Discount Web Sites

Are you looking for discount web sites? If you want to be able to write and publish content to the Web for prices ranging from cheap to zip, you've come to the right place for basic tips.

The easiest way to guarantee yourself a cheap web site is to hop on over to Yahoo!'s GeoCities or some other provider of discount web hosting. Yahoo will give you a small web space and basic site maintenance tools for free, or give you more if you pay a nominal fee.

There is a basic dichotomy that exists between free and fee-based web hosting these days. Generally speaking, you have to pay if you want the best web site options, but you can get all the basic features needed for a small to medium-sized website for free. It's up to you. If you like, you can sign up for free services and later switch to fee-based services if you feel the need to do so.

Here are some qualities your discount web site hosting should include:

• All the web space you can possibly get. At least 10 megabytes (MB) would be nice - this amounts to about 100 pages of 10 kilobytes each - but you might be able to find 25 MB or more for free.
• A few free email addresses. It's nice to have several addresses so that you don't have to receive all your email in one place; instead, you can get the frequently asked questions emails in one inbox, the administrative suggestions in another, etc.
• Spam blocking. No need to elaborate!
• Free building tools that you can use online. Templates are nice, and make it easier to get your website up and running.
• Tech support. The more, the merrier - you don't want to have your site go down at a critical time only to find that no one is around to take your distress call.
