What is a domain name and a host?
Every web site needs a domain name and a host.
The domain name is the actual address of your new web site, eg. the domain name of this web site is www.buildingblocks.net.nz
The Host is a server or computer that stores your physical web site and allows internet users to have access to it 24 hours a day.
Both of these services are included in our $25.00 per month.
What is search engine optimization and do I need it?
Search engines use different algorithms to determine who will rank at the top of page one for a particular keyword, when a potential customer types that keyword in. Depending on how well you optimize your web site depends on how high up the ranks you will be displayed.
Ecommerce web sites need a good rank and often supplement natural search engine rank with paid advertising to improve their odds. Many business' do not need to rank well at all with the search engines as they use their website as more of a tool. It may have the location of your business on it or it may have technical information on it for people to consider. Sometimes a business can only service the local town or city so search engines are of little or no importance. Often website address' are advertised on cars, trucks, tv and in the paper, these are a great way of getting your website name out there.
