What is the World Wide Web?

The World Wide Web is the most visually exciting and rapidly expanding part of the Internet. Since it's development at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), the Web has grown into a sprawling, international network of multimedia computers (known as Web Servers). Netfeed provides you with the capability to access this network and become a part of the ever growing potential this new medium has to offer. The Web allows you to present much more than standard print media to your prospective customers. Using the Web's advanced capabilities you can present your products or services in full multimedia fashion including sounds, graphics and video clips. The Web can also be interactive and allow visitors to your site to leave feedback or fill out forms used to actually place orders and request further information.

The Importance of Your Homepage

The front door to your Web Site is referred to as your Homepage. This page introduces the visitor to you or your business and gives them some information as to the content of the remainder of your site. This page can contain any combination of graphics, such as pictures and company logos, text, and other media (sounds for example). Your homepage is the most important part of your Web presence. A Custom designed Web Page with attractive graphics, text, and some of the latest HTML features can make the most of your opportunity to generate new business or distribute information about your company or organization.

Search Engines

No matter how fantastic your Homepage is, it does you no good if it can't be found amidst the myriad thousands of pages available to the web surfer already suffering from information overload. How do you make sure that people Find Your Site? The answer is, by listing your URL (Uniform Resource Locator) with the major Internet Search Engines that have sprung up to help organize the vast amount of information content available on the Internet. A URL is your virtual address in cyberspace. It is much like your Street Address in the real world. Each Web Site has it's own unique "address" (URL). This is what people refer to when the wish to go to your Site on the Web. Part of our complete Web Site Service involves listing your Site with the most popular Search Engines on the Web. When your site appears in a list of sites returned by a search engine after being prompted for a particular key word or phrase it appears to the user as a "Link" The underlined portions of this page that appear initially in blue are all links to other pages or to specific sections of this page. After retrieving this list all the user needs to do is "point and click" on the link and they will be instantly transported to your address on the web!

Domain Names

A Domain Names is a more personalized address (URL) on the World Wide Web. It makes it easier for people to remember where you are in case they wish to return to your site or tell others how to get there. Without a domain name your address on the Web would be something like:

http://www.netfeed.com/yourname

With a custom Domain Name your address would appear as:

http://www.yourname.com

All Domain Names must be unique and are maintained by the InterNIC Registry. Once registered it cannot be used by any other person or organization. We can help you determine if the domain name of your choice is already taken. InterNIC charges a fee of $70 for the first two years of registration and $35 per year after that. InterNIC also requires that there be an active website where the domain name is assigned. This prevents people from registering multiple domain names simply to secure them for future use. Before applying for your InterNIC registration you need to have decided on a Web Server for your Site. Whether you choose to register your own domain or pursue your initial online presence without a domain name, our professional HTML programmers can help you make the most of the very latest Web Techniques. As always if you have any questions please feel free to call and speak with our knowledgeable staff at (209) 529-6389 or fill in our Information Request form via the web and we will reply via the avenue of your choice.
