You can download the NVU software for FREE just go to www.nvu.com. Here is a tutorial on building and editing web pages using the opensource Nvu HTML editor.
Follow the prompts and download the software. You need to choose someone to host your site. All hosts are not created equal. You can get alot for you money if you are careful. Spending about $75.00 a year for a host is all you need to do. With this price you can have unlimited websites. I reccommend one of these three for value and service Bluehost, Hostgator, or Weycrest if you are in the UK. The domains will cost you $5.00-$10.00 a piece for the year depending on how many you pruchase at once, and yes you should have several domain names. In the beginning you really won’t know what name might be the best moneymaker.
When you are selecting domain names for your site it may make sense to consider the future of your site. Is it conceivable that the site will be spit in the future to concentrate on a specific product line or products that meet a specific need?
Domain names are classed as the building blocks of the internet. Having the right domain name is key to your site. It is also important to name your site the same as your domain name. The simple reason behind this is that people will remember your site by its domain name, not by its URL.
Here you can make yourself known and advertise. The drawback is that others will be seeking bargain deals, so they can trade on. A more reliable approach is to “park” your names with a company such as Sedo or Namedrive. Here, without a fee, each name is given its own webpage together with adverts, from which you earn a little money. The most lucrative, but not at all easy is to sell the name directly to a suitable business. This could be a new-start or one requiring a web presence and so a good name.
In some cases, you may not get any information from WHOIS domain name search if the domain name is protected by domain name protection service. You can find out how long a website has been around, who owns it, and where that company or individual is actually located by doing a WHOIS domain name search. You will be able to spot a scam operation by comparing the information you find from the search with the information that is shown on the website. For example, if a website claims that it has been in operation for many years but your findings show that the domain name they use has just been created a week ago, you may not want to trust this website.
