I know this may sound a bit dumb,I am new to this! But I am wondering where would i go to set up my own Website and how much does it cost, What are the loopholes to watch for.. And how would I attach paypal to the site also.. I am looking at doing on line readings. And then in September i am looking at setting up ,my business site as a Marriage Celebrant. I would like to concentrate on the readings side things first! Any help is appreciated Dancing Bear.

there are many hosts out there, I would just check into those for now, perhaps try to find the best deal..there are very cheap servers out there that pretty much give out bandwidth for free..thats the best advice I can give darlin..I would like change astral abyss a bit as well, and for me to add paypal would probably push folks away from my site, I have thought about adding it here on the forum, but I think good sites should be free and it will keep folks coming back..but for your buisness that is completely differant..I would look into only buisness hosted sites that offer special discounts for you to have your own site, in fact many sites will pay you for keeping their ads up on your site..so there are endless opportunities out there.. good luck with it, let me know how things go..

Thanks Lilacsky
I need Paypal for payment of readings.. I will not be setting up a forum. Just readings from Dancing Bear..Of course i keep doing readings in here for free, But for those who are not members of this forum they will need to go to my website! And for my Business I will only need a site for information only not payments etc... Thanks again for your help!
Do i just google Web hosts ?

I think i have found a Host, I am thinking of using them for my domain also, They seem to have a good reputation and are cheap enough to stay afloat if thingsd dont go too well to begin with... I am in the process of asking a zillion questions to Lunarpages.. I am wondering is it necessary to buy a template.. Can i design my own? I know how to upload to host if i do. If it is necessary is there any good ones out there you would recommend? I will find out about paypal today!*crossing fingers* all goes well! I cant wait to play with this.. I also am going to set up a good email address to fit blend with it all,, I have chosen a domain name. www.DancingBearonlinereadings.com Its available and i am stoked! Anyway enough of my babble.. Thanks LAdy Bleu and Lilacsky for your input!

OK still building up the Website, but i have registered my Domain now www.dancingbearonline.comI have free advertising for the first year with Overture. which is pretty cool.. This whole thing costs a bunch though.. But i am sure it wil be all worth it. *crossing fingers* Will keep you updated and let you know when i have launched it... I have limited time being a full time Mum, so may take me a little longer than the norm

LOL I reckon you are right.. I am having a look at the template i downloaded yesterday it really is nice i am thnking of going with it, i am reading how to open it , it uses photoshop, bugger i havent got that... so am on the search to see if i can open it another way or just use the images and create my own webpage from scratch... My years subscription is going to be up before i even get the page launched LOL!..
But i really want this site to relflect the type of person that will be doing the readings and also hopefully give an idea on what type of reading that they will get... As they say first impressions are the best impression.. I am going to hold off from offering past life readings in my own website for the time until things get moving here...

Yes, I know how it is to worry about the look of a website. I sat on mine for 6 months before I even let more the webhoster really know about the site as I was working on the look and all. And it sounds like a fine idea to wait on the reading there for a bit. And may I add, that I find it quite funny that you started this website idea, not long after I pointed out another website.

Yes it is.. I have been thinking on it for some time and a couple of things prompted me.. You obviously pointing out the other site and a reading i had from another psychic.. I had no idea she was going to give me one as it did not see her for one..(other issues) well she predicted the short term future for me as a medium/psychic reader.. and it was really good but the emotional aspect of it all... I really did not like the emotional aspect of facing one on one. i got an image from the cards she used , my guide was standing over me while i had all these people hanging off of me.. It horrified me really... She said i would hold many many secrets because of the amount of readings i will do.. she said by the age of 50 i will be quite well known,, she also mentioned the internet... I have done reading professionally for many years and decided it was enough.. as it was i did one the other day and wish i didnt really... Nice to help out but because i am so much a sponge and try to give all.. it becomes very emotional for me.. So i thought about a website to do readings.. In the other forum there are many who do this and are happy in doing it.. I seem to be too!! I enjoy over the net readings as i can go my own pace and not pick up on "all" of the emotions to go with it.. It is so much esioer to give a better more detailed reading than having emotions get in the way. Hence a combo of all sorts from everywhere including yourself, promted me to go ahead and do this... Im hoping it all goes well, as once i gain experience doing this, i have another site to build in september. *crossing fingers* i get appointed a Marriage celebrant.. I have been waiting nearly 3 years now.. I am on the list number 37 so I should get through this year.. *crossing toes also* I really need to get to know this coffee cup program they gave me to build the site up, they have also included visual designer which is so much easier for me, but have no idea how to change a templates background.. I have sent off an email to them so hopefully hear from them soon. DB xxx

I'm honored to know that I played a small part in your making a website, I guess it's in return for your getting me to open up to the Runes.
Hmm... I think I can understand why you would rather work via the internet then in person.
I was wondering as to why you choose the webhost that you did?

Because i could use two domains within the one program and all for the same price as one. the first Doamin is free then the second is only $8 per year but that is it no other set up costs just one payment. Plus being inexperienced with websites of my own, i googled and found a number of webhosting sites who recommended them to me.. I am happy so far with all i get in the package.. I can update anytime, It was Paypal friendly, it included chat, guestbooks, free internet security through Linux. Discounted Publicity with google, msn, Yahoo etc... Plenty of web space seeing as i do not need an overabundant of space. All round suited me for what i wanted to do.. I do not want to start my own forum I am happy here and the other site i belong to.. Just internet readings, and a website advertising my services as a marriage celebrant.( when that happens) P.S I worked out how to change the background * I am doing cartwheels here * I do not know how to show you what i have done so far but it is pretty cool i think.. Very not like what people will expect i think.. DB xx
