How much does it cost? Who do you buy it off? How do you find out who owns it if you want to buy it off them? Once you have the domain where do you go from there?

Posted

To buy a domain there is heaps of sites, such as www.godaddy.com . Just google purchasing of domain name and there is an infinite number of sites to purchase from.

If someone owns the domain, you can get their details using a whois service, such as http://www.domaintools.com/ OR http://www.whois.net/

Once you have the domain you need to get it hosted, which isn't hard once you have the name. Can't remember the names of ones i've used, but i'm sure others will know some good ones. Godaddy does hosting too, but your probably better off going with one in Australia? Will be faster for us i'm presuming. Quick search of domain hosting will also bring up an infinite number of sites to host on. Go with a paid one over a free one, pretty self explanatory why - ads, reliability etc.

Hope this helps

thanks for the info guys

not too sure yet, thinking about using it just for emails for the moment til we build our rep up a little more but then basically have a flashpage that links users to our various other pages such as facebook soundcloud myspace blog etc etc

www.autoerotique.net <---something like that

lol it doesnt have to be flash, but even if it was - it doesnt have to have that much info on it so it doesnt really matter.

it's not the same as one having one of those big fuck off pages with drop down menus n the like

^ thanks for the free plug :)

anditz theres a few of us who have experience in this area, so happy to help out.

ontop of buying a domain, which is about $10/yr, you'll need to have some sort of hosting to store your site.

give me a yell if you need a hand, been through many options before finally deciding on what I have now.

just last night i bought by domain name, after using a subdomain of the hosting company i use.

www.djablatch.com.au cost me $27ish (i think) for 2 years through NetRegistry.

The hosting and website design was all done though Weebly, pretty good for a free service if you ask me.

just gotta redesign the site myself and get some proper hosting and email.....

Anyone used or looked into wix.com for free sites?

yeah, you can get some pretty looking websites made.... I see you can have the choice of HTML5 or flash now

for similar options, look at http://flavors.me

you've got the most flexibility and professional web presence with a hosted plan and something like wordpress or a custom built site.
