Website Hosting
View our website hosting plans
Your website must reside on a server (computer) connected to the Internet. The server’s physical location could basically be anywhere. To have a website you need to register a domain name – i.e., yourname.com, yourname.org, yourname.net, etc. – and purchase a hosting package. Raleigh NC Web Design offers domain name registration and hosting, and associated products, through a partner company. In the United States, this partner company is in the top ten for number of domains registered and is at the top for the number of websites hosted.
