I want to create a website about a certain subject (that I won’t discuss here). A small portion will be dedicated to a forum where members could chime in but the site will also contain a lot of my own writings. I am thinking of registering the name through www.godaddy.com but I don’t know if I should use them for the hosting. I want to manage the site but I don’t know anything about driving traffic to the site and getting advertisers. Can anyone tell me how to make this thing pay me without selling any goods? The forum, my columns, and advertisements (if someone can tell me how to get some) will be the only services sold. Can I outsource the design cheaply. I am doing the Dave Ramsey budget thing and don’t want to spend a lot of money to maintain this thing.

    As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

    If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

    As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

    They are a Multi-awarded Web Hosting which offer a Full-featured service only $6.95. You can see their Plan Details accompanied with reliable reviews regarding their service at:

    Here I have copied and pasted its features from their website to view:

    - Free Domain Forever
    - Unlimited Space
    - Unlimited Transfer
    - Host UNLIMITED Domains (Support All Domain Names)
    - 2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts

    - CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL
    - Front Page Extensions
    - Free Site Builder

    - Free Search Engine Submission

    They also offer “Free Site Builder” that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get)

    I recommend either Godaddy Economy or the Deluxe plan:
    http://www.hosttell.com/godaddy/
    (prices from $4.74/month – $6.99/month)
    Price of a discounted domain with any hosting plan is $2.19

    or Dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html

    Their standard price is $9.95/month ($119.40/year)
    but you can use the promo code PLUS and get
    $50 discount +2 Free domain names.

    Disk space: Unlimited
    Bandwidth: Unlimited
    2 Free domain names
    Unlimited domains and subdomains
    Price: $5.78/month ($69.40/year)

    You can maintain it yourself
    advertisers are managed through google ads, that takes care of itself
    I can build it for around $475

    Outsourcing to another country will not likely get it done much cheaper

    Don’t use godaddy. look at these hosts, they are better:
