Help for my website

We started a mesageboard with our website for Sodom and Gomorrah. You can get one for free from http://www.proboards.com/index.html. We have not had problems with it yet.

 

First, I suggest getting a domain name. You can register a domain name through GoDaddy for about $9.20/year after all the fees. It's a very good investment for any site. Just don't fall for any of their add-ons that they try to trick you into buying along with the domain. Just a 1-year domain is all you need.

Next, you should hunt down a good web host. I suggest one that offers PHP and MySQL. Then you can install and setup a content management system (CMS) like phpNuke. These are really spiffy because you can integrate pre-made themes, forums, chatrooms, and other components into your site. It also makes posting articles and news very easy (once you get the hang of it). If you have a good web host, their customer support technicians can usually install one of these CMS's for you for free if you aren't too familiar with it yourself.

My friend and I operate a web hosting ministry called MiniHost.org, which helps provide like-faith Christian ministries with free web hosting with all the bells and whistles of a paid host. I could setup an account for you and install a few CMS's so you can try them out and see if that's what you are looking for.

You can find out more at http://www.minihost.org (please forgive the site, it's under construction- so a few links might not work and a few pages might look goofy).
