Ok, So i've got a really large photography portfolio, and I'd like to have a website to put it on.

I've heard about buying a domain, and paying for a host. But i really have no idea how/where to start.

Where's the easiest? Where's the cheapest?
I also have a mac, and i'm aware some creating software? (don't know what it's called) doesn't work on mac. :/


arghhh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

I would advise using http://www.deviantart.com/ or a simple blogging website like tumblr to host your photography, as creating and maintaining a website takes a lot of effort, especially as you seem to be a beginner at all aspects to do with web design.

But if you're determined to develop your own website, ask a mod to move your thread to the Designing & Development forum (http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=56), as you'll receive a lot more help under the right forum.

www.deviantart.com is a good free site to use. You could personalise it how you like and wish.

Sorry for the bump!
Use that or if you're good at photoshop then design a website and someone should code it for you.

Could have scripts to upload and that.

In support to your answer though, you could go with packages or use free sites then use a paid domain.
Domains can get cheap, especially from GoDaddy (Sometimes look around from here). Hosting is the main problem though.
Use 30mb.co.uk for starting off but first learn basic coding (If you don't know) from W3Schools.
