What is involved in setting up a new site?

Yarra Web aims to take care of the entire process of setting up a new site for you. There are three different steps to undertake in getting a site online which are outlined basically (and in no particular order) below:

1. Register a domain name: A domain name refers to the name of the URL or address of your website on the internet. For example the domain name of this site is yarraweb.com . A dentist might register the domain name www.joethedentist.com . When registering a domain name it is important to think of a name that is relevant to your business. A relevant domain name will make it easier for your customers and potential customers to remember your business and it will also help your search engine rankings. Approximately 30,000 new domains are registered everyday so finding a unique domain name that is relevant to your business can be a hard task. However spending some time in finding a relevant name is worth the hassle.

2. Build a Website: Building a website refers to the design and construction of a new web page. There are a million and one things to consider in designing a site, all dependent on what the site will be used for, what you want it to look like and so on and so forth.

3. Website hosting: Web hosting refers to making your website accessible to the public via the internet. A little more technical information on website hosting is written in the next FAQ below. When choosing a web hosting service, remember not only to compare monthly prices but other things such as bandwidth/traffic, web space for your site, setup fees, email addresses etc. Yarra Web's hosting package is extremely competitive, we encourage you to shop around and compare for yourself while keeping in mind the specifics of the hosting service.

What is web site hosting and how does it work?

Web hosting refers to a type of internet hosting service that allows individuals and organisations to make their own website accessible via the world wide web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server for their own or client use by providing internet connectivity, typically in a data centre. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called collocation.
