Choose a Domain Name for Your
Site
The first thing you
need to do when establishing a Web
presence is decide on a Domain Name.
Choosing the right Domain Name is
very important, as it directly affects
how easy it is for potential visitors
to find your site. Try for something
that's easy to recognize, easy to
remember, and to easy to guess.
If you are not planning
on building your Web site right away,
you might still want to consider registering
your Domain as soon as possible.
Thousands of Domain Names are registered
every day, and there's no guarantee
that yours will still be around when
you decide to build your site.
Select a Web Hosting Plan That's
Right for You
Most people start
by browsing through the hosting plan
descriptions on this site. We offer
a plan for everyone, but it's not
always easy to decide which one is
for you. Here are some tips to help
narrow down your choices:
If you plan on selling anything
from your Web site, take a look
at the e-commerce plans.
If you plan on using Microsoft
Office extensions or databases,
or plan on having a dynamic
Web site, consider the Windows
2000/NT plans.
Consider the Bronze plans if
you're an individual.
Consider the Gold plans if
the site is for a business.

Web site Consultant dedicated to helping
you establish your site. You can give

your need, click on the buy button
on that plan's page to start the ordering
process. Placing the order is easy
and your site will be running in a
matter of hours.
Build and Publish Your Web site
Building your own
Web site can be very gratifying, but
doesn't have to be very difficult.
There are currently a lot of software
packages available - such as Microsoft
FrontPage 2000 - that make creating
and publishing your Web site relatively
quick and painless. We support the
use of most Web site design and publishing
tools.
If you find that you
need help publishing your site, or
are interested in more advanced Web
site features, Verio provides extensive
online
documentation as well as excellent
Technical
Support by both phone and e-mail.
Promote Your Web Site
To really succeed
on the Web, you need more than just
a Web site. You need "traffic" - a
steady stream of visitors coming to
check out your products, services,
information, and everything else you
offer online. In order to draw people
to your site, you need to be listed
in the Web's most popular search engines
and Web directories. Please take a
look at our web site promotion
guide.
