hosting

I need to publish a website in the internet (for a business), but I dont have a clue how to do it. I dont wanna use geocities beacse of their ads. I know I have to purchase my own domain to do this, but do i have to purchase hosting as well?

Unless you are going to use a free service which intitles the service to place ads on your site, in a word... yes.

I suggest you research about hosting companies, what to expect, and decide what would fit the needs of yourself or your client. I believe there are a few threads here dealing with finding good hosting. You might want to look those over as a starting point. Taking time now to learn a bit about the hosting industry can save you more time and lots of regrets in the future.

It used to be that you had to pay $25 or more a month for hosting, but it's dropped considerably over the last year or so to about $6 or $7 a month for everything you'd need to run a small to medium sized website. I have used Lunarpages for a long time and am extremely happy with them, and they are currently offering $700 worth of CoffeeCup web design and web page creation software for new accounts.

I'm running 4 different sites on one account with them, and have yet to hit even 1% of my bandwidth limit Their technical support is also outstanding, and you can pick up the phone and actually talk to an educated tech within a few seconds.

You may buy hosting from www.webhostingbuzz.com. Their shared hosting starting from $3 per month will suit you perfectly well. This company has a fast support (ticket system, e-mail and phone).
