It means that
these consulting firms take on the responsibility of technical
support. Since you do not deal directly with the real
service provider, trying to get problems resolved can easily
result in a series of calls between related parties.
For these reasons Innovative
Data Solutions, Inc. does not resell the services of Web Service
providers. Instead we refer you to our strategic partners (VIA Net.Works,
Innerhost, Third Coast Network or Verio), which we work with on a daily basis.
We offer your company a 5% discount (up to $200), if we develop your web
site and then deploy it for you on one of our strategic partners hosting
platforms.

Domain Names (why you need one)
|
A domain name is really just an alias for your IP number address. When
you sign up to put a Web site on the Internet, you are given an Internet Protocol Number,
or address. All the computers on the Internet can retrieve your site by pulling up
this IP number. A domain name will allow you to have a World Wide Web address like www.yourname.com
instead of having only a number such as 207.141.150.5.
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 www.letters.com.
Your domain name can be as long as 22 characters before the top-level domain
(".com" or ".net"). The domain must consist only of letters, numbers
and dashes(-).
If you need to check the availability of the domain name(s) you wish to
register, please visit the Verisign
whois page.
