Obtaining a website can be a confusing process. This blog will help you understand what you need to get and keep your website up and running. Every website has three major components, the web page themselves, a hosting package, and a domain name.

The website consists of all the pages and code that create what you see on your computer. Each page is different and can be from very simple to quite complex. Websites can vary in price from very inexpensive to quite costly depending on who creates your site. Please contact us regarding any quotes you have received from other companies for a comparison price.

The hosting package is where your web pages are stored on the internet. Just like when you save your resume to a folder on your computer, your web pages need to be stored somewhere so the public can access them. There are many companies that will host your website for you at a variety of prices. Make sure you do your research and get what you need. If you need assistance with your hosting package please feel free to contact us.

A domain name is a unique address that tells your customer where your website is located on the internet. A domain name is typed into your customers address bar to get to your website such as gr-webdesigns.com. A domain name is registered with a registrar that tells the customer where your website is stored. You must renew your registration yearly or you can by them for a longer period such as 5 years. If you need help registering your domain or have questions please feel free to contact us.
