Internet. You can go with an established company like MSN (Microsoft Network), Earthlink, AOL, Compuserve or you can check your Yellow Pages under Internet Access or Internet Service Provider or something similar. Pose

9. Securing a Domain Name: If you wish to make a presence for your business on
Internet and are not satisfied with
free hosting services out there, then you will have to Secure a Domain Name. To do that, it will cost just over $8.95 per year. Apply here: http://www.techcompassociates.com . Think of some good names and check them out for availability. Try to have a keyword in your Domain Name, it will help with
Search Engines.
The reason this comes in handy is because no matter how many times I change Hosting Services, I'll always have
same name and same E-Mail address, info@garvinweb.com. This means, if you ever get angry at your ISP or hosting service, you can just change it and everyone will still be able to find you. You won't have to change your business cards, letterheads or anything else to reflect a different Web-Site.
10. Find a Hosting Service: Find a Hosting Service that will meet all your expectations. A Hosting Service is
place you "Park" your Domain Name. There are hundreds of thousands of them out there now. Just shop around and consider different factors such as: Price, Service, Method of Connection., CGI Support, Tech Support, and customer support. How accessible are they to Billing and General Service Questions? These things you must ask yourself before you join one.
Now, you have started your business, and are ready to begin
process or securing orders.
Congratulations!!
