please help. website building and hosting

I operate a small cleaning company and recently registered a couple of domain names. I would like to get a site up and running, I also need a host.
There are so many sites making many different promises and claims.
It is very difficult to determine which is legit.
I nearly bought into 'site build it' I did some research and had a change of heart, ha.
Can someone please refer me to a reliable, legit way to build a site and find a host?
These questions may be a bit lightweight for computer "savvy" geeks but this "not so savvy" geek is having an issue in sorting it all out.
I am a single mom also raising a granddaughter, I employ 3 other single mom's and look forward to expanding. We are hard workers and I believe a good website will not only make us appear more professional but also bring in more clients.
How do I go about beginning a blog?
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.
I have come to trust the opinions and suggestions of 'Major Geeks' over the years, which is why I turned to ya this time.

Who did you register your domain names with?

Domain.com, are they reputable?
thanks for your response.

 

I've never used them but since you already have a domain name with them I would stick with them.

I see they have hosting options and they are decently priced, you can host your web page with them for $6.75 a month.

Or you can use a free site but there will be ads and most likely pop ups when users visit your site.

 

thank you so much for your help.
thank you most of all for your service to our country!!
i have a son in Iraq his name is 'Joshua' he works on Apache armament, he doesn't keep in touch with me, i sure wish he would.
take care of yourself and stay safe.

I just found something that supposedly shows how to get a blog going. I haven't actually gone through it yet but here is a link: http://www.becomeablogger.com/

Also, did you know that microft offers a free website and free hosting and domain name for 1 yr? http://smallbusiness.officelive.com/

It does look like the company you registered your domain with has some decent options though, and a nice looking site builder too.
