What will your web address be?
You'll want one that reflects the name of your business - or what you do - as closely as possible.
Sometimes the web address you really want has already been taken. Fortunately, I can come up with ideas and advice on getting another one that suits you - and arrange to register it for you.
Registering a domain name doesn't cost much, and you only have to do it every two years.
Some hosting companies and web design companies offer what is called 'free parking' - giving you the domain name for free. Beware.
5th Column web design always recommends you to make sure the domain name is registered to you. This means you are free to move to another host - or web designer - quite easily.
If I register a domain name or web hosting package on your behalf, I will always do it in your name, giving you the security of knowing that you have complete ownership of your own website.
