hmm..and what are your thoughts about free web hosting..is it good for a site with a purpose of making money?...because i have heard that search engines rank such sites preety low
Domain name will cost Rs 450/- a year though Godaddy comes up with monthly $1 coupon code where you can get your domain name for only $1. As far as hosting is concerned, I would recommend you go with hostgator or bluehost as they have excellent customer service and they don't limit you on anything. I have tried 3 different hosting providers in India and trust me they suck.
With Hostgator you can start as low as 200 rupees per month. And why go with HTML or Dreamweaver, you can use wordpress. You can have your site up and running in like 10 minutes.
Anyways, all of the above depends on what type of site you want to develop, personal blog or money making site.
Also, you can private message me if you want some coupons for hosting and domains. But that is if you are serious about it.
also i wanted to know the reason why free web hosting is discouraged.
Free hosting is discouraged because:
You do not have full control over your site.
Most of the free web host put their ads as well on the site. To be ad free you have to pay.
Also with free web hosting you do not get much bandwidth, so if you site gets a little traffic, the visitors will find it unable to load or your site will be inaccessible as the resources will be used with all the free sites.
Also, you have no access to raw data of your site with free hosting. You can't check the log of the site as in who visits the site, which country he was from and what keyword he used to reach your site.
Anyways the reason are endless and in my personal opinion it is better to go with paid hosting. And if you still want to go for free host, select blogger.
