Have you got several thousand dollars a month for a T1 from
AT&T, MCI or Sprint? ;-) Seriously, it's a LOT of
work...unless you're going to have someone host your site
for you (there are free website hosting places --yahoo,
TheGlobe.com, etc) which will host your site for the price
of you allowing them to place a banner ad or two on your
site (typically a "pop-up" window.)
