Q: How do you determine the price of a domain name?
A: Simple. Selling domain names works the same way as selling
your car, selling your house, or selling anything. We base our prices on
what we think the domain names are worth. That doesn't mean we're unreasonable or heartless though! Contact us
with your offer and we'll talk!
Q: Why do I need a domain name + web design +
hosting + SEO?
A: Each of these is one integral part of having your website, and
without any one of them, your site wouldn't be available on the
internet.
Web design is the process of creating the different kinds of files that make up a web site, including .html, .asp, .cgi, .jpg, .gif, .mdb, Flash, Swish and many more. A web designer creates the architecture for your web site, puts the graphic and text content in place, and arranges all the files so that they interact properly when being downloaded by your site visitors.
Hosting is basically renting a piece of someone else's hard drive. The files that are created by your web designer must be made available for download by internet users 24/7, and that is accomplished by uploading them to a computer known as a server. When someone browses your web site, they're actually downloading lots of files simultaneously from a remotely located server computer. These servers are generally owned by hosting service providers like GoDaddy, which is who we use.
A domain name is the address where your files reside, like the street address for your house. Every computer that is logged on to the internet has a unique IP address, and that's what your URL (or domain name) represents: the IP address(es) for the files that make up your web site, located on the server computer.
SEO stands for search engine optimization. Search engines are like the yellow pages of the internet; they're where internet users go to look for things online. That's very important to know, because over 90% of all web traffic comes from them. Your web site won't do you or anyone else any good until it can be found by people using search engines! As its name suggests, Search Engine Optimization is the art and science of getting your web site ranked well in the search engines like Yahoo and Google.
Q: Where can I see examples of your
pre-built web sites?

displayed at Lockjaw Domains.
Q: What methods of payment do you accept?
