If you want your own web site then the three main parts that you need are the domain name (e.g., www.drolexwebdesign.com), the web site, and a server or host to store your site and make it available to others on the internet. When we say web site, we are referring to the comprising files (e.g. html and php files). In addition to designing web sites, we at Drolex Web Design can host your web site on our servers whether we build it or not. We will allow you to have full control with cPanel -- the best web server control panel today. Here is a short list of some more details about our hosting service:

Domain Name Purchase and Management
As mentioned above in our web hosting service, a Domain Name is one of the three main needed parts to have your own web site on the interent. Your domain name identifies your web pages -- it is the base address of your web site. If you hosted a web site without a domain name, then people would have to navigate to your site with the IP address of your server (e.g. 74.102.264.734). We would rather have people memorize DrolexWebDesign.com to get to our site. It turns out that you need to purchase your domain from a domain registrar, input your information, decide whether you want private, business or plain registration among other things, make yearly payments, change the nameservers to those of your hosting server, and so on. We think that our customers consider it a valuable service for us to manage their domain names by doing everything from purchasing to transfering or canceling. We will take care of everything and you will never have to log into the control panel at your registrar to make any changes or complaints. You just pay us a flat rate and we'll pay them and do the rest!
