Wondering if you guys know of a good and cheap service to get a website going(for a very small biz). Were you plug in your info into basic templates. They host it and provide the domain etc.

Google-ing this is daunting. So much SPAM :mad:

Does not include the domain name. Register your domain name with GoDaddy.
GoDaddy also offers web services but I tried them and have had better experiences with HostGator.

HostGator offers lots of templates. It also inlcudes forum software, live chat, blog etc. (All at no extra charge).
I'm currently hosting about five sites with them. I got the unlimited domains package. I can host as many domains as I want for no extra charge. They have GREAT tech support.

Before you register your domain with GoDaddy, do a google search for "GoDaddy Coupon Code" or "GoDaddy Promo Code". You will find promo codes for discounts. Do the same for Host Gator.
In fact, before you ever order anything online from anyone, do a search for that company's name and "promo Code". You'll be amazed at how many online retailers have discount promo codes that you are not aware of.
