You can register your domain through google and build your website on blogger for free. Their blog setup actually makes nice, simple websites and being google, they tend to show up high in searches right away. If you know HTML you can bypass their templates and upload your own.

edit: this is an example of an informational page a friend of mine owns that is done on google/blogger. It began showing up in the top half dozen searches only a few days after he started it. During the summer he was getting hundreds of page views a day.
