ok this is a non-technical question and since stackoverflow is the best, i am asking here. I am planning on creating an online portfolio for myself, to use in my resume and to use for other personal use, with my own domain name. I am pretty sure there is nothing free out there to create a domain name and have a website for ourselves (correct me if i am wrong).
so i looked up godaddy.com and found some domains really cheap, like for $4.99 a year which looked so un-believable. I need your suggestion on how to get started on this. I plan to design my website on my own and post photos and make modifications to the code since i am a web developer. so which website would be good to have things the way i want them to be and what would be the price.
any suggestion appreciated :)
