Cheapest was to get a website????

Hi

I have had an idea for a website but I don't know where to go from here! Is it easy to build your own website (I know people study long and hard to be website designers but I don't want anything too fancy!). I don't really have a great deal of cash to pay someone!. Could anyone give some pointers on how best to go about it? Even if I could do part of it to make it cheaper that would be fab.

Thanx in advance.:o

    you can get a beginner package from 1and1 for £1.99 per month which includes 250mb web space and about 5 email addresses. It includes the website builder which makes it easy for novices to make their own site. You would also need to buy a domain name (for a .co.uk domain, it is 2.99 for a year) which can also be bought from 1and1.

    get free hosting @ 110mb.com ....

    they have php and mysql (paid upgrade)

    i have used them for 2 1/2 years and never had a major problem... i only use it for hosting scripts / testing new scripts, it would be perfect to host a start up website until its fully complete
