Web Hosting and Domain Names

A website is a number of datafiles. These files must be stored on a webserver connected to the Internet. You can have your own server or use your Internet Service Provider. More and more people realize the benefits of using web hosting services. They offer plenty of features at a reasonable price.
Our recommendation is to choose a web host with care!

To Choose Virtual Web Hosting

A web site is a number of datafiles. These files are stored in a computer (web server) connected to the Internet. You can have your own web server or use your Internet Service Provider if they offer that service. More and more people realize that renting space on a web server at a web hosting company is the way to go. In doing so, you get access to many services and technologies at a reasonable price. You don't have to transfer your site when you choose a new Internet Service Provider.

There are an infinite number of services to choose between. We compared many web hosts before we were convinced that a "full service" host for US 20 per month was the best host for us. Later we changed to internetplanners.com and reduced the monthly cost to only 6 dollars. We have only good things to say and are willing to share our experience with you.

We considered:

• Features

• Price

• Service

A Good Domain Name is Descriptive

There are 2 important advantages to having your own domain name:

• You can move your site or change your Internet service provider and at the same time maintain information in search engines and business cards.

• You get permanent E-mail addresses like name@mycompany.com.

Before you register a domain name you must ensure that it is available.

TradeName.com is an invaluable service for any person or business that wishes to own or trademark a name, domain name, logo or tag line. TradeName.com focuses on worldwide trademark search and registration of names, domain names, logos and tag lines.

Ways to register:

• Do it yourself. Go to sites listed at www.icann.org . You need web hosting to point the name to.

• Register and park (point to) the name.

• Register the name when you sign up for web hosting. Beware of hosts that register themselves as Administrative Contact or as the Registrant (owner of the name).
