1. Getting Started
Register a Domain Name
Before you go any further, you need to acquire a domain name.
Ideally, this will reflect your registered business name. For example; if www.mybusiness.com.au isn't available, you could use www.mybusinessonline.com.au or another suitable variant.
Once you have chosen the best name for your website and registered it, you then need to arrange a hosting package.

You can use the search form on the Web Secure homepage, to find out if your chosen name is currently in use.
Once you have decided on a domain name that is currently available, you can add the domain name to your order with a simple click of a button.
Web Secure will process the registration for you and email you the details of your new domain name, including the period the domain name will be registered for. This email will also contain a pdf of your registration certificate.

Choose a hosting package
Depending on the type of website you want to build and the amount of information contained, you need to choose the web hosting plan that can best deal with your demands.
To determine the type of web hosting package that is right for you, consider the following questions.
1. Do I want to store customer information in an online database (registrations, for example)?
2. Do I want a blog or content management system?
3. Do I want a shopping cart or online ordering and payment system?

A basic package such as Web Secure's Office Hosting may meet your needs. This will host what is called a static site, sometimes called a brochureware site, as it works simply as an online catalogue.
This package will require customers to contact you by email, phone or fax to order and purchase.

| > I need a database, or content management system |
If you want to store customer information in a database or allow customers to interact with the pages, you will need a
dynamic hosting package such as our Business Hosting service.
This type of hosting uses database technology on the server to process the additional information needed to generate dynamic webpages that change for the individual browser.
