	Q. I just want a website. How do I get one? A. In today's fast moving world, every business needs a website. Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to get one. Well, here's the simple answer. Basically, you need three things -- (1) a domain name; (2) a web hosting provider; and (3) your website files. Here is what each means... 1. Domain Name - A domain name is the address of your website (example: our domain name is www.familydomains.com.au). Think of it like the street address of your home. You need an address so that people know where to go when they want to see your website. Domain names are sold on a “first come, first served” basis, so it’s important that if you’ve got a name you like, purchase it before someone else does. 2. Web Hosting - Ok, so if a domain name is the street address of your house, then web hosting is the land where your house resides. Basically, you need to own (or rent) the land before you build on it. The same principle applies here. You need a web hosting service before you build your website. Why? Because the files need to be stored somewhere, and that somewhere is in the computer of your web hosting provider. 3. Website - Your website is your home or your store front. This is what people see when they go on the Internet. The article you are reading now is on the front page of our website. In summary, your customers go to your address (the domain name), and they visit your shop (the website) which is resting on your land (the web hosting service). So, who are we? Following the analogy above, we are the real estate agents, architects and builders of your shop. We help you purchase your domain name, we provide the hosting service and we build your website. All you have to do is bring in the customers. If you’ve got more questions, that’s what we’re here for. Just send us a note and we’ll help you out.
