I'm your guy. Webdesign was about 50% of my uni education and I have always designed our own stuff (website, logo, merch) and also pushed the band on pretty much every platform possible. We're even on Spotify etc.
I can recommend the following:
A very basic one-page website with your artistname.com as url. Buy the domainname + hosting at whatever company sounds decent, and if you want to go DIY there are a lot of free wordpress templates you can use to build your own site, most of them even more extensive than you need. Find a template that fits your needs, adjust the colours, upload a logo and that's it. To make things really effective I recommend thinking of one main goal for your website. What do you want people to do there? Do you want to have them stream an mp3? Make that prominent. Do you want them to contact you for shows? Make a contact button prominent. Is it a YouTube video you want them to watch? MAKE THAT PROMINENT!
Youtube is your friend. MySpace is... pretty dead, I wouldn't bother. Soundcloud works for nifty and quick links to your music, and also to easily fill up that wordpress template with mp3 streams if you choose to use wordpress. Also Facebook because everyone's on it and friends and family will be the first to spread the word.
Hope that helps : )
