Some web site basics

We're ready to make your site stand out. Here's what you'll need:

A domain name

This is the name of your web site, just as ours is called estrellastudios.com. This step is very important because you want a domain name that will be easy for people to remember, while reflecting the professional image of your business. This is the name you'll be promoting in your marketing materials, including business cards, signage and advertising. Hint: Try to keep it short. Long domain names not only hard to remember, they're also a pain for prospective clients to type in.

Let's find a good one

We'll first head over to Instant Domain Search so you can see what's available. Once you're on the site, just type in what you feel is the most important word in your business. For example, if you wanted to see if puppies.com was available, you would type in puppies. After typing that word, you'd see that the ".com" version is not available -- and more times than not, you want a .com site name. Change that search to "orangepuppies" and you'll see that orangepuppies.com is available, and it's easy to imagine why.

Let's register

Next, we need to register the domain so that it's yours. Registering a domain name typically costs $10 to $24 per year. We can handle it for you at a cost of just $12 per year -- and even less if we host your site (see below).

Hosting

Your site requires computer space on a server, and that's where visitors from around the world or around your neighborhood will access your site. Hosting is more complicated than just setting up your domain name. Hosting fees often run up to $300 a year and are the hidden costs of companies offering cheap domain names. In our effort to provide one-stop shopping for getting you online, we charge just $12 per month. Included in that price is:

• up to 100 different e-mail accounts
• 1 free domain name (saving you $12 per year)
• 50 gigabytes of hosting space (enough to handle the most intensive web sites)
• e-mail support
• e-mail autoresponders
• mailing lists
• FTP access
• and more!

As you can see, from design to domain names, registering to hosting, Estrella Studios can handle it all for you .
