Build and Hosting Prices
How Does it Work? There are three components needed to get your site on the web.
Domain Name: Your domain name is your address on the web. Mine is PixeLineDesign.com. You choose a name, or simply use your business or organization name, then purchase and register it through a domain registry. There are many options available for registration, but most will cost around $20 per year. You can have a free subdomain with some website or blog builders like www.pixelinedesign/blogger.com, but I don't recommend it. It's best to own your domain for the few dollars it will cost each year.
Hosting Plan: A web host is a place to store your website on the web. Think of it as renting storage space, you can rent a 5 bay, insulated and heated unit with an alarm system, or a basic 12 x 12 room that will keep your belongings safe and dry. Your choice depends on the functionality your site requires. Shopping carts or e-commerce, membership, fancy sliding or video headers...these elements and others will cost more. Our hosting ranges from $20 - $50/month.
Content Management System: Known as CMS for short, this is the software, platform, program or interface used to build and maintain a website. Think of CMS to website building as Microsoft Word is to creating a resume. This is where things get interesting and potentially very complicated... BUT, it doesn't have to be.
