Getting on the Web
I suppose one could argue that you must already know how to get on to the Web, or you wouldn't be reading this. However, just on the off-chance that you are borrowing someone else's computer to look at this, here goes. There follows a list of some of your options for accessing the Internet:
- No access at all. We can create and host a website for you on our computer system, even if you don't have one of your own. People can browse your site, get your phone number or address off the Web page, and contact you directly.
- E-mail only. The benefits of having a website are increased if your customers can contact you by E-mail. There are companies such as Juno that are supported by advertising and offer free E-mail.
- E-mail plus limited Web access and presence. There are companies such as America Online, Compuserve, and MSN (Microsoft Network) that, for around $10 per month, offer you E-mail, a limited time on the Web (about 10 hours a month), and about 2 megabytes of personal web space. This is probably a good option for people and businesses who want to have an on-line presence but whose main focus is in some other field. It may not be a good idea to put key pages in the personal web space of these providers, since moving the pages later may cost you business.
- Unlimited-time Internet account. These generally run about $20 per month.
