To have a web site for your
business, you must have |
|
- a computer with Internet access;
- a domain name for your web site;
- a physical place to host your site (web hosting), and
- a web designer to create your web site.
Now, please read following to see how to have your web site setup.
|
|
I. Register Your Domain
Name |
|
You can register your domain name with a domain
registration organization, such as Network Solutions or other. Domain fee is
anywhere from $25-$55 per year.
Registration procedure can be complicated; we can do it for you for FREE!
Once registered, your domain name must be hosted or parked somewhere. If you
already have a domain name hosted somewhere, and want it transferred to our
service, we can handle the transfer. Domain transfer is a FREE service.

Web hosting features and services are very important
to your website. There are several things you really should consider:
1. Storage capacity, if it is large enough to host your site
2. Traffic/hits, if it has any limitation upon heavily visited site
3. Web stats
4. Reliable support
5. Sufficient features to support business logic
6. Special features, such as secure server, if you accept payment online

you want to put on your site. Generally speaking, following considerations
are to be taken:
1. Company name/logo
2. Company introduction
3. Contact information
4. Service and products
In addition to above, you may also want to consider the layout and style of the
site, dynamic effect or animation, and any other special preference.

VI. E-commerce: Sell Online |
|
The easiest way to understand E-commerce is to
sell your products and services online.
To sell from your web site, you must provide products information on your site
so that your customers are able to find and order what they want from your web
site. They can pay you online in real time, and they can also choose to pay you
offline as an option. To accept payment online, your web site must be hosted on
a server with SSL feature to protect your customer's credit card information.
When the payment is received and authorized, it's your obligation to ship the
items to your customers.
Basic Elements
In order to do so, your E-commerce web site must have:
- A storefront with product catalog to show your products and services;
- A shopping cart to track your customer's purchasing activities;
- Credit card acceptance;
- If you have more than 30 products to sell on your web site, you may need
database support from your web hosting services.
Payment Solution
In order to accept credit card from your web site, you should have:
- Internet merchant account
- Payment service provider
- SSL feature support from your hosting services
