If you are looking for Web Hosting services to establish your web presence, there are some things that you should know before jumping in at full throttle.  We have the knowledge, expertise, and tools to help achieve your goal!  Whether you intend to start a personal web site, or if you intend to create a web site for your business, we can help along the way.

Selecting and registering your Domain Name is one of the first steps in the process.  For personal users, this can be difficult if you are trying to establish a simple eye-catching phrase.  There are many people who make a business of registering Domain name rights, then selling them off to the highest bidder!  The good news is that generally speaking... If you have an already established company name, then you are well on your way!

Maybe you aren't ready to publish your web site yet, but you want to reserve your Domain name for future use.  We have established an affiliate relationship with Network Solutions which allows you to register your domain name . Yahoo! also provides registration services for your domain name. This will ensure your domain name is reserved and available when you are ready to put it to use!

Select a Web Hosting provider.  After your Domain name is established, then it's time to select a web hosting provider.  Searching for a hosting company can be a difficult process, just because there are so many companies, options, and pricing plans available.  Even someone with a good web hosting skill set could stumble around... 

For a personal web site or a small business presence, you should be able to locate a Web Hosting Company at prices close to $10 per month (if you pay for the year in advance).  If you design and maintain the web pages yourself, then there are few (if any) additional expenses.

Large businesses and those requiring more complex and advanced web capabilities should expect to pay more for web hosting.  You may even require web site design help along with someone to maintain and update the web pages. This can result in much higher costs.  However, having your own web site can mean attracting additional customers that are far removed from your traditional customer base.  That can mean increased sales for your business!

Submit your web site URL to search engines.  After your web site has been designed and established, you will want to make sure your web site is visible on the major search sites like Yahoo and Google.  You can do this manually on your own, but it is very time consuming to visit every site and input your data.  There are MANY sites that can help in submitting your URL to the hundreds of various web search engines.  Some of these sites are FREE and others charge a fee.  You will have to determine which are best based on how much you have budgeted. 

The final thing you will need to consider is building links to your web site to improve your search ranking, and optimizing your web site for search engines. Check our web design tips and Search Engine Optimization info.
