website design

I want to create a website with a .com domain name, how much will that cost me. And how will i be able to link it with search engines like google etc? thanks

A .com for a year is about �15 to register, and then the cost of your webspace - there are free sites, but you can get a better service from a paid host. You'll need to shop around as some hosts are very expensive, but you can get a good deal with plenty of space for as little as �20 per year.

Getting it on to a search engine is easy. Their robots will come along and index your site at some point. Getting a GOOD placing on the search engines is much harder.

Try reading some of the posts on this site for help:

Google is sorted by the number of websites google's little robots find that link to your site, as are most major search engines. So. as your site increases in popularity it's ranking in Google should increase. Giving your website an unusual name would help this, and people looking specifically for your site will have less other relevant junk to trawl through to get it.

There's various sites that will register a .com - or other domain name for you, and thats easy, now you have the right to that name.

But what happens once you have a domain name - say www.sulldorf.com ? You need the name to go on the Domain Name Server (DNS) so that when someone types in the name - or sends an email to it, they go to the right place.

Some registrars offer email forwarding and web forwarding. So you get a free website on - say geocities.com or anywhere, and when someone types www.sulldorf.com  in their browser it takes them to your website. And the great thing is you can move the location of your website and just tell the web-forwarder the new name to point to.

Same with email, your emails to [email protected] are directed to [email protected] or wherever, and you can change your email service whenever you like and redirect [email protected] to the new address.

I use www.namesecure.com but there are many others that offer these services.
