Can you recommend a website exchange I can create an account and get started?

First you need to use fiat to get BTC or ETH. I recommend ETH because transaction speed and fees are faster and cheaper.

I recommend Gemini.com (Winklevoss twins involved in this company)

Then I recommend Bittrex.com and Binance.com for the top two exchanges right now. I can see Binance overtaking Bittrex eventually, it recently launched but has it's own coin and is going to become decentralized eventually.

Chiming in with one exchange I've used, Coinbase / GDAX , I think it might only be available if you're in the United States.
Using it from Australia here but you can't sell in Coinbase if in Aus so I have to send ETH/BTC/LTC to a local exchange (BTCMarkets) to withdraw $.
