Seems you had a bit of bad luck Bob, they have just started in the USA and the guy said he wanted cheap so for about 5 dollars US thats about 2quid UK I thought he may stand a chance of getting his dot com, but I will warn others now I know.

Do you have broadband at home? If you you can run a basic site from home by using apache as a webserver and DynDns.org to point a 'friendly URL' to your home PC. You need to be careful re security(Firewalls etc but I can talk you through this off line if you like.) but it is quite easy to setup and wouldn't cost you anything except leaving your pc on all day/night.

Hot Tip:
======
Once you understand the simple code for HTML for hyperlinks, as shown on next line...

<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/">This is the BBC Website</a> - lots of facts<br>

You can discard the favourites in your web browser and store all your precious links within webpages on your local disk.

Now your precious links are mobile.
Copy the pages to CDRom or USB and take them with you.
Or upload the pages to some webspace and you don't even need a CDRom or USB pen.

As you can see my precious links are stored on my E: drive on my laptop and I have collected many thousands over the years.

Good Luck

At www.ukreg.com I got a .co.uk domain for under £7 for 2 years.
At I-web I got a webspace for £10.99 a year that will do whatever you seem to want & more.
(you have to be a member of cable forum to get it at that price).

I use fortunecity but sometimes it disappears temporarily without warning.

Re: I Am Making A Web Site
 

This is doing my head in. I need somebody to tell me real basic stuff on how to start and next step and next step after that.
