Overview
Domain Names - Your Address on the Web
These days, everyone is talking about domain names
... and we all know that they take you to a web
site. But here is a little more information about
them:
| • |
Also known as ...
: Domain names are also called URLs,
web addresses, or just domains. |
| • |
Location, location,
location: For every domain name (yourbusiness.com),
there is an address number called an IP.
Think of this as the mailing address for
your website and mail. Even though it is
essential to have, you hardly ever see this
number. Instead, you use your domain name
which is easier to remember. What IP you
have is based on the server that is hosting
it as each server owns a block of IP addresses. |
| • |
Help on Search Engines:
Your domain name can help your site come
up higher in search engine results, so you
might want to consider registering another
name such as yourbusiness-whatyousell.com
for when someone does a search for what
you sell. You can have this second name
point to your other domain so both domain
names will take you to the same website.
|
| • |
Sub Domains:
These are a great way to organize your website
content. Normally, a website address (or
URL) starts with "www." which
is the default web folder. However, you
might want to have "products.yourdomain.com"
set up so that you can direct customers
to that address to find information specific
about your products. |
About Our Pricing
Our customers are welcome to register their domain
names themselves at companies such as GoDaddy.com

* Other extensions (such as .net or .org) may
be a different price. Additional years are available
at a discount. We will notify you of the actual
price when we register your name.
** A $10 administration fee is added to your invoice
to cover the cost of providing a hard copy invoice.
If you wish to avoid this fee, you can register
your domain name yourself.
*** Other additional fees may apply if there is
difficulty transferring your domain name from
another hosting company. It is essential for you
to obtain all related information for your domain
including any login information to allow access
to your registrant company. |
