Newbie for website development

[DotCom9]

Hello guys,

I've spent a loot of time now on buying domains that I've actually got fed up and I am thinking to develop some.

Can anybody tell me how much it would cost to build a website.. I am plannin to have a forum where people can talk and post some Pics.

How should I go about it?

All comments small or big are appreciated and repped.

Thx in advance.

Hello !

It depends , if you have a domain and a host then the forum might be installed for free (phpBB version)

So if you dont have a domain or host then go at google and search for free forum hosting and you will find one !

Thanks

If you are planning on trying to make money with this site and you probably want to add more sites in the future, your best option may be to get what is called a reseller account. You ascentially rent space on someone elses server and you become the host. This gives you alot of administrative power over the sites that you create and you dont have to pay money every time you want to add a new domain name. Most reseller accounts give you the capability to install forums and databases on your account.

Now do this only if you plan to grow with this site and future ones or you can go on google and search for a free forum hosting site.

If you are interested you can pick up a reseller account at: http://www.srlnet.com for about $20 a month.

Dear Ravi:

Use Simple Machines Forum(SMF), which is a free forum software, to create a forum. You can use a ad-free free hosting service like freehostia.

SMF: http://www.simplemachines.org/
FreeHostia: http://www.freehostia.com/ -- Use a proxy if you are not allowed to register for freehosting. They disallow some countries.

Need more help you can PM me.

And one thing, don't buy the domains whatever you like. Read the posts on domain sales, get an idea of what are selling hot, and purchase. Otherwise, you will end up with leaving them to expire.

I would say get a shared host with cpanel such at http://dotnamehost.com were you can install most forum's in a few simple clicks. Or if you have a host try using fantasico in your host's cpanel. Could help if you would supply more info such as if you have a host etc?
