A typical problem:
I’m just wanting to tinker with building and putting up a webpage for personal reasons (I already own the domain), but I don’t want to go spend 0 on Microsoft frontpage or other programs. A good template program would be awesome. Any suggestions?

Hostgator Complaints
No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:
- No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.
If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just ask and you shall receive.

You can get the EZLAVA Web Site Builder that includes hosting for around $20 a month. That’s for up to a 20 page web site. Go to http://www.ezlava.com and check out their software. The program includes professionally designed web site designs, clip art graphics, photos, and several wizards to help you put everything together.
I’d skip frontpage if I were you.

VicSEO says
If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a "homepage" which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool which is totally free. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage.
Nevertheless, the "homepage" URL is likely to be "http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber… name" and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., "mydomain.com" which allows you to link any registered domain name to "mask" another website. For example, should you type in the "domain name," you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber., a homepage URL which will be masked by the domain name. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE.
Good luck!
