what we do
We often get asked the same questions by different customers, so we thought putting it all together on our site for all to access would be helpful:
Q: Where do I start? I have a name for my company in mind, but now what!!?
A: OK, first thing is to make sure it is available as a website, for eg. www.thenameyouwant.com
You then need to register it as soon as possible, so that you know you can use it. Nothing worse than having a great name, a logo etc. and then the website name isn’t available! You secure it by registering the Domain Name at a registrar, like:
www.godaddy.com
www.register.com
www.aplus.net
Do not pay more than about $10 a YEAR to register the name.
Q: I have the website name registered. Now what?
A: Now you need to have a host for your site. The store your pages on their servers for you which makes your website available to the public. They vary in price according to what they offer you. You need to make sure they offer what you need.
You can pay something between $4.95 – $49.95 a month on a host. We offer 2 hosting plans – Basic Hosting and Semi-Dedicated…ask for details.
