What will be the main purpose of the site?
Does anyone know how I would go about it
I'd want to registar a name set up a site with 'under construction' ie really basic to start, maybe with a pic etc
But also make sure it can be 'viewed'
Whats the best way to registar a name and get a website up and running
Any help greatly appreciated.
What will be the main purpose of the site?
There are several domain name companies out there.
I had my website with Yahoo for years, as their web building tool was super easy to use. I'm no website designer, so it suited me.
The cost depends on the provider and the package you buy.
When you pick your name (provided it's available), you need to decide what the purpose of it is (as Straycat said). This will determine wether you have a .com, .org, .biz, .net etc.
The .com's are the most used ones, but might be hard to get unless you pick a very unique name.
You don't want to go too crazy making up a name, and making it too hard for people to spell it right.
Good luck.
WWW.stewart38.com very unique IMHO

register with freeparking.co.uk - automatic under construction page etc... free change of IPS tags etc... best way to start...
search engines will eventually notice you, as long as you have something to notice
To get search engines to notice you, you need to enter meta tags for your pages, especially on your home page (index site).
Then you need to list key words, these should also appear in your page content ie. www.stewart38.com is your site, you would put "Stewart38 -dance champion 2010" as a meta tag, then enter a short description of your services, and key words and phrases.
You should find this under "page properties.
Contrary to popular belief, it does not increase your chances to paste in the same few keywords 2000 times (I had a friend ask me to do this when making his webpage).
I am using www.one.com and I am delighted so far. It cost me around 10 pounds and comes with a website drag and drop builder package, with email addresses, blog, database, picture gallery.
Though usually .co.uk domains are a good bit cheaper than .com ones
agree. some people will type in .com whatever you print.
The Internet gurus I have been studying says that google gives preference to .co.uk domains for enquiries from the UK, especially in brick and mortar businesses. They are trying to leverage goggle maps, and focusing more and more on relevant location. If your customers are mostly in the UK then .co.uk is probably the best first choice. Both customers and google like to see a street address.
e.g. do a google search on dance classes perth and Franck's site comes in at no. 1 because he registered his venues locations (free) at Google.
I have seen a report that Google actually scores some .com addresses lower, because they are over-used and abused.
When writing it use BristolFirewood.co.uk The computer treats upper and lower case the same in urls, but it makes it more memorable and readable for human eyes.
A business site should be about your customers. This is an example of simple page that starts a relationship with a potential customer.
Hi, we are ...
Here is some useful free advice (I am on your side, and useful)
If you give me your address I'll send you more good free stuff

Not strictly true; I'm researching this myself and only Inktomi definitely uses keywords. Teoma 'unofficially' supports keywords, but AllTheWeb, AltaVista and Google definitely do not.
There's obviously no point taking them out if you already have them (unless you've over-done it and abused the system, which may give negative results), but the general consensus nowadays is that it's not worth the effort putting them into new sites/pages.
Perhaps you could let him know where he is going wrong?
