IT Employment
I am looking for the basic steps on getting added to the Internet from a Web Site perspective and the estimated costs. 1st step is registering a name. That will cost "$" and is done through (?)
Next steps is to get your name hosted. That costs "$" and should be done through ? What else to I need to consider?

This is really very easy. First, you need to register your domain name. There are lots of registrars available to do this for you, but they all go through either InerNIC or OpenSRS (at least they do in the States). Domain registration can cost anywhere from about $8/year all the way up to $32/year. Some of the really cheap advertised registration fees require you to host with whoever is advertising.
Once you've registered your domain name, you'll need to determine what hosting services you need. Everybody provides email and web hosting, but how many email addresses will your host give you? How much monthly bandwidth? Disk space? Databases? Shopping cart? CGI support? Do you want/need your host to run a certain OS? With these in mind, go shopping for a hosting provider. You can simply google search "Hosting Providers" and you'll get a huge list of them. Hosting ranges from free to as much as you can afford, depending on available services.
I use Apollo hosting. Their pricing plans are available here.
