for a really low budget host $4 a year go to http://www.computinghost.com

For free hosting in exchange for posting on their forum (no banners) go to http://www.trap17.com

For free websites with no banners but no php or mysql go to http://www.freewebs.com . You only need to link to them on your main page.

Hope that helps man,
andy

Thanks, teammatt.

Yeah, I don't think I should go for a CMS just yet. I think the 'articles' organization should be used for something above my level (more content-heavy), and like you said, it would be better if I worked with static pages first, just to get the gist of it. I'll look into the pages that you've given me, and thanks again.

I'm 13.

1.) I always get my domain names at Godaddy.com, they are cheap and have a good control panel. I use surpasshosting.com for my web hosting. I think their cheapest plan is around $6 a month.

2.) If it is just a personal site don't use a CMS. You should really learn how to code yourself and learn not to rely on a CMS. If you go the CMS route I think WordPress would be a good choice for your site. Using guides off the net is not looked down upon. I'd say 90% of web developers used them.

3.) WordPress if you want to use a CMS. I still say you should code a static site first though.

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? I am 16 now, and I started goofing around with the web about 4 years ago. It is good to start early because you get a lot of experience some people only get in college.
