Costs Associated with Owning a Website...
The following are costs you should be aware of related to owning a web site.
DESIGN, SETUP AND IMPLEMENTATION
These are the initial fees you pay to have a designer put together a custom web site tailored around your business. A single web page can be as low as $99 and an entire web site can cost anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of dollars depending on your requirements.
DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION
A domain name is essentially your "address" on the Internet. Almost every web site you've ever been to, and every email you've ever composed, has used a domain name in its address. People register domain names to make it easier for clients and potential customers to find their web site. Once a domain name is registered to a person or company, it is that person's to use exclusively as long as they continue to pay the yearly renewal fee and abide by the terms of use.
Domain Registration costs approximately $8.00 per year.
HOSTING
Once you have your domain name registered and your web site designed and built, you will need someplace to host it. There are literally thousands of hosting companies to choose from. Depending on your needs, web site hosting is relatively affordable and can cost as little as $7.95 per month
PERIODIC MAINTENENCE
Once you have established a "live" web site on the internet, you may find it necessary to occasionally make changes to the content of your web site. This is usually a very affordable expense and well worth the cost to keep the information on your site accurate and up to date.
