making a website ?

You cannot generally get your domain like www.yahoo.com for free.

visit http://www.freedomain.co.nr/

It gives www.yourname.co.nr type of address which is the best thing you can get for free.

Besides there are a large number of sites that offers free subdomain like yourname.freewebsites.com

Here are some such sites.

http://www.freewebsites.com/

http://www.2ip.com/

http://www.awardspace.com/

http://pages.google.com/

etc.

You need to go and buy a domain name. If you do a search for domain names you will get many companies that offer you the service of purchasing the name you want. It does cost and some companies include a place to insert your website files and others just provide you the ability to purchase the domain name.
