ou can’t avoid it. If you have a business these days it is assumed that you MUST have a web site as well. Creating a web site as soon as possible when you set up a business entity should always be considered in the costs of starting a new business.

A business without a web site or without membership in an affiliate business association is seen as behind the times, out of touch, and possibly unable to show the staying power that other businesses do. Like membership in the local Chamber of Commerce, a web site gives your business credibility.


In this age of “going green,” many people are throwing away their paper “phone books” and going to the Internet to “google” the phone number and business information they are looking for. If you are promoting a high end or specialized business, not having a web site will have your customers looking past you to a competitor that does.

The first step in setting up a web site is getting a domain name (also known as a web address, or URL). Start off by choosing several URLs with a name similar to your business name, and rank them in order of your first to last choice. Go online and type in URL of your choice with a .com ending to find out if the URL is attached to an actual business web page or is a parking page that may be for sale. Go through your list until you find one that does not seem to have a web site attached to it.



If you have found one you like that seems to be available you can go to whois.com and type in the web address to verify if it is already registered to someone. If not, a domain name can be purchased for one or more years at a time at price generally under $20.

If the domain name you want is not available, you may consider something other than a .com address. You can choose to set up a .net, .biz or .org site. A smartbizchoice would be to avoid the temptation. Remember that someone who has registered the .com domain that you want for your business can potentially attract customers away from you if they sell a similar product. Since .com is the original ending of web addresses most people automatically assume most business web addresses have the .com ending.

Choices does suggest that you try to find a .com address that works for your business and then pick up the .net, .biz and .org addresses as well to prevent potential competitors from riding on your web tails and stealing some of your business.Some sources also suggest picking up the site name you choose and also the one with your chosen name followed by sucks.com. Since acquiring and hosting sites are so inexpensive these days there are increasing stories of disgruntled customers picking up business names with the sucks.com ending and posting negative feedback against businesses that has caused irreparable damage.We leave this decision to your discretion.


Choices can acquire your URL and set up your business web site and blog quickly. Call us at 678-389-9687 to get your business on the web.
