I want to start a small business on line with a website. I'm not to computer savy, so I need one that is easy to produce a one or two webpage. Any Ideas or Suggestions?

Does your internet provided, provide you any web space?
Earthlink. provides a do it yourself 2 or more web pages which is simple

If you have a changing inventory of items, you may need help maintaining the site when you make changes and updates, sell and buy new stuff. I think businesses need a web site nowadays just like they need a business card. But some people try to get in over their heads -- they try to set up a site with changing products, but have no arrangements, computer savvy, or budget for updating the site. That's a mistake, especially if you're paying an annual fee for a domain name and paying a host a monthly fee for a "business" site.
If you don't want to hire any help, the best thing to do is make a basic site with one of the simplest hosts with your logo, product list, a couple pictures, and contact information, and plan on keeping it that way. The trick is finding a host that will let you use a domain name without charging you.
Some sites who sell domain names dirt cheap buy the names themselves -- meaning they own them, not you. To buy your own name costs a standard fee of about $35 a year from the national registry service. If you're paying a lot less, chances are your host owns the rights to the name of the online business you're building. If you don't mind, fine. If you do, don't go that route. Buy your own domain name direct.
Earthlink provides real business sites, lets you use your own domain name, and provides domain name mail accounts that forward to your e-mail address. They can also provide shopping cart and credit card service. So can MSN. It's just a matter of how seriously you want to get in.
I build web sites, and I know a lot of people who either go into it without the computer knowledge to make it work, or sign with an ad agency and pay thousands that they don't need to spend.

I would also like to add Banners to other websites. I don't want to restrict myself to Auctions.
I'm with AOL because I've been to lazy to change. I've been thinking about Juno.com. It would have to be a Professional Address. magnumdistributors.com is what I had in mind.
The name of my Drywall Company has been Magnum Drywall for 18 years.
Any suggestions or help would greatly be appreciated. Yes, I would like to own the Domain. I would like to add a Order Invoice on the website for those that don't have a Fax Machine. I would need three pages at the most, more than likely just two.

Here are three web sites that would make a pretty good start to get the info you are looking for. Start with InterNIC, then try the other two for more info and package deal offers. There is no shortage of people with web servers who will be delighted to host a web site for you once you've reserved and paid for your domain name -- your own domain name should be transferable any time you change hosts. If a site says your domain name will not be transferable, chances are they want to retain ownership and license you the rights to use it as long as you pay them as their customer. Sometimes you have to ask them straight out, if I buy my domain name through you, do I own it outright?
