Hey guys and girls,
I'm looking at starting up my own website, something that has my own domain name, which I can make regular updates to, including pictures, embedded videos uploaded from vimeo, and blogging capabilities (people can make their own comments on it).
Does anybody know a good cheap place to go to to host this?
I want to be able to design it all myself with ease, preferably online (not having to download a separate program and working through that) as I may not be home when I want to update it.
I've done a quick search now but the results are pretty overwhelming as you can imagine.
I've got a few friends making suggestions but wanted to know if any on here nows of anything also.
Cheers.
Making my own website, need help

Hi mate,
I'm currently hosted with EUKhost - they're fantastic! good support and fast servers. You'll probably be wanting one of these plans: http://www.eukhost.com/cpanel-web-hosting.php
As for domain, I bought my own domain separately and changed name server records. I always buy domains from http://www.123-reg.co.uk and they've never let me down - also, good control panel, very easy to use.
Sounds like you pretty much want a blog and if I were you I'd go for http://www.wordpress.org - again it's easy to use, you can add posts, pictures, videos online. You can play about with a full version of wordpress at http://php.opensourcecms.com/scripts/de ... =WordPress and see if you like it.
If you do go with EUKhost they use cpanel which includes fantastico - and will automatically install wordpress for you!
I think I've covered all the basics, if you need any help just ask - I've set up quite a few websites and used to run my own server back when I had more time to mess about with stuff like that.
