It seems that everywhere you turn these days, someone is
directing you to their web site. If you are interested in creating a presence on the
Internet for your business, club or organization, or even if you want to
post a web site for your family, we can help you reach that goal. There
are three basic components to making your web site a reality: 1)
obtaining a domain name, 2) finding a "host" to house your
site, and 3) creating and maintaining your site. Obtaining
a domain name:
A domain name is the address, name or URL (Universal Resource Locator)
of a web site. For example, we are www.4thcc.com.
Site extensions available to US residents include .com, .org, .net,
.biz, .cc, .us and .info. Many groups are involved with the
registering of domain names. The first step is to see if the
domain name you are interested in is available. If it is, you can
apply for the name and it becomes yours. This usually costs from
$10 to $35 a year, but some services will pay that cost for you if you
contract with them to host your site, at least for the first year. Finding a host:
There are literally thousands of businesses who provide space on their
computer servers for clients to place their web pages. For as
little as $45 a year, you can find a home for your business,
organization, club, family or individual web site. Creating and maintaining your site:
In the "old days" this was a major issue. Writing raw
code was a time consuming, specialized task. Today there are many
authoring programs that make most of these tasks quite bearable.
If you do not have the expertise or desire to do this, many people
provide this service. We will get you on-line, usually
within a few days. We will register your domain, analyze your
needs and contract for a host that will provide the services you need
for a reasonable cost. We will also create and maintain your web
site, again at a reasonable, competitive rate. We specialize in
web sites for small businesses, communities, clubs and
organizations. Contact us today and your web site will soon be a
reality. Our rates are competitive. |
