Both are good Social Networking sites since they offer almost the same features. But it'll take time for Google+ since they're still building the reputation that Facebook has.

Currently checking the reqts now! Thanks for the help! Also, I'm wondering if which is better.. Hiring a Developer for my website or maintain it on my own? Like what I said, I'm new here but I'm continuously looking resources so it'll be easy for me.

I'm about to set up my new website and I'm glad I've stumbled upon this list http://www.webhostingsearch.com because thay have great hosting plans and reviews from users. This really helped since I'm new with this. Can someone help or tell me what else do I need to get my website up and running? Your comments will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Joomla is best for creating websites oriented to e-commerce and website requiring a more professional touch. Joomla has thousands of extensions to offer, which are instrumental in increasing the functionality of a website. With its wider flexibility, enhanced features and premier extensions, Joomla to greater extent out beats WordPress.

I'd suggest "Learn HTML In a Weekend" book. This really helped me when I'm still new with HTML and CSS.

One of the advantages of Business Hosting is they offer a great deal of features that are necessary to doing business online. These features range from free shopping carts, applications for business use, mailing list software, SSL  certificates, and unlimited databases. Even if you don't have an ecommerce site, your site may still benefit from a secure area, or mailing list software.

Hope this helps!
