Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Building a website
Ok I have been compelled into making a website. I have NO idea where to start. I do have a domain name (from go daddy). I guess my first question is will I have to pay for web hosting no matter where I go? And why in the name that all is holy do you need a 100 email address???? I was looking at the go daddy hosting but I am just so confused. How much space/pages should I look for? I have been told that I will need to sell products online and they want a shipping quote box as well. Is the $3 differences in the plans (on go daddy) worth it? How do you get traffic to your sites?
Note: this will not be a snake website, but you guys/girls are the smartest people I know and a LOT of you have killer websites.

If you want to start out uber-cheap and simple, go with webs.com. Its very limited, but if you got the domain name, thats half the battle. With webs.com, you still have a lot of options and flexibility, and you can update it very easily.
I believe there's a store page option on there now, and as long as you have a paypal account, you can just link to there.

GoDaddy is one of the worst web companies that exist. They spend more time and money on advertising then on what they should spend it (customer service). I move at least one client domain a month away from GoDaddy.
In regards to general website design and development, I have written several articles on it (every other week a new one is posted). They of course do not go into super detail because it's what I do for a living, but should be a good start for you.

I personally just built a website on Vista print, it was really easy. I just built it recently and it went live today. I was pleased, but only time will tell if it's worth the money. The first month is free and after that it's $20.00, but I have the most expensive package which allows a lot more features included PayPal Cart and checkout. Hope this helps.

I pay $5 a month for web hosting, and my reptile site is using ZenCart, while my other biz site uses SilverStripe CMS. We also just made one using Joomla.
Once installed, a CMS couldn't be easier to use.
