Go to
www.trexhost.com and purchase their S1 package. They will give you two name servers. Then go to
www.dynadot.com and get a url of your own.
example:
www.myurlformysite.com
Then log in to your account at dynadot.com, enter the two name server addresses, and presto you are on the web.
Log in to your site by typing in
www.myurlformysite.com/cpanel and start adding features to your site. I'd recommend using fantastico in the cpanel to install the things you want on your site like wordpress for a blog, smf for a forum, etc...
visit my site at
www.gustason.com to see what are some things that can be done.
I use:
Drupal for the main site (a content manager)
SMF (Simple Machines Forum) for the commentary and forum sites
Word Press for the Blog
All can be installed in cpanel via Fantastico De Lux
Hope this helps Scott.
BTW, costs are $5.99 / month for 5GB of space at
www.trexhost.com and $8.99/ year to register the domain name at
www.dynadot.com
