Domain Names.
First, you must consider domain names. (www.your-name-here.com)
              
Prepare to choose several different variations of your name.  With the explosion of the Internet, your name may already be registered by someone else.

Your domain name can be as long as 22 characters. The domain must consist only of letters, numbers and dashes(-). The www is not part of the actual domain name and is just a standard web prefix.

Choosing a domain name.
You want to select a name that will be easy for your customers or potential customers to remember. The obvious choice would be to use your business name, such as www.theabc-company.com. But if your company is named The ABC Company, you might want to try abbreviating the domain name for simplicity - such as www.abc.com.

If the name you would like has already been registered by another company, you will want to be creative and decide on a name that is associated with your company. For instance, if The ABC Company sells letters, then you may want to try letters.com.

• E-mail: Forwarded mail: We will give you an e-mail address masked as yourname@yourcompany.com.  When an individual sends e-mail to this address it is automatically forwarded to your existing e-mail account.  The benefit of this option is that you may choose any ISP (Internet service provider - AOL, Prodigy, ATT, etc) at any time.  This eliminates changing stationary and business cards because no matter who your ISP is, your e-mail address yourname@yourcompany.com will always be the same. Any time you change your ISP (thereby changing your e-mail account) just give us a call and we will change the forwarding address for free.
