UGM Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 All you need is to get yourself a package from a company that sells server space. Try www.123ehost.com they are reasonable enough and you will have very minimal downtime if any. They are also very helpful if you have any issues and don't charge extra like some companies do. You can also buy a domain name from them as well. If you get the Ultra package and a domain it will cost you about $110USD then if needs be you can take a business package from them which is about $275. They have a easy to use control panel with website software scripts already pre installed and you can use those to create your own website. I have used them and the software e107 it is very simple to do and you can make a site as large or as small as possible, most of the stuff is added plugins so you can add a photo gallery, video galley, pages, guest books etc all for free. You can get many free themes as well to change the appearance and if you wanted a specially designed theme you can find guys that will do that for a fee. But it's a good way to get started with a website. Once you know if its going to take off you can then go down the route if paying someone to design you a professional website. But they can be very expensive. The cheap guys tend to be cheap for a reason and they also usually have to do the updates to it and then get the rest of their money from doing that. If you need any help just drop me a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaz Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Nothings impossible - is my little saying. I set my business up, after leaving a job 'by reason of compromise' for which I travelled and worked in a lot of different places in the world, with a 7k loan (from parents) earn't sweet FA the first 4-6 months but after 2.5yrs, I went Ltd about 6 months ago, now I turn over on average anywhere from 15 to 10k a month and wouldn't look back or work for anyone else. My business couldnt be further away from what I used to do, I was/have been, a project manager and purchasing manager within the shopfitting industry (its all I've ever done) now I play with poo :lol: and thats a long story Wish I could find someone for 30 quid a day, save me a fortune I'm always on the lookout for occasional labour. Good luck in whatever you choose, just remember Rome wasn't built in a day, never give up and you will succeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
