hi. im looking to create a website thats independant. i mean, i dont want to have to share somebody elses URL, like www.freewebs.co.uk/example, i would rather it be www.example.co.uk. also, i would like to be able to do pretty much what i want with it, post links, display ads, have as many pages as i like, so on. is there a way i can do this, and who would i have to pay in order to host (as obviously you have to host the site on the web, therefore you probably have to pay someone.)

im a bit of a beginner at creating webiste so information would be usefull, but its important that i can atleast display adds. thanks ^

You'll have to buy a domain name. It will run you anywhere from $10 a year to $35 a year depending on who you pick as your domain name registrar. Some (like GoDaddy) will provide you with free hosting on your new domain, if you're willing to put up with some ads.

Generally your best bet will be to have separate accounts at separate companies for the domain name (the registrar) and the website (your hosting company).

this place will teach you how to make a website for free. you'll also get the best training on internet marketing there:
