[quote:Sigma:MV8zODk3NzFfNjE2NTkyNl9CMEQ0MDczNw==] [quote:Anonymous Coward 230948] Disturbed is currently building sites for practice, sharpening his skills. Unfortunately, I don't think he will be online before tomorrow morning. I will send him this link though. Sergio knows all, but we have the poor guy swamped with work, I hate adding to his workload. Thank you Sigma! I need to get it up, but am getting pretty intimidated. Actually, I'm more worried about choosing the wrong host or package. The generic template sites couldn't be that difficult to follow, but then again, it would be worth the extra $ to have someone do it for me that would do it right the first time and make it look nice. [/quote] You're welcome. He has built 3 sites so far, with more coming. Most are templates I believe, but he has learned the code to customize them. He pretty much does it all. Here is his first one http://marcozz.com/portal.php You can look around. I'm sure he'll be here tomorrow morning. [/quote]

I need to register a domain name for my company and build a website (have it built). Here are some general questions I have:
1) What is the best domain register website to go through without over paying or being taken advantage of my limited knowledge in this area?
2) I need a minimal website built (logo & contact info) until I can pay for a professional site to be built. What is the best company for registering & site building service without over paying?
3) What is "web hosting"? All I need is a generic "under construction" type of site built, so when I purchase a domain name through a company, are they hosting my website? Or when it says "web hosting package" does that mean that I could be a web host? (which I don't need)
4) Once I buy the domain name and have the website built, can I hire someone else to custom build my website through the company that I bought the domain name from...or does it have to be moved to another company?
Please excuse my total lack of knowledge in this area, and NO techy jargon;) Thanks in advance for everyone's help!
