Website Hosting

Many small businesses startup without an Internet presence. In today’s market, an Internet presence is a requirement to reach a larger audience of potential clients/customers. It also supplements your advertising dollars and provides potential clients an easy way to gain access to much more information about your products, services, prices and business.

By putting your internet address on your business cards and
advertisements, your potential customers can access more information about your business from the comfort of their homes.

We assist small businesses by providing our expertise to assist you in establishing your presence on the Internet for the $ you can afford.

Domain Name Registration

Having a Domain Name is a requirement for a presence on the Internet. The Domain Name is a pointer (address) to your website.

The domain name should be easy to remember, easily associated with your business and available for procurement from a Domain Registrar. For example, if your business is called “Auto Parts”, the likelihood of
“www.autoparts.com” being available is unlikely. However, if your business is called “Murphy Auto Parts Shop”, the likelihood of
“www.murphyautopartsshop.com” being available is good.

It is very important to decide on a domain name and, if that name is available, register your desired domain name as soon as possible. If you select us to do your Hosting & Website maintenance, we will acquire your domain name and provide a hosting solution for you. If you already have a domain name, we will assist you in transferring it to the selected hosting site.

Hosting Considerations

When selecting a hosting service, several important factors must be considered. Some of these are:

• Security
• Uptime
• 24/7 Customer Service
• E-mail accounts
• Disk Storage
• Monthly traffic allowed
• Cost
• Backup

We use proven hosting companies for your website. The total fees vary based on the need for eCommerce and/or database(s) to collect
information. Since we do primarily non-eCommerce websites for Small Businesses, we recommend a less expensive hosting solution using reputable hosting companies that guarantee the above considerations are handled appropriately.
