Are You Ready To Put Your Business On The World
Wide Web?
Introducing Inet7s New Ventures Hosting Package: "Meeting
the Internet Challenges of Startups and Individuals".
-Kenneth R Taylor - President, Inet7 Internet
Services, Inc.
Once you have made the decision to put your company on the Web,
there are many questions that need answering. The most important
issues are covered in this article and relate to Domain names,
Web Site Design, E-mail and Web Site Hosting. Through our experiences
with nearly 3,000 customer's today, we have developed a service
that addresses each of these issues so you can start today, next
week or whenever you are ready to put information about your company
or services on the Web, allowing your customers to find you.
The single biggest advantage of having a website is providing
an almost "unlimited" amount of information about your
company to your customers and prospective customers. Take advantage
of this idea by placing your web address in your yellow-page ads,
business cards, letterheads and any other 'traditional' forms
of advertising you do and you will see results. We
have helped many Brick-and-Mortar and construction companies cut
their advertising costs by 95%!

Domain Names
Let's begin by talking about Domain names. A domain name is the
www address specifically assigned to your company. Your customers
will type this in their Internet browser to find you and they
will be directed to your web site information.
Questions To Consider:
- What should my name be?
- Is it available?
- Who should I register it with?
- How Much do they cost?
Answer:
Inet7 has installed utilities to help you search and purchase
available domain names for your business or personal use. Ideally,
you should choose a name that associates with your company name,
brand or services. Normally domain names are $19/per year, but
with our New Ventures hosting package, it is included in
the price to get started. (you will be asked to renew for $19
the following year). You can click on this Link
to search for available domains!

Creating a Web Site
Now that you have a domain name, the next step is designing a
web site that presents the desired message and information to
your customers.
Questions To Consider:
- Who will develop the web site?
- Can interested visitors contact me directly from my site?
- Will it cost hundreds or maybe thousands to make changes to
my site?
Answer:
As part of the New Ventures hosting package, Inet7 offers a web
site creator called Site Builder. Site Builder is a program accessed
through our web site with a username and password (the username
and password is what distinguishes you from all the other sites
built with Site Builder). Once logged in, you will be asked to
choose a color and layout scheme that you like best. There are
literally hundreds Website Templates and combinations that you
can mix and match, but you will most likely see one that jumps
out at you right away.
Once you have chosen a "theme" for your site, you may
begin adding pages and content with user friendly buttons and
easy forms to fill out. Within minutes, you have just created
a web site for your company. What's more, at anytime, day or night...you
can log in and make changes to your site and add more pages and
information with no additional costs.
We can also help you through this process as well. With a simple
phone call, we gather information to understand your business
or website needs and build it for you!

Web Site Hosting Services
Every web site on the Internet is "hosted" or displayed
on the Internet by a "web hosting company". Your web
site files are displayed from a server whenever someone asks for
your domain name. Choosing a web-host, can be difficult as there
are many questions to consider:
Questions:
- Who should I host my web site with?
- Are they a good company to work with?
- Do they have good customer support?
- Can they support my web site?
- Can I expand to include more, or different, services?
- Am I locked into any long-term contracts?
Answer:
With the New Ventures hosting package, web site hosting is included.
We designed the secure website hosting environment to work precisely
with the web site builder so they match up perfectly.
When selecting a web hosting partner, it is important to work
with a trusted, responsive company who will be available when
you need them. We recommend that you contact an experienced and
trusted Internet Service Provider who is available in the "traditional
sense" - a company you can reach anytime by phone, e-mail,
or even stop by their office to view their operation. Inet7 embodies
these attributes and carries them forward to provide the highest
quality service to our customers.
"Availability" is one of our key words at Inet7. It
applies to our network and our customer support. Read what our

E-mail Services
The final piece is relating to e-mail. The real value of e-mail
is from a marketing or branding perspective. When a user sends
an e-mail to [email protected] or if they receive e-mail
from [email protected] it will add credibility to your
business operations. The second advantage of having e-mail for
[email protected] is that it will never change. You can
feel comfortable printing and distributing these e-mail addresses
for various staff members without worrying about changing ISP's.
Questions:
- Will my e-mail address have my domain in it?
- Will there be enough e-mail addresses for everyone?
- Can I add more e-mail addresses if I need to?
- Do I need Web-based e-mail or can I use my mail program?
Answer:
Through our New Ventures package, your e-mail will be branded
to your organization. Using the e-mail address format of [email protected]
will enable you to instantly relay your company's web address
on it with every e-mail!
Every e-mail account can be accessed either via the web OR downloaded
with your existing mail program. E-mail accessed through the web
includes additional features including access to an online control
panel for easy addition or deletion of e-mail accounts at your
leisure.
I hope you've found this article helpful and informative. With
