Most people don't realise this, but when you register a domain name, your details (home address, phone number, everything!) are posted to the net. This is part of the registration process all over the world, and you will have to pay the web host company another fee to 'secure' your details. This means that they remove your details and give their own. Please make sure that you get this security feature, otherwise your info will be all over the net. And yes, I do think it's easier to make your own site. Ok, you're going to have passwords, etc. to the site. But that won't help you in the event that you need to update the site yourself. If you do go ahead either way, try to learn how to design sites yourself. There's plenty of online tutorials for dummies (I can suggest a few places that are great), and getting a copy of Dreamweaver, a website design program, might not be a bad idea to start. Consider - do you want 'flash' (moving images, video, etc), sound, or do you just want static info and pictures? How fancy do you need/want the site to be? Also, there are heaps of young web designers out there who would be keen to work on a site for free. Check out www.artsconnect.com.au - they provide sites for artists for a fee, but there are plenty of links to other designers too.
