Weebly.... Weebly includes its very own website builder and you can get your own website online for free.

Emails

It is always a good idea to keep your business emails and personal emails seperate. Gmail or Yahoo is a good starting point for your online business. They are easy to use and is accepted by most other business'. But in saying that, most free email accounts would be accepted. We have found that Hotmail accounts are not that welcome due to some spam content.
