Q: What is a domain name?
A: This name is your electronic trademark (www.YourBusinessOrgName.com), giving your website a unique address that is easy to find and easy to remember. The cost varies depending on the company used to register the domain. With Outreach Web Solutions, the initial one-year registration of your domain is $15 if you choose our hosting partner, HostGator, for hosting services.
Q. What is web hosting?
A: Web hosting refers to the process of publishing a web site so that it is available to the world on the Web. Paid web hosting also involves getting a domain name and not having forced ads displayed on your site.
Q. Do I have to get web hosting through Outreach in order to use your design services?
A: No, you can go with any web hosting provider for your web hosting. However, we strongly recommend using our web hosting partner, HostGator, for hosting services. Not only do you get unlimited disk space, bandwidth, and email at your business, the monthly fee of $4.95 is lower than most any hosting provider out there.
Q. Can I get email at my business name?
A: YES, our web hosting service through our hosting partner, HostGator, offers unlimited email addresses at your business name. You can setup these email addresses within minutes and configure the email program of your choice (i.e. Outlook) to send/receive email.
Q. I've looked at various hosting providers and see them talk about disk space and bandwidth. What does that mean?
A: Disk space is the amount of "stuff" you can put on your web site. Allowed disk space is usually listed in megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). Regular web pages are usually rather small, but pictures can be quite large.
Bandwidth is the amount of "stuff" that visitors to your site can download before you reach your monthly limit. Allowed bandwidth is usually listed in gigabytes (GB). After the bandwidth limit is reached for the month, most web hosting providers will charge you extra fees based on the amount of the overage. With Outreach Web Solutions, you are allowed unlimited disk space AND bandwidth if you choose our hosting partner, HostGator, for hosting services.
Q. Will I automatically be listed at Google or Yahoo?
A: Yes and No. Google and Yahoo are services known as search engines. Most search engines will periodically go out to the internet and add new websites to their pages. However, the ranking of your pages via various search terms, or keywords, can vary greatly depending on a lot of factors. No company, including Outreach Web Solutions, can guarantee your ranking at these search engines. However, we provide tools to ensure that you have the best chance at being seen.
Q. How long will it take you to design my website?
A: The timeframe can vary since every website is built custom to your specifications. We also depend heavily on you providing us with information vital to creation of your website. Generally, a brochure website will take 2-4 weeks, while a Value website will take 4-6 weeks.
Q. How much does it cost to get information on your services?
