Web site cycle
1. Domain registration/hosting
Domain registration is the process
by which a company or individual can secure a website domain, such as
www.yoursite.com. Once you have completed domain registration the domain
becomes yours for the period of the contract, usually one year. Before
registration expires it must be renewed, or the domain reverts back to being
available to the general public.
We search for the market place for the lowest price domain registration company for your chosen domain
2. Web Site Design
Web design is used as a general term to describe any of

of free referral traffic
