Hosting & Domain Services

Every website needs a domain name (e.g. www.stephenhm.com) and a hosting provider to make your website available to be viewed online.

Domain Name

It is very important to choose the right domain name for your website. You may already have one in mind, in which case I can register it for you.

If you haven't decided upon a domain name yet, then there are three things to keep in mind.

• The shorter the better
• Relevance to your company/organisation
• .com or a .ca are best for Canadian websites

I can help you come up with a great domain name for your website, and take care of eveything.

Website Hosting

Hosting is one aspect of having a website that a lot of people don't know about.

While web pages are designed and developed on a single computer, they must be transferred to a server, or host, so that they are available to the rest of the world over the Internet. A host is simply a computer that has a constant, high speed connection to the Internet.

Some important things to look for in a host are:

• 99.9% uptime guarantee (so that you website is always up and running)
• Speed of access for website visitors
• Weekly off site backup services, in case of a disaster

I can take care of all the hosting requirements of your website, and I use a top of the line hosting provider that is regarded as one of the very best in the world.
