How does one go about registering a domain name? Is there a place that can design a basic layout that I can modify as needed?

Thanks.

godaddy.com is a good place to buy your domain.

I have gone through this, and what I did was lay out on paper how the website was supposed to look to the customer, page by page. Then I interviewed designers and showed them what I wanted.

If you can explain what the finished product will look like, you will save yourself a lot of time, money, and aggravation.

There are hundreds of domain name registrars to choose from. Godaddy is a decent one to consider.

Most registrars supply tools with templates for building simple websites.

I used yola.com to build my site. It was pretty simple to build using their site builder. I'm sure there are lots of other good site builders to choose from. I have my domain registered with godaddy.

If you don't want to build it yourself you can find a designer like RichieURich mentioned and having an idea of what you want the finished site to look like will make things easier. Personally, I liked building my own site but it can be time consuming.

godaddy lost a LOT of customers due to their public support of SOPA....

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will see what I can come up with. It will not happen anytime soon, but I will work on it.

Oh. godaddy is a GIGANTIC pain in the ).) I used them once to host a site for a friend and it was nothing but confusing marketing and nickel and dime BS the whole way. You want to send more than a hundred emails a day? BUY more email credits. You don't see this circus until you sign up and put your card or paypal on file. Confusing packages of services that don't need to be so confusing. They do that on purpose to get more $$ from you. godaddy is a trainwreck of a hosting service IMO. I cannot stress how conveluded godaddy was. I have built dozens of websites and I could not believe how much godaddy tried to rob you of more cash at every turn. They even kept charging my paypal account after I set up the website for a friend who left my paypal address as the payment method for montly "credits" because it was such a purposefully confusing site, they could not find how to change the payment options. They thought they did, changing the email in half a dozen places but did not work. Never...never again.

The best I have used so far is www.arvixe.com. No BS. Choose either windows or linux. Buy the domain and/or get your site hosted for $8 or so dollars a month with unlimited traffic, unlimited storage, and no email credits to buy.
