What is a domain name?

A domain name is like a phone number. To aid human memory, people often choose phone numbers that correspond to words or abrupt phrases. For example, 1-800-ALLTEL-5 corresponds to the phone number 1-800-255-8355 and is easier to remember. Domain names were implemented so that we do not have to remember long number sequences to access websites. Domain names correspond to a set of 4-12 digit number sequences known as Internet Protocol Addresses. Because each domain name refers to a unique Internet Protocol Address, no two websites can have the same domain name.

Will I need to purchase a domain name?

No. Domain purchasing, configuration, and renewal are all handled by The Web Spinner for you. Although we will control and pay for a domain name, ownership of the domain name will remain with the respective client. In addition, The Web Spinner will help you select a domain name that is best for your business.  If, however, you would like to purchase your domain name, you certainly may.  Go to Domain Name Registration.

What is website hosting?

Website hosting refers to the physical space where your website files will be stored. A "host" is a remote computer, also known as a server. Your domain name is configured to point to this host. Every time a viewer types your domain name into his or her web browser, the host sends the requested files.

Will I need to purchase website hosting as website design client?

No. Hosting is provided by The Web Spinner at competitive pricing.  See our Hosting Plans.

Will I have to sign an agreement?

Yes. Our contract is a written and signed mutual agreement for web design and any other products or services you need.  However, the contract is for the initial design and website implementation. Once the initial work is complete and paid for, you have no long term obligation to continue using The Web Spinner's services.

Can I see an example of my website before entering into any agreement?

Yes. See our Web Design Process.

What is a website template?

The Web Spinner does not use website templates. A template is like a website stencil. It is often designed with little or no graphics or text—it is a pattern into which a customer must confine his or her message. Although cheaper than a custom designed website, your decision between a custom website and website template is the same as choosing between a custom-built car and a do-it-yourself car kit. When a website design firm lacks creative esteem, website templates are rolled off an assembly line and into the hands of unsuspecting business owners and organization leaders.
