First off what its for is when a new PvP realm on World of Warcraft opens up me and friends are going to be making a new guild "Should Be Nerfed" on the horde side and we are trying to get as many members as possible to ensure that we survive as a top PvP and raiding guild. (If you would like to join your more than welcome :) ) We are hoping to have at least 20 members by the time a new realm opens up.


So now to my real question I want to make a fairly nice and clean website, but I have no past experience what-so-ever.

Is there any ways to easily make one like using some sort of a template not just using HTTP.

and where should I buy my domain from?

If you don't know what you're doing, I would use free services to get my feet wet. Yahoo has webhosting, and you can get free forums at http://www.proboards.com/index.html. Then find you some free template off the net and play with it. Then you're set. When you get to buying a domain, I use GoDaddy.
