| Do I get email with my site?
|
| |
A website means that you can have an email address using your domain name. For instance, you can have an email address be you@yourdomain.com. This email address can be set up to forward mail to an existing email address that you already have, or Moose Enterprises can assist you in using the address in a more tradional way, using either a web based email client, or a client program like Outlook Express. |

| What is a "domain"?
|
| |
A domain is usually a name for your website, such as yourdomain.com. Domain registrars charge money to register your domain, and most "good" .com domains are already registered. There are other domains available, such as the .biz, .net, and .org domains. |

|
|
| What about search engines?
|
| |
Moose Enterprises will submit your site to popular search engines such as Yahoo, MSN and AOL. The process takes several weeks to several months.
If you wish, you can use the pay services of these sites to promote your website. Moose Enterprises does not provide this service unless specifically contracted to.
Moose Enterprises cannot guarantee placement in any search engines, nor that a site will be listed at all. |
