Free Web Builders from an Internet Hosting Provider

If you’re on a budget and would like to build your own website (on your own domain name), then you can choose an ISP (Internet Service Provider) that offers a free website builder when choosing your hosting package. This option is different to having a website hosted on another website, e.g. Blogger.com or MySpace.com, because using your domain name instead of another websites looks more professional. For example: http://toursandtales.blogspot.com/ vs. http://toursandtales.com/ 

After registering your domain name and hosting package, you should get login details to the online control page, where you can log into your account on their website, and manage your web pages from there.

These GUI’s (graphic user interface) are usually quite easy to use, where you can create, edit or delete website pages. You add the title to your page and then your content, which normally includes your text, photographs or links to other internal pages or external websites. When you click on Save, the changes should be updated instantly. Obviously you’d need to read the help screens or contact the support department for proper instructions.

This option is normally used by enthusiasts wanting to share their hobby, or by people starting their first website. It’s important for them to have their own domain name, but they don’t want to risk / spend too much on their new venture.
