Do you want an apostrophe for "Jim's Voice"?

You don't need a lot of text to get your point across.
You do need a concept, though— a "brand".
Look here:

Mary Anne Doyle.

Interesting example. Promises "difference", delivers "same". Deirdre makes a valuable point. Lots of voices, why you? Reasons to buy should be encapsualted in the brand and concept but if people notice the brand and concept they may miss the voice.

Apostrophe added...
The brand?... I thought my concept was "Let me do the talking." ?

Rod... I checked out the "templates" site. Freewebs also supplies templates... but I realize they don't compare with custom templates. I'll probably hang on to this free site... and the V123 "address"... and the Voices "address"... untill I decide on a personal website.
(GoDaddy does look pretty interesting, and inexpensive.)

Then perhaps your demos should say it all!

Bailey,
Microsoft Office Live is offering free domain registration and free web sites with their Basics selection. They are ad supported but the ads run on the admin side and not on the public facing side. I am building a site there now. I got in when it was still in beta and am not able to edit HTML with the free site. I do understand that new subscribers have some HTML editing capability but I don't know how much since they haven't migrated my account away from the beta yet. This is one of the reasons I haven't gone public with the site yet.

Here is their home page. You might check it out.

I started poking around the net looking for the best values in hosting and I came across this page where they list 10 hosting sites and what you get for your money. Has anyone tried reseller internet hosting and domain registration as a side business?

Hi Bailey,
I have been very happy with Ultranet Domains. $4.95 per month and NO Contracts. http://ultranetdomains.com

Hope this helps. I am STILL missing my adopted Hometown("America's Finest City"), I leave in your capable hands to keep it in tact. LOL

Take care,
Don
