most bands and artists who have paid for websites have labels to back them up
myspace
youtube
facebook/reverb nation
blogs
in your songwriting thread (in the SONGWRITING forum)

Well, I agree youtube is free, but obviously having your website is better.

idk, at least I really want to have my own blog or personal page. and I saw free templates... idk where you saw that price.....

those templates are for sale as I saw. You first need to be famous to have a website, otherwise nobody will visit it, and even if you decide to have a website it is better to build it yourself than to pay for a template. I mean, if you buy one of those templates how can you be sure that there aren't other artists using the very same template?

if the template costs that much than most likely you're also buying the rights to it

^ True. Usually web templates are cheaper if you don't buy exclusivity, and way more if you do.

In any case though, if you have any type of success with your music, it's usually a good idea to have your own web site (professionally designed, or at least looking like it) for folks to buy merch, albums, etc and refer to apart from Myspace and Youtube.
Even if you're not planning on selling all that, it's a lot easier to advertise www.whoeverband.com... and just having a site alone might grab more attention when promoting your band. Not to mention you have complete control of all your material and how things are done.
A lot of people start their own digital record labels in this way.

Myspace, Facebook Fan page and a blog are all most netlabels have nowadays. Of course most of them just promote DnB.
