Creating a company presence on the World Wide Web is very simple. All you have to do is :

- Register your company's domain name
- Sign up with a web hosting company
- Publish one page to the website

- Register your company's domain name

There are many options regarding registering domain names and types of webhosting, Creative Action recommends the following :

Register your name in all 5 suffix categories - this ensures that peoples entering your domain name will get you and stops hijacking your name

yourcompany.com

yourcompany.org

yourcompany.net

yourcompany.co.uk

yourcompany.org.uk

- Sign up with a web hosting company

We will set up your website on the Netbenefit server using Unix and Mailmapper. This includes 1 POP3 mailbox (with 15 addresses ) and NIC fees. ( All mail is then directed to your existing ISP mail server )

You may instead of using the firms name wish to set up your domain name as a descriptive name. ( ie a name that describes the services or type of business you are rather than the company name ).

For example

yourfriendlysolicitor.com

yourfriendlysolicitor.org

yourfriendlysolicitor.net

yourfriendlysolicitor.co.uk

yourfriendlysolicitor.org.uk

- Publish one page to the website

Send one page titled "index.htm" to the website using a Web Publisher

You are then ready for the next stage
