Website Basics

Domain Registration

Just in case...here are a few website basics.  First, you'll need to register a domain name (such as www.yoursite.com).   Jay's Web Design will register your domain name for you, if you haven't already.  Generally this will cost you about $15/year.

Web Hosting by Jay's Web Design

You will need a website host for your site - this is a service where your site is published to a hosting company that puts your site, designed and developed by Jay's Web Design, actually on the internet highway. 

If you prefer a commercially hosted website (most people do), Jay's Web Design offers yearly web hosting from only $259/year, that's around $22/month!  If you shop around, you'll find that's a price that's hard to beat.

You may have some free space with your ISP (internet services provider), especially if you have a cable modem or DSL.  Jay's Web Design can publish your site to your free space, however be aware that there are serious SEO issues that you should discuss with Jay's Web Design first.  Your site may not be listed in search engines like Google & Yahoo when published to free space.
