Creating Web Pages and Web Sites and Putting them on the Net The Web Host

Web Site Hosting Naturally, these services aren’t free. You can expect to pay at least $5/month (long-term contract; more if you want to pay month-to-month) for a good web host. Free hosts, like Tripod or Freewebs or Yahoo GeoCities, always have some kind of drawback – ads, pop-up panels, etc., on your web pages. If you’re OK with these, go for it.

(Your web host will likely offer domain registration too – maybe even for free – but this too isn’t required, and may be a bad idea.)
