Domain name registration
The website's domain name is what most people refer to as a "website address", such as "www.yourcompanyname.com". Website domain names are registered through separate companies known as domain registrars. I can assist you in registering a domain name with the proper organization, and also help you choose a name that will help customers find your website more easily. I strongly suggest using a reputable registrar such as No-IP, rather than one of the "discount" companies. You will pay a few dollars more per year (about $35), but it can save you a lot of hassle in the long run.
