SEO or how to make your webpage come up in Google
by JF on Feb.17, 2009, under search engine optimisation
To start with let me say this, “DON’T TRY TO CHEAT!” Any SEO plan you’re thinking about cannot include plans to cheat the Google system. Anyway you’re thinking about cheating, someone has probably already tried. Google has a team of brilliant people fighting this as a full time job. You might be smart, but they’ve got you out numbered.
What is hosting? Do I need it?
by JF on Feb.06, 2009, under FAQ
Yes. Hosting is where your website is stored, to be accessed worldwide thru the internet. What we do is upload the website we created for you on one of our hosting servers, or, if need be, on the current one you want to continue using. From there, it is easy to make local changes, such as adding news, pictures, videos, and anything else that needs updating, tweaking, or even greater modifications on your website. It is important that all this information be available 24/7 to your audience, and a good hosting server is thus important. We do not recommend in-house servers unless you really know what you’re doing. Else, prices are cheap, we offer state-of-the-art (fully optioned) basic hosting starting at $5-10/month, and other plans for more elaborate projects. You’ll find many hosting providers elsewhere that offer outstanding quality. With us you’ll always have the same person on the phone and at least someone else to email you whenever something goes wrong within the day.
A domain name? Why? And what for? Is it cheap?
by JF on Feb.05, 2009, under FAQ
A domain name is the typed address for your website. E.g. www.dodeca12.com or dodeca12.com is where you can visualize what our church related web business division is all about. A domain name typically sells for $5-$100 and above per year, and we usually recommend one or a couple more domain name sellers (notably godaddy.com) to our customers and in general conversation. They tend to be in the market-driven 9-10$/year range. Price these days, and it’s been that way for a couple of years already, has little to do with quality as far as domain names go. You’ll find many sellers that overprice them, so be careful to freely switch to another one if you’re in that situation. A new domain name to be registered (bought online) must be ‘free’. This means noone else has yet registered this domain name before, or maybe someone did and later dropped it back into the open market. Whichever the case, you’ll be able to buy that domain name. Many good names are still available, you’d be surprised. We generally prefer the domain name owner having actual ownership (record of sale) of the domain, and at WES we specialise in domain name searching, where we combine words that will help people find you thru search engines and general brand recognition, on- and offline.
