To establish a professional presence on the internet I will provide the following services.
Establish an internet connection
Purchase a domain name
Develop a web site
Register site with a search engine and Web Directory
Establish an Internet Connection by this I do not mean you have to have an ISP, Internet Service Provider,
such as AOL or one of our local providers, LCONN or Chilitech. You can allow a Hosting Services host your web page.
The advantage, you can supply your own domain name in addition to other services such as maintenance back
up and running 24/7.
It is the responsibility of the website developer to design and create your website to attract search engines while at the same
time promote your business.
Your Domain Name
Small and New Business should not have to pay thousand's of dollars to establish a presence on the
internet.
There are several options you can take to maintain your web site for marketing on a budget or promoting a
grassroots marketing campaign on the internet. You can host your own site on your own
computer or pay a monthly fee for a web hosting service. Your cheapest option is to host your own site providing you
already have a DSL/Cable connection. However, a lot of Web Hosting services are poping up for less than $10.00 a month.
In addition, Domain Names have dropped in price considerably over the last few years. Instead of using the name
www.myCompany@aol.com you can purchase a name associated with your company - www.myCompany.com - for less than $10 a year!
Purchase a domain name would give your business a professional presence on the internet. Instead of
www.myCompany@aol.com you will have www.myCompany.com.
Domain names can be purchased from a registration services for as little as $10 a year or $20 for two years.
I recall several years ago the price was in the hundreds! There's simply no reason not to purchase your own domain name.
If you intend to host your own site you will need to translate the domain name to numbers (IP address) that the computer can understand.
This process is performed by the DNS servers that are usually provided by your ISP or Web Hosting Service. However, what they
wont tell you is that there are free DNS servers available such as ZoneEdit and
GraniteCanyon.
