.com and .co.uk domains are the most common and are therefore the most limited in availability,
it's a nice idea to buy both of the popular variations for your business (we own both websitemad.com and websitemad.co.uk).
Once we have helped you choose your domain name(s) and registered it, it can be configured to set up your e-mail addresses, you don't want to go on using your personal Hotmail or Yahoo address on your new website now, do you?
Once you own a domain name, you can use that as part of your new e-mail address. Far more professional to have sales@websitemad,com, for example, than john.williams@mail.fsnet.co.uk, don't you think?
Once your website has been completed it will need to be hosted on a computer, known as a server, that is connected to the Internet 24 hours a day. This is so that your visitors can access the site to download your pages for viewing.
There are thousands of free hosting services available and for many small companies, they feel that using the free webspace provided by their ISP is a safe option. In reality, these servers can be slow or unreliable or be plastered with banners or other advertising. If the server is slow to respond and the pages take too long to download, your potential clients will think nothing of moving on to the next website, after all, it is only two clicks away.
So, that's your own domain name, a new professional looking e-mail address and hosting for your website, and it can all be done for a lot less money than they tell you elsewhere on the internet!
