Domain name
|
|
A domain name provides you a unique
identity on the internet . . . It gives people an easy
way to find you and communicate, unlocking the powerful hosting
features of today's world wide web. Once you find an available domain
name that suits you, you can register it for 1-10 years. Then you
can get a web hosting account, and use your domain for your email,
website, and marketing.
A domain name should be an easy-to-remember name that describes
you, your company, or products, etc. A short descriptive domain
may be hard to find, since most of the best ones have already been
registered. A good domain name is the 1st step in setting up your
online presence. More info in our Domain
Names Frequently Asked Questions .
|
| Domain
Pointers - Parked Domains |
You can have more than one domain name "Parked"
on your server, pointed to your homepage. This will enable you to
use the same website with more than one domain name. Additional domain
names cannot point to a sub-directory of your virtual server, for
that you would need an "Addon" Domain.
|
| Addon
Domains |
|
An Addon Domain can be assigned to a Subdomain of your website,
so you can point any additional domain you own to go directly to
a certain part of your Site! This is just like having 2 websites
in one!
All of our hosting plans come with Subdomains (except the Starter
plan) which allow you to create a website within a website ... http://shopping.yahoo.com
is a good example - shopping is a Subdomain
of yahoo.com
Note: for an Addon Domain to
work, we will need to issue you an IP address.
|
| Domain
name registration |
|
The 1st Step to getting a website is having a Domain Name registered
in your name, which provides an easy internet address for your website
and email. You should try to find a Domain that describes your business,
products, or company name. Simple names with 1 or 2 keywords in
them are most desirable (ours is 2serveU.net).
It's hard to find a desirable Domain Name that is available when
40,000 names are registered every day, but you can use a hyphen
between words "your-web.com"
or add numbers ... (ex. limo.com is
taken, but limo1.com isn't)
Once you Find a good Domain Name, REGISTER IT
IMMEDIATELY!

Solutions, etc... plus we will GIVE YOU a FREE MONTH OF HOSTING
and DISCOUNT YOUR MONTHLY FEE $1 - SAVING YOU $12 /year, so the
actual price of your Domain is ONLY $2.95 /yr. READ
