Why
a web page?You may have noticed that many local, national and international businesses have web sites. Check out Sierra At Tahoe, REI Outdoor Equipment, Nike, etc. These companies all know that a web site gives them...
Why
a domain?If you put your web page on your local dialup Internet account, your web page and email addresses will be something like this:
If you have your own domain, your addresses will be:
mary@yourcompany.com
sales@yourcompany.com
People will be able to access your web page simply by typing "yourcompany" into their browser. You will have unlimited email accounts, one for each of your employees and departments if you wish. Plus, you will have much more computer space for storage if you own your domain. This could be valuable if you have a large web site.

Prices*For example, this web site counts as at least two pages, as you will need to scroll down at least four times to view the entire page.

Both are available free at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download .

You can own your own domain for a one time $40 setup fee plus InterNIC registration fees ($70 for the first two years and $35 a year thereafter), and about a $20 monthly domain hosting fee. I use Interland, Inc., a domain hosting service located in Atlanta, Georgia; they have been in business since 1985.
Your domain features include...
