You need a web site to keep up in your competitive industry or marketplace, to provide information, or just to learn what it’s all about - but how to start?
Getting your company online is not difficult or time consuming at all. As part of our commitment to giving private to medium-sized businesses the tools and resources they need to succeed online, we have created this guide which will prove to be invaluable in assisting you with getting your new web site online.
First, you need a domain name.
The domain name is your unique presence Internet. An example of a domain name is www.thehostingfactory.com or www.google.com. Various website extensions can end in .com, .org or .gov. – among others. Check out our Domain page for more details on domain extensions. You also may want to browse this very helpful article about choosing creative, dynamic domain names.
If you do not already have a domain name, then you should start thinking about one! Once you have created a domain name that reflects your enterprise (and it’s not taken), you can register it - for FREE! The Hosting Factory offers .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .name and .us registration transfer for free when you purchase one year of hosting from us. Choose your domain name and The Hosting Factory will take care of the rest.
If you already have a domain name and want to use The Hosting Factory as your new hosting provider, you have following two options:
A. You need to change the nameservers of your domain name to our nameservers which are following:
