Your question seems a bit vague to me. What is the purpose of your site. Forum, Dating, business etc? There are many resources when it comes to finding help. There are also web hosts that can assist you in designing and building a website around your interests. I suggest that you take a look at several options. You can take a look at the web host that I use as one option. They assist both the pro and the beginner. http://www.tobuildyour.comHow do I start my own website?
At the most basic try setting up a freewebs site it is free then start a forum you can all chat to each other and catch up on others messages.
The cheapest way to go about it would be the following:





1. Get a domain name and a host (with mysql, cpanel %26amp; Fantastico, most have it). ($30 per year)





2. Login to Cpanel and access Fantastico. Install Joomla! Joomla! is a content management system which is ideal for creating sites like the one you need. You don't need any coding experience to use it, but it will take a while to get used to.


You can also install Joomla yourself. Get it at http://www.joomla.org
