Website Technology Explained
Having a successful website depends heavily on technology. Every website needs three items - domain name, hosting plan, and email - to work properly.
Domain Name
A domain name, the web address of your website, is what you type into a web browser to locate your website. The domain name for my website is webdesignbyrobin.com, for example.
Hosting Plan
A hosting plan provides a place for your website files on a computer server.

Domain Recommendations
Domain names can be purchased from just about anywhere and will cost between $10 - $20/year. When you are purchasing a domain name you are simply purchasing a phrase that lives in a record that points to a website host and an email server. There is little to no risk in choosing the company you buy your domain name from. We recommend Siteground.com for hosting and since they also sell domain names, we recommend getting your domain name with them as well.
Hosting Recommendations
We recommend Siteground.com to our clients based on years of experience working with Joomla websites for the business community. We recommend that hosting is purchased directly by the business owner. No need to worry, we will help you pick out the right plan and we will set up the hosting plan for you once it is purchased.
