Web Site Design and Hosting
A site on the World Wide Web has
two components. The actual web pages and the computer (or
server) which makes those pages visible on the Internet. LRZone
will provide a free consultation to discuss the type of site you need.
We will create your pages, add programming code where required,
load your site on a server and make sure all of your links are working
properly. Maintenance involves keeping your pages up to date and
making changes when necessary. Your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) may allocate free space on their server for you to use with your
dial-up Internet access account, however they may not offer all the
necessary features. If you wish to use that space, we can
upload your pages for you or help you upload them yourself. If
you need more space, LRZone does offer packages for web hosting.
Internet Service Provider (ISP)
As we've stated above, your web
site will be made available by a server. However, you must have
internet access to view them. It is not required to have
internet access, or even a computer, to have a web site.
Internet access is only necessary if YOU need to use the web. I
recently had the opportunity to speak with a misinformed business
owner. He stated "we have a web site, but we don't use
it." He missed the point--the web site is there for you to
bring in more customers, get more orders, or provide your clients with
more information.
Domain Names
A domain name is a name you
choose to distinguish your site on the Internet. You must apply to
InterNIC, the agency that issues domain names, in order to register
your choice. We suggest you choose a domain name that is
identical or similar to your business name followed by .com. Then, customers
familiar with your business name can quickly find you on the Web.
LRZone does not charge to check the availability of your name and
process the application for you as part of your Web site design
package. After we place your application, InterNIC will send you a
bill of $70. Their fee covers domain name registration for two
years. Thereafter you will pay $35 per year. The domain
name is not yours until you pay the fee. It will be suspended
and canceled by InterNIC for non-payment after 60 days. You can
register directly with InterNIC yourself. However, you must have
an active account on a host/server in order to do so. If you
choose not to register a domain name, we can host your site as a
canonical domain (domain.lrzone.com) with no InterNIC fee. Use
the InterNIC
Whois Interface to check availability. If
