Question

How expensive is a domain name?

Community Answer

Domain names are inexpensive if they are new and not owned by anyone else. If the domain you are looking for is already taken, the price depends on the person who has bought it, assuming they are willing to sell it.

Question

On average, how much does it cost to have a basic website?

Community Answer

With Go Daddy I pay $1 for my domain name and $9.99 a year for privacy which protects me from hackers and the like. It's not terrible expensive.

Question

Can I send news on my website?

Community Answer

If you happen to possess a website of your own, you are capable of putting text contents and images of any (legal) kind on your website, including news. However, basic HTML knowledge is required for images unless you're using a website creator like Weebly or Wix.

You will firstly need to learn the basics of web development which include but not limited to HTML\CSS, Javascript, PhP, Python, etc. Use any coding application like Notepad++, Netbeans, Sublime text, etc., to build a basic website first, and then move onto complex projects. Understand how to get a domain name, and web-hosting and any other recurring costs.
