Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I am very much a beginner when it comes to web design and it leaves me frustrated and tired. So I need a good, affordable hosting company that has a free sitebuilder that is EASY and allows adsense ads.
I found hostgators sitebuilder to be a complete headache, i constantly ran in to errors and even tech support was having a hard time with some of it.
Any (REAL) suggestions (please no affiliates).
THANKS in advance!!
