Why do I need a website?
 
Around the world, the Internet is becoming one of the most important means for communications and commerce.

Businesses and organizations that keep their employees and their customers informed, provide better customer service and tend to promote a positive self-image for their organization.

Having your own website will also allow you to reach new customers in new markets worldwide. Anyone with a connection to the Internet, anywhere in the world, can log onto your site, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to see who you are, and, what you have to offer.

With your own website you get all the benefits of a major advertising campaign plus mail order promotions at a fraction of the cost. People who might never consider mail order will order on the net because it's convenient, secure and always available.

More than likely, some of your competitors already have a website. They're already aware of the advantages and the opportunities that this global marketplace has to offer.

The longer you don't have a website, the further behind you are likely to be. So ask yourself... can I afford not to have a Website?

What is a domain name?
 
A domain name is your personal Internet address that identifies you or your company on the World Wide Web. No two people or businesses can own the same domain name.

A domain name allows you to receive e-mail at a customized e-mail address. For example, if your business's name is ACME, INC., you could register the domain name ACME.COM. Your e-mail address could then be "yourname@acme.com". Your customers would also be able to look at your organization's website by typing "www.acme.com" in their web browser.

If your organization doesn't have its own domain name, your potential clients may assume that your company isn't established.
Domain names are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once a domain name has been reserved, it is no longer available for registration by anyone else. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to get the domain name you want. Even if you have no immediate plans for using a domain name, you should consider registering your name before it becomes the property of someone else. Remember that the Internet is a global network and every domain name must be unique.

How do I get my own Domain Name?
 
When picking your domain name it is important to make it as easy as possible. A simple, clear domain name should identify your business to your customers as soon as they see it, and be easy to remember.

Domain names must consist of alpha characters, numeric characters, or the minus sign '-'. Spaces and other characters are not accepted. Domain names are not case sensitive.

Once you have decided on a few possible names, you can see if they are available by entering them here.

Which plan is best for me?
 
The plan that is right for you will be determined by the goals you have in mind for your website. If you just need a few personal email addresses and a simple web presence, our $9.95 a month plan should work just fine. If you have hundreds of products that you would like to market and need email addresses for everyone in your company including individual departments, then you should consider one of our larger plans.

Fortunately, all of our hosting plans are easily upgradeable. We will prorate your existing plan and apply any credit that you have towards your new plan. We even have options for adding more disk storage or email addresses when you need it. Click here for more information on our various hosting plans.

Why should I choose Zwerx.com?
 
Choosing the right company to host your business or organization will require some research on your part. We'll give you the facts and then you can decide whether we're the right hosting company for you and your business. We believe that any person can make an intelligent decision as long as they have all the facts. Let's start by looking at the four major types of hosting service companies.

FREE HOSTING
Yes, they're out there, but don't expect a whole lot from this type of hosting provider. They require you to place there banner advertisements on your homepage that can pull your potential customers away from your website. These banner ads give your company an unprofessional image to anyone browsing your website. Sure, you can save some money, but if you are really serious about setting up your business on the Internet, I would strongly recommend that you stay away from the free hosting providers.

THE DIAL-UP PROVIDER
Almost every dial-up Internet service provider offers some form of web hosting services along with their dial-up service. But their primary focus and investment is on providing services for their dial-up clients. Chat rooms and newsgroups share the bandwidth, (speed of the connection to the Internet), with your website that can slow down the access to your website. It's rare to find a dial-up ISP that can provide excellent service for their hosting clients as well as their dial-up access clients.

VIRTUAL HOSTING PROVIDERS
Virtual hosting service providers can host several companies on one or more servers. This is the preferred method for most small to medium size businesses and organizations because the costs for the server are shared with all clients. And, to any user coming to your web site, there is no way they can tell if they are accessing a virtually hosted site, or a dedicated hosted site.

DEDICATED HOSTING PROVIDERS
If you have a large business or organization that requires large amounts of disk space and high volume and traffic, (Over 400,000 hits a month), then a dedicated server is the way to go. Dedicated hosting is a server that hosts only one company per server. The server is not shared with any other company. If you require a dedicated server, be prepared to pay a premium price for this service.

Ok, I'm still here, but you haven't told me why I should choose Zwerx.com. One word - Service. Sure I could have talked about our secure, redundant, high speed connections and servers, our web based control panel, or how we setup your accounts in 30 minutes or less, or the free web based email access, or the free site statistical tools, or any of the other features we have to offer, but none of this matters if you don't have good service. So what have you got to loose? Try us for 30 days and if you're not 100% satisfied, we'll give you your money back.
