Domain:  A domain is basically a name that you have registered. It is uniquely yours.  An example is the name "WebMavin.com"  or "OxygenStore.net" both of which are registered to Claudia Montelione. If you have your own domain, you also need to have a hosting company (see below). 

Website:  A website is what people see when they go to your web address. It's your home on the internet. The web address can be a domain name or it can be any name you make up for space on someone else's domain. It is created as a file (one page) or many files (many pages) on a computer and then published or uploaded to the host server (computer) which will make it available for viewing on the internet.  Many domains offer free web space in exchange for running their banner or advertising on your site. If you are a WebMavin client, you can have free webspace and your address would look like this: http://www.webmavin.com/spector, where "spector" would be your space.  It's a good way to start out if you're not yet ready to jump in to getting a domain name and web hosting. 

Hosting: The web host has powerful computers called "servers". They have the capability of storing your website files and making them available for viewing by large amounts of people simultaneously around the clock, 7 days a week. In dealing with a hosting company, good service is critical as an unreliable host can cost you in aggravation, frustration and possibly loss of business. 
  
 

• If you know what you want on your website, please make an outline of the elements it should contain and if possible, how you'd like it to look or "feel". As with any creative project, the more "groundwork" you do, the better the results. If the concept, layout and content can be assembled in advance, it will save both time and money.

• If you haven't got the foggiest idea of how your site/page should look or what information you need on it, we can help based on your type of business or purpose of your organization.
