This depends on how you are going to use it. If you are going to be telling people over the phone, choose one that is easy to say and spell out loud. Above all, we recommend choosing one that is memorable and not confusing.

Another aspect to consider is your url should be 'search engine friendly'. What does that mean? You might consider putting a keyword that describes your business into your domain name.

For Example: You sell shoes, and your store name is ABC Company. Consider reserving a domain name such as 'ABC-shoes.com' or 'shoes-by-ABC.com'. This way, when someone searches for the keyword 'shoes' Your web site is more likely to show up than if your domain name was simply 'ABC.com'

Tip: You can reserve more than one domain name and then point them to your main domain. For example: you might want a more specific domain such as 'black-shoes.com' or 'childrens-shoes.com'. When someone clicks on any of these domains, they will still get to your web site.

We would prefer not to. Your domain name is your address in cyberspace, and often it is the only way someone knows to contact you. It is important that you keep good track of it and keep your contact information updated on your domain record so that nothing happens to it. We always recommend that people have full control and knowledge of how to administer their domain name, just to be safe. There are a number of domain registrars on the internet that can offer you dependable service and competitive prices, such as GoDaddy.com .

A static site is one that is written in HTML only. Each page is a separate document and there is no database that it draws on. What this means functionally is that the only way to edit the site is to go into each page and edit the HTML - so you'd either have to do it yourself using a web page editor like FrontPage or Dreamweaver or pay us to go in and edit the site each time you want to make changes.

A dynamic site is written using more complex code and can do a lot more. For instance, we can make an area where you can log in and change various parts of the site, such as adding information or products. This is because each page is constructed based on the information in a database, and the information in that database can be changed via another interface.

Dynamic sites can reduce ongoing maintenance costs if you don't want to change things yourself with a web page editor or with the HTML. They usually cost more to develop, as they require more complex coding and a content management utility needs to be developed to help you manage your website information.

Another benefit of dynamic sites is that they allow you to change only the content of the site and not the design, so you will not be able to accidentally break the visual style of the site. They have other benefits when sites start to get very large, as they make data management much more efficient and your site more expandable.

Many clients do a combination, having some dynamic areas such as a product catalog where they have to change information or pictures regularly, and leave other pages such as contact information as static pages.
