What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is your address on the Internet. A domain name looks like www.yourname.com, and it can include the name of your company if it's available. It's best to have your domain name before starting your website. We can help you choose your domain name and help you register it.
What is hosting?
Hosting is the method used to house, serve, and maintain your website files. Usually, the hosting company charges a monthly fee payable a year in advance. The fee is dependent upon the amount of space your site requires. Normally, the average website needs very little server space, and the fee is quite small (anywhere from $6 to $10 per month). This amount is minimal compared to other forms of advertising and the benefits to be derived from a well-designed website.
