Few questions for building my first website

[Reliable1387]

If you are going to write your own code or have someone write it for you Byethost.com has a pretty good free hosting service. I use it for www.Reliable-Landscaping.com and use Google apps for my email service. There are no forced ads with Byethost and it's been pretty good for my needs. In a former life I was a computer geek and was able to write my own site and some for a few other entrepreneurial friends. My only costs are the 12-15 bucks a year for Godaddy for my domain needs. I know I need to do some SEO work on my site but have found Google places has been the most effective for me drawing business.

We currently use GoDaddy but I have been hearing a lot of bad things about their customer service. I have heard HostGator.com is one of the best in the industry.
