Depending on your needs, any of a number of hosting choices may meet your needs. A number of providers offer email services for your domain. ZOHO.com offers a wider range of web-based business services including email which is free for up to 5 email addresses. If all you need is a you@yourname.ca email address, this level of service may well be all you need. Some hosting providers offer a free or inexpensive landing page which you might use as a virtual business card, showcasing your skills as well as providing contact information. These sites provide a variety of ways to build a site from simply dragging various elements in place to create a site, through more complex options such as offered by Wordpress or LiveSite


Having secured your domain, depending on your needs, and the thickness of your wallet, , you may wish to start with a free service using a URL which includes your domain name such as yourdomain.hostingco.com and move to full domain hosting at a later time as your needs dictate. As you would continue to manage the first domain, you can easily point it to new URLs as your web presence grows.
