Getting Started
With Your Own Website
What do you need to do to start your web site?
Hosting Provider
The first essential ingredient is a computer to host your
site. This computer must have a permanent high-speed data
connection and server software. Due to the expense and expertise needed to
acquire, install, and maintain a server and its connection to the internet, most
companies utilize the services of a web hosting provider (sometimes called
Internet Service Provider). The web hosting provider can distribute the cost of
maintaining the server among several clients, making web hosting affordable for
everyone.
Content
The second thing you will need is content for your web
site. We can design your web site or transfer your current site from
another provider. If
you choose us for your hosting, we will set up a basic web site to your
specifications at a reduced charge.
Domain Name
The third thing that you should consider is getting your own domain name. A domain name is a friendly internet address.
For example, hosenose.com,
winderpestcontrol.com,
ustowerservices.com, or
scenicrc.org.
There are many advantages to having your own
domain. It will be easier for your customers to remember your web
address. It will give you an unlimited number of email addresses (for
example, sales@yourdomain.com or dennis@yourdomain.com).
As long as you pay the annual registration fee, your web address and email
address will never change, even if you change service providers or get your own
server.
You can choose any domain you want that isn't already taken by
someone else. We can assist you in selecting and registering a
domain, or you may do it yourself using an online vendor of your choice.
