web hosting

STEP 1: Choose and register a domain name - We offer a series of research tools to help you find a name that will best describe your website. This name (what we call a domain name) is how people will find you when they go onto the world wide web. Once you have found the right name for your website and you are sure it is available to purchase CLICK HERE!  Once you have your domain name move on to step 2.

STEP 2: Find a company to host your website - It is one thing to register your domain name but it is equally important to attach that name to a web server with your favorite web hosting company so you have a place to put up your website. Each company has a wide range of web hosting plans to choose from depending on your needs and requirements.  Are you planning to sell goods online?  Is your site just going to be a online brochure of just a few pages?  What is your budget?  There are companies that offer free web page hosting, usually they require you to display advertising banners on your site.

STEP 3: Build and design your website -  To do this you may want to buy a program like Microsoft Frontpage, Adobe Golive or Macromedia Dreamweaver to help you design and build your website.  Or you could hire a professional web designed to design your site for you.  When your web pages are complete you will then upload them to your web hosting company for all the world to see!

STEP 4: Advise us about your new web hosting company - Once you select your web host we will need to update your domain to point at your new site.  To do this we will need to know the primary and secondary name servers of your hosting company.  They will provide you with this information.
