Many ISPs provide free web space when you sign up for Internet Access through their service, and this space is available as long as you continue to pay for your internet access. You can also go to one of many web malls, which are web servers which just host business web sites. If your web page is promoting a specialty item the general public may not be interested in these web malls may not have a significant advantage, but if you are selling a product or service that would be used by most people, it may be useful to have your web site on a server with a lot of other such sites, so that people who come to look at their site, may look at yours as well.

Some web pages sell a lot of merchandise through the web, such as Amazon Books, L.L. Bean, or Surplus Direct. Obviously a web page this complicated costs a lot more to create, but you can always start small, and get more complicated later.
