You do not need to pay to copyright your website. You simply assert your copyright. If you feel compelled, you can register your copyright with the relevent government department. While this can make it easier to defend against copyright infringment, it is not necessary. The copyright landscape has also eveolved with the addition of "open source" style copyrights which allow you to define the ways in wich your content can be freely used by other people. You can find information at the Creative Commons.
Ok, Great, so i basically put (c) My name, 2006, website URL. So is this under like my intellectual property rights?
Not really. Copyright protects your text and pictures from being used by someone else. It does not protect your ideas or intellectual property. If you write an article and another person writes an original piece about the exact same thing they have not infringed on your copyright. Even if you invented the idea. If you want to fully protect your "intellectual propety" do not publish.
