A professionally designed website with your own domain may be rather expensive, but several websites offer subdomains with a lot of space for content for free. If you are interested in selling clothing, toys or other items online as a home business, you can register for a free account with one of these Web hosts and build your own website. Even if you have no experience designing websites, the templates provided by these hosts make it easy to create a professional-looking website
