Domain Names DCS does it for you

Every website needs a domain name. It's the name people use to find your site on the Internet. For example, the domain name for this website is Connecticut Website Design - DCS Websites - Website Design, Development, Hosting, Marketing, and Maintenance "DCSWEBSITES.COM". But before you can use a domain name, it must be registered through the proper channels. Once it's registered, you can use that name until your registration expires.

DCS takes all the hassle out of this process. We'll help you pick an appropriate name, register it for you, notify you when it's nearing expiration, and renew the registration for you to keep it from expiring. Domain registration is the necessary first step on virtually every website project, and just one of the ways DCS makes the entire process simple for you.

Technically Speaking

Every computer on the internet has a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses are numerical, and look something like this: '123.45.678.90'.

While it's easy for computers to remember and use these addresses, it's not so easy for most people to remember them, and so the domain naming system (DNS) was created.

As a result, you can type a site's unique domain name, 'www.abc-widgets.com' into your browser. A special computer (called a DNS server) will automatically translate that name into it's corresponding IP address, '123.45.678.90'.

Getting Registered

So you have decided to establish a website. Now the question is, how do you register a domain name? There are hundreds of registrars out there, each offering different prices and service levels.

You can do it yourself through one of these online portals, or you can simply pick up the phone and call your "Web Guy" - DCS Websites. We offer this service as part of every website we build. Contact us today for more information.
