How Do I Get My Own Web Site
If you've looked around the web lately, you may be thinking that everyone else
has a web site except you. Well, here's a quick primer to getting an online
presence.
Site Content
Domain name
Hosting
Site Content
What is the purpose of your site? As you've seen from roaming the internet
there are many sites with little value out there. Maybe you have an idea for
a new online business or just want to put up a personal site with interesting
information. The most successful sites have content that is unique and interesting.
Most people get on the internet to find out some type of information. If you
can provide needed information it will build traffic to your site.
Domain Name
The domain name is your identifier on the internet. It is linked to an IP
address (ie. 208.62.153.83) so that people can actually find your site without
remembering a string of numbers. Choose a domain name that is appropriate
and descriptive of what your site is all about. A year ago domain names had
to be registered for 2 years minimum at a cost of $70 per year. Now the prices
range from $20 to $50 per year.
Hosting
Now you need a place to actually put your site. Most internet service providers
provide free areas to there members for web sites. These are usually small
and quite limited in their features. When you decide to move up to a more
professional sized site with more features they usually charge between $45
and $100 per month. That is where dedicated web hosting companies can provide
greater value. Check out our features and hosting
plans.
