What is a URL or Domain name.....

Your domain name is your address on the internet.

Actual internet locations are identified by an IP address, 212.87.43.22 for example - the network address of a computer connected to the internet.

These numbers are translated into words - domain names - to make them easier to remember.

All domain names are unique, as they refer to unique internet addresses.....

i.e. www.yourcompanynamehere.com

Costs usually run about $10/year.

 

Hosting... (where your website files are stored and linked to the world wide web.)

Most sites reside on 'rented' space which we will be happy to arrange for you. Costs range from $50/year and up which includes unique email addresses which are accessible on the inernet from any location.

How do files get to my web site?
We upload your files which are transferred to the web server using an FTP program (File Transfer Protocol). You can download a program for either the PC or Mac from our site. Cute FTP is a shareware FTP program, available from cuteftp.com . An FTP tutorial is available for first time users. Microsoft FrontPage users can 'publish' their sites to our server and should not use FTP.

Can I update my site often?
You have unlimited access to your site 24-hours a day. As such, you can maintain your web pages on your own computer at your leisure. You can change and update your site as often as you want to.

An easy
management tool...

Another easy to use solution for editing your site is to use Adobe Contribute, which is a simple to use program that can be purchased for under $150 online if you have no programming experience. This is the preferred choice for most of our clients
