Getting Started Online
Many business owners and managers face the same problem, it can be costly to have a web site or E-Commerce store built for small and start-up businesses.
The entry level package Online Business Card costs - $690.00 setup plus $120.00 per anum hosting and increases only with your needs. Unlike some other web site designs an Eziup Site can be updated by an average computer user - meaning your ongoing cost is significantly reduced. However if you would like help that is available at an affordable charge.
Some web designers forget that often our customers have very little or even no knowledge of what is involved in getting online and they don\'t explain in an easy to understand way how to get up and happening online.
Generally it isn't really that hard.... here is a rough outline of what you as a customer need to do.
- You need a domain name - this is the web address that your customer will type in or that you will link to with Yellow pages etc. It costs under $30 per anum.
- You need web hosting - this is the space online that you own or rent to store your web site. An average business site will cost $20 per month.
- You need a web site - choose between just straight advertising or an ecommerce site.
Eziup can help with purchase of a domain name, with web hosting and obviously web site design.
Domain name
The domain name identifies your web site online. There are different types of domain names. For most Australian business we are interested in .com and .com.au.
The .com can be purchased by anyone.
The .com.au can only be purchased by an ABN or ACN holder and the name must reflect either your name, your business practice or your business name.
Web Hosting
This is literally hard drive space for your web site somewhere in the world on a server (a computer connected to the world wide web) that you either own or lease from a hosting company.
Eziup is a hosting business and can help you with this.
