What's in a name?

Despite all you hear about the anarchic, uncontrolled nature of the internet, domain names are highly regulated. In the UK the regulation service is provided by Nominet who will register your www name for a renewable fee - provided someone else hasn't beaten you to it!

Modern Web Design can look after all your needs in this area, securing the right domain name as well as close matches to prevent competitors or others from stealing a march on you. Check if your name is available by clicking the Whois link to the right.

How do I establish my site on the web?

Hosting - or finding an internet service provider to post your site on the web - is all about ensuring your site's design and traffic needs are met. Slow downlaod speeds put people off and, for more complex database driven sites, you need to know that your service provider can supply all the right technologies to make the site work effectively.

Despite the claims, not all service providers will be right for your needs. We'll thoroughly check out your needs and those of your audience before we set you up with a hosting account, ensuring your site is fast, reliable and effective.
