Domain Names

How much does a website cost?

There are four basic costs.

1. domain name registration

2. web hosting

3. web design and development

4. maintenance

Domain Name Registration

You must register a domain name for your business. The name must comply with certain rules. It will cost around $26 for a "www.yourbusiness.com.au" name for two years.

A well-chosen domain name can help customer recognition and increase traffic. It is increasingly more difficult to acquire a catchy domain name so a little imagination is required and certain restrictions on names apply, particularly to the ".com.au" domains.

Web Hosting

Most small business website hosting requirements fit into the $65 to $120 per year price bracket depending on the size and technology required for your site. MIA webdesigns Recommend and use an Australian

based Hosting Service Provider: "CRIKEY INTERNET HOSTING".

Web Design and Development

Websites vary considerably in size and complexity and so does the time and therefore cost to build them. In a nutshell, you are paying for the time involved in building the site and the level of expertise required to make it work. Most of the websites we design cost between $899 and $4000

Maintenance

The Internet is a dynamic environment and stale web sites just get passed over. Your site needs to change regularly to keep visitors coming back.
