Does my Web site designer need to be local?
Not necessarily. Our customers are located across the United States. With the Internet, email and telephone we are able to communicate effectively with you, regardless of your location. However, if you are close by, we will gladly meet with you at your business.
A domain name is where your customers will find you on the Internet. Like a physical address, a domain name is unique to your site. When someone wants to view your Web site they will type the domain name into the Internet browser to go to your site. An example of a domain name would be: www.your-company-website.com. You will also commonly see site domain names that end in .net and .org.
Web hosting is required for making your site available to people on the Internet. Your site will be uploaded to a hosting company’s servers, where it will be accessible to the Internet. The hosting company will also maintain the server computers that will be storing your site.
Many hosting companies charge either on a monthly or annual basis. Plans can range from as little as $6 a month for a smaller package to hundreds or even thousands of dollars for much bigger corporate packages. We will work with you to ensure you get the right hosting package for your site.
My Web site is currently hosted through another Web site designer. How would I switch it over to Goldstein Media LLC?
Goldstein Media has working relationships with a number of hosting providers. We will walk you through every step of the transfer process and help you get the best amount of space for the right price.
Can Goldstein Media LLC host my site?
Currently, we do not have the server capacity to host your site. We will work with you to choose the right hosting company and the right hosting package for your site from our approved vendors list.
Like most things, sites need to be updated and checked regularly to make sure everything is running smoothly. Our maintenance packages enable your site to be constantly monitored and up-to-date. Plans start as low as $50 a month.
