I am going to need a website for an overnight cabin rental and wondered how hard it would be to set up and manintain it myself.

It’s not hard at all. Most places that host site have free tools to set up web pages and there are free tools on the Internet. Now if you want to get a bit fancier with a form people can fill out to e-mail a rental request, that is a bit harder but most tools make that pretty easy too. It is like anything else. A one or several page web site with a phone number and a couple pictures is easy. Forms, maps interactive content starts getting harder.

You can look at a couple hosting services that host and register your domain name godaddy.com and aplus.net are two. There are hundreds more out there.

Thanks for the reply. I really just want something simple with contact info, pictures, and a calendar showing available dates.

The calendar will be the hardest part. But, some hosting sites have free calendar software that will make it easy for you to do that.

I would call the hosting company's 800 number and ask if they have we site software with a calendar rather than do an online subscription.

The online is easy but then you might find that you need to buy software to make a calendar.
