William you basically have 2 options available to you, creating a web site for FREE or pay someone to create one for you. My suggestion is that when you are first starting out you should take the first option, create one for free, and there are several programs on the internet that will allow you to do that. A couple of years ago I created my personal website using Weebly, and this site still serves me well, despite it costing me absolutely nothing. The only real difference to using a free web site creator like Weebly is that if you don't upgrade then you must leave 'weebly' in the web address.
Weebly is an easy to use system that any novice can use, and it is actually quite fun playing around and creating your own site. You have total control over it's layout and content, and you can change anything at any time very easily. You can add as many pages as you want, include a blog and a contact page, just the same as a paid web site, so I see this as a very good option for SFI newbies.
I have other sites with Weebly that I created, but I paid a little extra to have the 'weebly' removed from the web address, the only reason I did that is to make those sites look a little more professional, which it does. But at the end of the day your web address is just that, it is only an address, and you can actually cloak that to a shorter address using a program like 'Tiny URL' or similar, so you don't even see the 'weebly' anywhere.
If I can give you a couple of very important tips when creating your own site:
1. Keep your site fresh with all the latest SFI updates
2. Keep your site visually appealing but easy to navigate around.
Good luck, I hope you have a lot of fun creating your new site...
