1) This is my fist time building a website. What are somethings I should consider?
2) I want to make money off of the site.
3) I do want to upload pictures and video on the site.
4) How do you ad email聽 and message board options to the
site?
5) Would you recommend the sites listed on 2createawebsite.com, to help build a website.
I need to know the best web host that offers the most options with the most available space for my site.?
As you choose a web host, especially one that%26#039;s going to be interactive, with message boards, ads, and so on, there is a lot more to consider than the bandwidth and drive storage space, and in that respect, all web hosting companies are most definitely NOT alike.
This question came up so many times with my clients that I wrote an article about it, here...
I need to know the best web host that offers the most options with the most available space for my site.?
Go for Hostgator hosting.

I use it and its great. Everything is in a panel and its great. It walks you through EVERY thing you need. For example you click add forums and it adds a forum and asks you to fill out some info.
I think a first day designer could make a good websites but if your a good coder the possibilities are endless.
Other Replys:1) You should learn enough that you feel confident that you don%26#039;t have to ask that question.
2) Any host is the same, as far as that goes, as long as the uptime is close to 100%. (100% uptime is impossible.) If they have an available (and good) shopping cart system it will help. And you%26#039;ll need a Paypal or merchant account.
3) Then you need a lot of storage - that%26#039;ll cost.
4) Email - the host has to have an email hook - almost all do. Of course you have to know how to write code to send the email.
Message board - you need a database the board can use. phpBBS can use just about anything.
I prefer Godaddy for hosting. I wouldn%26#039;t depend on a host to help build the site, I%26#039;d learn how to design one - then you get what you want, not what they want.
Other Replys:Agreed on going with Hostgator. Great variety of options and huge disk space coupled with RELIABLE loading time and up-time. Free plugins included for your to add email and message board functions and upload pictures and videos. Just remember to use online coupons before buying.

Other Replys:For hosting check out http://www.yoserve.com
They have all the web builder tools, lots of templates to get you started. You don%26#039;t say how you want ot make money? A web shop, advertising.
Yoserve.com packages include one click setup of shop software, then all you need to do is add your products. A great way to get a money making site going.
Other Replys:You will need to choose reliable web hosting with more than 99 % uptime and with good customer support.
If you look for web hosting, don鈥檛 rush into it. Read reviews about web hosting and decide properly before going ahead with web hosting.
I personally will recommend you a web hosting which many people find it very reliable. It is hostmonster.
Before deciding to sign up hostmonster, read the reviews and stats about hostmonster at the following website.

Other Replys:First, make sure your web host supports Microsoft Frontpage extensions if you plan on building your website with that software. Most web hosting companies include email addresses but not all include message board and blog installs (easy installs, that is). As long as they allow php and mysql you should be good with forums and all that on your site.
I own a web hosting company myself, it%26#039;s called eVentureBiz. Like a poster said above, not all hosting companies are the same. Ours is definitely different. It%26#039;s a social media web hosting company aimed at new online entrepreneurs and business owners. As the ceo, I spend time interacting with customers giving them suggestions on their websites and I run a blog where I help everyone learn and grow as entrepreneurs.
I wrote a great picture-guided step by step tutorial on how to install a phpBB forum, WordPress Blog, and set up your email using our control panel.
See those tutorials here:

Good luck,
