(don’t mind his capitalization and punctuation; he has his own ideas of how it should be done)
it really depends on what you want from the site.
for a business site, probably yes, you will want professional backed up hosting and a site designed by a reputable company and email at the domain (.com, .net, .org, etc) that you own.
if you just want a free personal website to have a few pages and put stuff on, you might check out freewebs.com, weebly.com or pages.google.com.
for a blog, no, you don’t need to pay anything to have a blog site. Take a look at wordpress.com or blogger.com, both are really good free blog sites that let you set up an account, do some customizations and have a free personal blog website. (note: blogger also lets you use a domain you own)
if you want a community type website, say for you and your friends or for you family to share info, you can do that real easy for free too. They will let you share pictures, music, messages, and more. You might look at facebook.com, multiply.com, bebo.com

to have own domain, it would really cost you.. but not that much..
@dess very true, domains come fairly inexpensively. It just a matter of searching to find a good available one for the business. We are always happy to direct people to resources for searching out a domain name, or we can do the search for those who are busy with other aspects of running their business. At BTS we provide as little or as much support as each client wants.
