3 Parts To A Website
Domain Name
Also know as the "URL", Website Address or www.Website Files
All the text, photos, graphics and behind the scenes stuff that make up your Website.Hosting
The special computer or "server" that all your Website files are uploaded to.How do I get a domain name (www.whatever.com)?
A "domain name" or "URL" is the unique address that people will type into their browser to go directly to your Website. For example, the domain name for this Web site is www.websitesbymark.com. After deciding on a name and a few alternatives, (you'll be surprised what's already taken!) the name will need to be checked for availability, registered and paid for. This is something you can easily do yourself at one of the many available online registrars for around $12.00 per year. As your Web site designer I will guide you through the domain name purchase.
