Where do I start? What do I need to do?
To make it as easy as possible, you start by answering a few questions about your design preferences, your business objectives and your ideas for your website. An initial design is then made as a starting point and the website then develops form there. This website building process diagram will help you understand better.
What is a Domain Name ?
Domain name is the address that users will enter in their web browser (like Internet Explorer or Netscape) to access your web site. For example this site's domain name is WebHostingRatings.com. ".com" extension (called TLD, top-level domains) is most common for commercial web sites. Indian specific websites use ".in" extension and is more popular now than .com in India. Non-profit organizations might prefer using .org, universities usually use .edu, government sites use .gov. ICANN (organization responsible for such matters) approved new TLDs in November 2000, including .biz, .info, .name, .museum, .coop, .areo, and .pro. Rules for registering domains with those TLDs vary, see http://www.internic.net/faqs/new-tlds.html for more info. Other domains like .tv are also available - most commonly they were originally assigned to small countries or provinces and subsequently sold to companies that offer them to everybody.
Who owns the Domain Name?
The minimum period for which a domain name can be registered is 1 year. You need to make sure to renew a domain name before it expires, or you may lose it to somebody. You own domain for the period of your registration and once the domain gets expired and if you fail to renew the domain name the domain name will be released to public again after the grace period. One can register a domain name to the maximum of 10 Years.
How long should I register my domain name for?
You can register your domain name in 1, 2, 5, 10 years, depending on the registrar and extension (e.g. .com, .net) of the domain. Regardless of the length a domain is previously registered, the owner may extend the registration before it expires. The length of notice available to renew a domain before it expires depends on the domain name's current registrar. Therefore, registering for a longer period may be more convenient (so one does not have to re-register as frequently). Some domain name registrars offer lower prices on longer registration periods as an incentive to keep the customer for a longer period of time.
How long will my website design take?
Your website design is started as soon as you give the go ahead and it can finished in as little as 7 days - although in reality it takes longer because of the time it will take you to write the content.
Can I see my website during the design?
Yes, you can watch your website design as it happens, you get a private web address to access it. You will be able to try out every page, review the content and give feed back at every stage of the website design and it's never to late to change something - right up to launch day.
Will my website be in Google?
Your website will be search engine optimised to the max, but this still doesn't guarantee you a place on page one of Google or other search engines. However all of the key components of search engine optimisation are built into your website utilising the most up-to-date techniques available, giving you the best chance of success.

Hosting (also known as Web site hosting, Web hosting, and Webhosting) is the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for one or more websites. More important than the computer space that is provided for website files is the fast connection to the Internet. Most hosting services offer connections on T1 lines.
