Hosting Questions
Website Hosting is best explained as a "Rent
Payment". You need a place to store all your stuff. In this case,
you need a place to store your information (your website) for public access
on the internet. Your website will be stored on a computer called a
"server". The server sends out the files from your website when the
information is requested by someone visiting your website. The
Server where your website will be stored runs 24 hours a day 7 days
a week and has a 99.8% uptime. This means that your site will run
smoothly and load quickly for your visitors. We will place your
website with only leading reputable hosting companies at competitive
affordable prices.
Website Hosting costs on
average less than $10 per month.
The Server where your website will be stored runs 24 hours a day 7
days a week and has a 99.8% uptime. This means that your site
will run smoothly and load quickly for your visitors. Beware of
"fly-by-nite" hosting services! Nothing is more aggravating
than paying a company for a years worth of hosting only to find an
error message like this "404 Error - Page not found" , you won't
be making any sales that way!
See our
HOSTING web-page where you can get set-up
right online if you already have your own website. Simply
contact us with your
information either by phone or using our contact form and we'll
gladly assist you.
Domain Name Questions
A Domain Name is better
known as a "Website Address." Your chosen Domain Name is registered
with a Domain Name registrar that keeps track of who owns domain
names. We will check to see if your chosen domain
name is available and will make recommendations to you before the
name is registered or we'll handle obtaining one for you. There are
many reasons for this and we strongly advise our customers to let us
assist in making this decision as there are many factors to take
under consideration.
We will
register your domain name for you manually. This is done to avoid
errors and to be sure the domain name being considered will benefit
you.
If you are having us design
your site and host your site, the registration is absolutely free
for the first year. Then there is only a $15.00 per year domain name
registration fee yearly thereafter. If you switch to another Hosting
service, this fee is increased as we are not in the business of providing Domain Name registration services
only.
We strongly advise our
clients to let us assist in the decision of which domain name to
register.
After you place an order for a website, we will assist you
with the Domain Name selection and register it manually for you.
Yes. It's a common marketing
tool used these days to have several different Domain Names that
will lead to your same original website. You can have as many
different Domain Names as you want. There are promotional reasons
for this as well. If you are interested in multiple Domain Names, we
strongly advise our clients to let us assist in the decision of
which domain names to register.

will gladly meet with you personally or you may send us any text,

solutions that most times wind up costing money with little if any
results. Let us handle it for you.
