I want to put a website for my new business. Should I have someone host it or should I do it myself? How do I go about registering my domain name? How much does that cost? Any helpful info would be appreciated.
To register a domian try... <a href='http://www.godaddy.com' target='_blank'>http://wwwgodaddy.com</a>
It all depends on how many hits you get. If this site is going to get alot of hits at the same time I would prob host it...If not you can host it yourself...And dont pay more than $15 for a domain
You could get my business to do it for you... <a href='http://www.deltadigitalmedia.com' target='_blank'>My Business</a>

Depends on the scope and budget.

Most broadband ISP's offer free hosting space, albeit with meager storage (~10 to 15 MB).
You can also register free subdomains online at the cost of a popup ad for every click through.
For registering a domain... godaddy is reliable and modestly cheap.
For designing the page(s)... I do all work by hand b/c I can always create much cleaner and better code than any program... however there are many good Linux html editors out there.. they may have ports to Windows... a good one based on Mozilla code is Nvu.
Alternatively, there are many places to go to design it online. I even offer to do web design outside of NCAAbbs (for a fee of course).

They were the hosts of NCAAbbs when we had the dedicated Celeron that choked on our database hard. :(

I don't quite get the traffic you do, so I hope I'm safe. :)
