Suppose I wanted to get a webpage. Suppose I know the URL I want and no one else has it. Suppose I also need server space to host the actual webpage. Now what?

Edit: Suppose it is for a professional website.

When you buy your domain, you will probably want to purchase Privacy Protection so that people can't find your address in a WHOIS search. I think it's an extra $7 or so a year.

I like using Brinkster for hosting - you can get a cheap package for as little as $4 a month. Dreamhost has a slightly more user friendly interface and is about $9 a month for two years.HTH!

Thanks for reminding me of the WHOIS, I can put my work address in, I don't mind people knowing that from my professional site.

Do Brinkster and Dreamhost throw in the domain name thingit with their service?
