Today it is very important for business owners to make sure that their company is online and can be found on the internet. Not only does it often provide a potential customer to browse and communicate with your business, but also will enable them to experience your company without leaving their chair. Many find web sites for company hours, locations, and phone numbers. Many retail companies sell products online.I will teach you how to put your company online.

Here are a few things that you'll need:

An internet connection.
Money for a domain name.
Money for a web host.

Instructions:

1.First you will need to purchase a domain name. A domain name is the part of the URL address. It will be most often followed by a .com if you are a commercial business or a .net. .org is usually for non-profit organizations like churches & credit unions. Search in google for a domain registrar - this is where you buy the actual domain name from. You will have to be creative usually, because many common word domains are taken.

2. Get a hosting company. This is the place that will host or "hold" the actual files that will be your web site. Hosting companies charge on a monthly basis. It is usually suggested to start off small if you are a small business. Don't buy huge packages that you won't need.

3. After you register with a hosting company, it will give you DNS information. You must go back over to the domain registrar, and put in the DNS information.

4. Using an html editor, you will have to edit your company web site. If you have no idea of what you are doing, a good wysiwyg html editor is what you may want to use, however, you may want to contact somebody with artistic ability & knowledge of web design.

5. Once you have made your web pages, you will want to advertise it on the internet. Usually a great way to do this is merely suggest it in private forums, or use a submission bot at your hosting company. DO NOT advertise it over and over again. You will get banned. Simply submit it once, and let the crawlers and spiders from search engines take over. Within a couple of weeks, you should begin to develop traffic. Traffic will increase if you have your web site on things like business cards and advertisements. You can save a lot of money by advertising your business by doing it yourself, but sometimes it may be wise to hire somebody to do it for you. Online advertising is a trade all in itself. Usually simply linking your site in many places (such as blogs) is sufficient enough for search engine spiders to find it.
