Novice needs help, please. Setting up as a sole trader and want to launch a small business web-site. Looked at Yahoo site design and hosting packages. Looks OK but is it a good idea or are there better options?

There are plenty of free webhosts out there. I personally like Angelfire as you get a choice of either using templates, or writing your own HTML. For the free option, you get 20Mb of webspace, but you can upgrade to buy the advanced package. Most free hosts mean that you're stuck with popup adverts - so if you want to avoid that, you'll have to buy your own webspace and/or domain.

Brinkster.com offers a range of hosting packages. The free package allows 30mb of space with no ads at all, also no FTP support on Free Package... *sigh*

For a VERY small outlay (startup package with all the bells and whistles is 15 GBP/21 USD a year) try http://www.34sp.com, a friendly service, fast reliable servers and a members' forum which covers questions on all the features.

Problem with these secondary hosted websites is that the search engines tend to give them secondary priority too. You are far better buying a name and paying a proper hosting company to host it as a primary site rather than putting it piggy back with someone like Angelfire or Yahoo. This is not as expensive as it sounds as you will not be using much bandwidth.
i.e. My site at http://www.education-jobs.co.uk costs about £50 a month but gets over ½ million hits a month. My other site at http://www.alexander-advertising.co.uk costs only £2.50 a month but gets only about 1000 hits a month.

I've just been on 34sp.com as seen u recommended it - IT IS SO CHEAP GUYS!
35 GBP - what a bargain for those who are just starting out with the basics but even better the company offers a good service - value for money for those professionals out there.
I would recommend anyone to take a look those who are keen on developing websites as a hobby or career.

You could try www.34sp.com - I recommend u to try them as they offer good service for the money they are asking for. I had looked at Yahoo hosting packages and thought they were a bit pricey.
