A domain name is your website address on the Internet. For example, the domain name for this website is sitefxonline.com. Even though there are millions of domains on the Internet, there are still millions more available. Your domain name can be whatever you want, and as long as nobody else has purchased it, it's yours to take! There are three
many different domain name extensions which included .com, .net, .org, .biz,
.info, and more. Even if somebody already has a domain name you want with
one extension (ex. .com), you can still get the other extensions if they are not taken.
You can check domain availability by going to
www.networksolutions.com.
Choosing a domain name can be a painful process for some people. SiteFX is always happy to offer domain name recommendations to all of our clients. We will help you find an available domain name that suits your needs. After choosing your domain name, we simply register it online
for you, and its yours instantly. It's that easy!

Creating a website from scratch can be a very long and
complicated process. Depending on the purpose of the website, it could take
a few days or many months to complete. However, all of the pain and
complication can be removed by allowing our qualified designers and computer
programmers to design a website for you.
The process begins with a personal meeting with our
talented
executives. We will openly listen to your ideas and explain what
possibilities to pursue. Whether you have your site all laid out or have no
idea what you want, we will work with you to make sure all of your goals are
met. We involve our customers throughout the entire design and creation
process to ensure that you are satisfied with the results.

| What is web
hosting? How do I get my website hosted? |
back |
Once you have a domain name and a website, you need a
space on the Internet to put it. This is where web hosting comes in. A web host will place your website files on their servers so that they are displayed when someone types in your address.
SiteFX takes care of your hosting needs by providing complete hosting
services to meet all your website's requirements.
