Getting Started - First Step: Find out your needs.
This will be a free evaluation of your existing website Or a brief discussion of the wants and needs of your future website. Call Wolfdreams 561-305-7221 (no private number calls or blocked ID calls are answered) or email: sbk4028@aol.com (please identify yourself in the email, leave phone number and a brief description of what you want your website to be). You will be rewarded for your patience with our low prices and dedication to you and your website. Part 1: Domains & Hosts: WolfDreams is not in the domain name selling business. You will need to secure your best choice of a domain name for your website. All domain sellers do the same thing - some charge as much as $35 a year. I personally recommend http://www.hostway.com ($8 per year) or GoDaddy.com ($10 per year). After you purchase this web address from Hostway or GoDaddy (don't let your domain seller sell you other things you don't need), you will log on to your domain manager and change over your name servers to WolfDreams name servers (the $25 & $50 specials) or your own hosting account. For WolfDreams hosted websites, you will be changing the name servers to: NS297.HOSTGATOR.COM For those opting for their own hosting account, HostGator will notify you by email with all the important information you will need, including your name servers. It will take about 12 hours to propagate throughout the internet. Once that process is complete, they will notify you. by email and we are ready to transfer your newly purchased web address ("managing your domain servers") to your host. Meanwhile, keep track of all log-on names, usernames and passwords you acquired along the way. If you require your own hosting account:
Part 2: Prepare and send your text and photos. Send as little or as much information as you need. You can send you page content in your email or in a Word file. I will optimize any pictures you send for faster page loading. Part 3: Choose your preferences. Depending on the extent of your website needs and the written material you send to me, you should have a website published to one of my test domains for your approval. When the webiste is worked to your specifications and satisfaction, I can publish it to your domain.
