Domain Name
You will need a website address, otherwise no one will be able to visit
your site. Some breeders choose to use geocites free hosting option
if you don't mind a longer web address (http://www.geocities.com/your
cattery) or having their advertisement banners plastered all your pages
or even having your site temporary taken offline due to their bandwith
limitations.
Another choice would be to get a custom domain name that you can choose,
(http://www.yourcattery.com). This can range anywhere between $9.95
a year and up.
Hosting
In order to upload your new website to the Internet, you will need to
be set up with a hosting service. This is where all your files/images
will be stored. Elsewhere this can cost anywhere between $9.95 a month
and up depending on your site specifications.
But why pay more for options you may not even need.....generally twenty
mega-bites is more than sufficient for most medium size cattery sites.
Having tried a variety of hosting services over the years, we found
a particular one popular with most clients and hosting is absolutely
free when you purchase a domain name for only $25 a year.
Website
Maintenance
Another thing to think about is your web site maintenance needs. An
important part of keeping your website up-to-date with fresh content,
link/banner exchange and new photos. This can range from $40, pay only
the months required or go with a yearly plan, with unlimited site updates
and maintenance.
The
popularity of having a cattery web site is increasing more and more each
year. Exhibitors can place photos of their cats on their web site, and
share about their accomplishments at the shows instantly and for free,
compared to waiting many months for it to appear in a magazine or Yearbook
paying hundreds of dollars for a full-page color ad.
