Confused by all the internet jargon?
Common Web Site Terms -

Domain Name - www.sitename.com - also known as a "URL", this is the location of your site on the internet, much like your home address. It allows visitors to find your site. A good domain name can mean the difference between a success or failure!

Web Host - this term refers the host, or parking spot, of your site on the internet so it is available to everyone. Hosts come at many different costs to you, ranging from free (usually for non-commercial sites only) to hundreds of dollars a month. A good host can generally be found for less than $15.00 a month. Usually paid for on a monthly basis, finding a good host is almost as important as finding a good design for your site. Pick the wrong host & your site may be more trouble than its worth! We currently offer hosting, with plans starting as low as $5.00 a month.

Commercial/Non-commercial - these terms simply state what purpose your site serves; commercial being a site which sells something or sets out to make money. Non-commercial can be a charity, not-for-profit site, a personal site, etc.

Linkware - this term is used for graphic sets (collections of themed pictures) that are used on non-commercial sites, in return for a link back to the set creator's site. Most linkware is available for purchase at a lower cost to you than a full "from scratch" site design.

Search Engine - such as Google which allow web users to type in a string of words & find the web sites that match those words the most closely.

Live - this terms means that others can view your site, when your site goes "live" everything is in place & ready to go!

Down - this means that your host might be having trouble and your site is unavailable for a time, most good hosts promise at least a 95% uptime.

Site Maintenance - designers (luna624 design included) may offer to update your web site with new products, information, photos, etc...from time to time for a small fee.
