting service that offers you 95% uptime and has live customer support around the clock. If you are a newbie it makes sense to look for packages from hosting services which include domain name registration, email service, hard disk space and reasonable monthly data transfer. These will work out to be economical and low cost. Some hosting service will offer website design service as a part of this package too.
