Although there are millions of web sites being hosted on the internet right now, not all of them are heavy hitters so to speak and maybe never will be. A lot of that has to do with the quality of content that most sites have, but there's also another important factor to consider: a site needs be built properly from the beginning to become a success down the line. In order to do that, you're going to have to purchase a domain name package from a professional registry site. They'll help lay the necessary groundwork for future success.
A variety of sites exist out there that let you create your own personal web site for free, but most of them fall short in a couple of important ways. First and foremost, they'll leave you stuck with using a cookie-cutter set of features. They have to offer generic features or their site won't be able to appeal to a wide audience. Secondly those features aren't going to be very sophisticated. They can't just give you access to advanced services without charging you, but if they charged for their services you might not be interested. Therefore, their offerings are usually toned down. Finally, you're not going to get your own dedicated domain name. You're always going to be behind a different name and internet users won't give you the respect that you're looking for.
If you want to get serious about the whole thing, you really should look into doing it all yourself. Creating a web site involves purchasing a name or web address, hosting, and getting the actual web site itself created. Most people might be able to purchase the domain name and hosting easily enough but they may be at a loss when it comes to the rest. Fortunately, you can enlist the services of a registry site to cover all aspects of site creation. Registry sites aren't just for purchasing names any more. Because of how competitive the registry landscape became, some sites chose to branch out and offer complete solutions for web site creation. You should seek out those kind of sites out and inquire about their offerings.
Although the cookie-cutter sites were free, you'll have to pay money if you decide to create your site using a domain registry package. You're not going to have to pay that much though. You'd really only be looking at paying around $1 per day and sometimes less. For a measly $1 every day you're going to get a lot more than those free sites could ever offer, and that's not even factoring in the web address itself. You'll get more disk space, high transfer limits, more FTP accounts, more email addresses and the ability to upgrade to much better offerings whenever you're ready. Those free sites often don't even have an upgrade path for you should your site start to take off. Ultimately, a domain registry package is the only way to do your site justice. You'll get serious features at a price that's surprisingly affordable, so why not give it a try?
Don't underestimate the influence that dedicated
domain names have in determining a site's success. A
managed hosting package provided by a reputable registry site is the most affordable and effective way to create a professional web site.
