If you are new to web technologies and are perplexed with too much information available on the net about the subject, this page will clarify your confusion by explaining the three most important things without which you can not get your brand online.
   
The Domain Name

The domain name is like a phone number. Just as your customer dials your phone number to reach your office or shop, he will type in your domain name to the get to your website.

In fact, a domain name is nothing but an (Internet Protocol or IP) address which is a number that tells the user's internet browser about where the website is exactly located (which server).From a business standpoint, a domain name presents a branding opportunity; if you can acquire YourCompanyName.com that is the best form of a domain name a business could get.

If you are struggling to find the right domain name, mail us your needs and we would be glad to come up with some good (available) options for you to choose from (pro bono of course).

Domains Mafia is a division of Webventurous which offers over 40 domain extensions for you to choose from at competitive pricing. Get started here . More Domain Name questions answered here
 
 
The Hosting

Often, there is confusion about whether one can do only with a domain name registration or if a hosting package is a requirement.
The answer to that question is yes and no. If you are serious about setting up your website, it is more likely that you will opt for your own web hosting space on a secure server which is configured to suit your website needs. If not, you will most likely opt for a 'free for all' service which could largely affect your brand name by showing advertisements on your webpage. Moreover, there is no guarantee of quality if it's available for free is there?

Your company can rent shared hosting space on a server (as most companies do) or opt for your own dedicated server. While dedicated servers bring with them additional IT personnel and support costs, companies which rely on crucial financial or customer data would prefer such an investment over a shared hosting space for greater security. Most shared hosting packages available these days are quite secure and guarantee a 99.99% uptime. In our experience, two most important determining factors for choosing the right hosting package should be the configuration of the server available and the support available upon purchase as it is very likely that you will want to speak to your hosting company from time-to-time for upgrades, maintenance or configuration issues.

Webventurous proudly hosts over 50 websites and our expedite support team helps our customers when they need it and however they need it - over phone, e-mail or chat. Start at Domains Mafia to opt for our Ultimate Unlimited hosting package.
