Hello, I am a beginner in the process of building my website. I have browsed a few sites to see the steps to copyright the content of my website which would all be by me. Does anyone have any recommendations to companies that you have used before? Also, how do I create terms of service for my site?

Ideally, a Terms of Service would be drafted by an attorney. If that is not possible, you may want to look for free templates on-line.
In terms of copyrighting a web site, many people skip the step of officially registering the content and instead simply add a "Copyright 2008 Whatever Company. All Rights Reserved" statement or the like. You can, however, officially copyright the web site (the HTML code, I believe?) by filing an application with the U.S. Copyright Office.

Thank you for your help! What are their fees?

Any content on your site is protected by copyright.. unless you took it from someone else's site. You do not legally require any symbols on your work
The only purpose to filing a copyright is to recover legal fees in the event you successfully sue someone from violating your copyright. You do not limit your right to sue..nor to recover damages (but no legal fees)
The only way to give up any of your rights, is by issuing a creative common license... and that would be limited by the terms set forth.
Hope this helps :>)

You can find the fees here (http://www.copyright.gov/docs/fees.html).
It seems to be $35 per registration.

Thank you all for your help!!!! :)

The best deal with the US copyright service right now
is what they call ecobeta (electronic copyright office
beta). If you meet a few requirements, like the work
isn't published yet and is under a certain length, you
can use it. The fee is $35 and you can upload your file
electronically which saves registered mail fees.
You do have basic rights when you publish your own work
but have additional advantages doing the formal copyright.
You can sue for more and you pretty much just take your
copyright to court and you've won. I'm thinking of adding
to my little site copyright notice "fully and formally".
I've just done one and am not an expert in it, and am not
sure how much it is needed. One disadvantage to the formal
copyright is that if you make any changes at all to the
work it nullifies the copyright and you need to do it over
again. It must be a big moneymaker for the gov.

As for things like Terms of Service, etc, you can get a template and then customise it for your site. That way you are not wasting time re-inventing the wheel.

Ive often gone to bigger sites to see what they cover in their TOS and covered the same topics in mine. I dont however copy it word for word. If you imitate the major players though, you can be pretty confident that your TOS is up to standard.

Yeah alot of people have told me to just go to other (professional) sites, and make your TOS 'inspired' by theirs..
