Now that you're here...
what do you do?
You've always wanted your own website... but never wanted to spend a fortune on it... and didn't really know enough to get it off the ground...
Nevermind... read on a little bit more and you'll end up having a pretty good idea of what it's all about.
There are three main components required to publish a website...
- You need to own the rights to a Domain Name. This essentially means that you have to rent the domain name from the appropriate authority. We try to keep it simple for you... you tell us the name you want; we order it from the right place. What the name ends in determines how many hoops you need to jump through to get it approved. To get the rights to a dotAU domain name, you'll need an ABN and meet certain other requirements. You can check out the details in "COM.AU Policy" here. Usually, it's a requirement that you rent a domain name for two years.
- You'll also need some space on a server that everyone can see using the internet. This is called having your site hosted. You'll find different hosting packages under "Hosting Stuff". If you're just starting out, the Standard cPanel or Cloud Package will definitely cover your needs. With 20 email addresses, every member of the family can have their own address. Lots of included tools to help build your site if you don't have a teenager to guide you.
- You need an idea of what you want your website to say to the world. This would be your reason for reading this far. It may be that you want to compete with Amazon.com or make your photos available for your family anywhere on the planet. You may just want the esteem that comes with a personalised email address. Whatever reason it is, that's your business. We can get you started, that's our business. Feel free to fire any questions our way using the 'First Contact' option (don't forget your email address if you'd like to hear back from us).
