The quick answer is : YES! Although it’s not the single most important factor, because people are increasingly using browser bookmarks and subscription tools like RSS feeds. But that’s not all, here are some other important tips to remember and is the old-school way of thinking about domains:

• is short
• is easy to remember
• is easy to spell
• is descriptive or brand-able
• does not contain hyphens and numbers
• recommended a .com extension

The biggest flaw on the argument of people that don’t think that domains play an important role on the success of websites lies on the assumption that web surfers will bookmark or subscribe to a given website right after visiting it.

That is not the case. Most people need to come across a website several times before making the decision to bookmark it or to subscribe to its service, an interesting fact is the average person needs to see an ad/product at least 30 times before purchasing.

On the first visit they will come to that site via a link on another website or on a search engine. The domain name, however, will play an important role on the subsequent visits. If it is short, easy to remember and easy to spell, a visitor will not have a problem going back to that site in the future. If the domain is very long, hard to remember and hard to spell, however, there are great chances that the visitor will end up somewhere else, and will probably never return.

*remember: Your website is the first impression, what is your design telling customers?

We always receive comments of how easy we are do to business with, honestly we just treat our customers the same way we would want to be treated and would never sell you something you don’t need for your business. We have many comments from the Better Business Bureau about happy clients simply because we build on referrals and people like you, thank you for your business!

A well designed data center can handle a multitude of issues, from an interruption in power by the utility company, to a broken air conditioning unit, to a major storm. So we are taking proper maintenance practices for the data center to run smoothly and without interruption.

You may rest assured that if you are hosting your websites at Incantrix we have already begun the process to switch to the new IPv6 standard up from IPv4 (ex: 192.168.1.1) which allowed 4,294,967,296 IP addresses when this was decided back in 1980, of course at the time programmers/engineers thought this would be more than enough for thousands of computer networks in the world.
With the recent exploding market of smart phones there has been a need to have the new standard of IPv6 sooner than expected; in February 2010, the International Telecommunications Union announced that the number of cell phones worldwide is now over 4.6 billion with “smart phones” . These are phones that require a unique IP address. Smart phone usage is growing by thousands every month; in the first half of 2010 vendors shipped a total of 119.4 MILLION smart phones, an increase of 55.5% over the first half of 2009.

So when the rollout of IPv6 is complete there will be just about 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 IP addresses. Gosh, this should get us where we want to be. :)

After much hard work and organizing our infrastructure we are excited to announce that our new Incantrix website is up. We have always valued dedication and taking care of our clients first, which is why our phase of working on own website has been put on hold a few times. :)

We now offer referral rewards to existing and non-existing clients in order to help those who have already sent us referrals and encourage others that there is such thing as a host who cares about your web presence as much as you do. We would love to hear your comments and suggestions on how we are doing and what you think about our new design; you may do so by clicking on the “comment” link below or send us a message!

Thank you to our valued clients. You may subscribe to our feed, to get our updates and tips and tricks for your own websites. We are even on Facebook, check us out.

What is a web host?

A web host is a company that provides you with server space for your web site. This includes all of the files associated with your web site, scripts, a database, email system etc. When your web address is typed into a browser, the web host displays the pages for you of your entire site.

How much does it cost?

Well we all know the old cliche? “you get what you pay for”. It still holds true when you pick a hosting provider. Many people will purchase a plan that costs about $2.95 a month, but this is very limited support and probably does not include many extras. Be sure to read the small print! Here at Incantrix, we want you to check around, we offer a lot of extra’s for our plans compared to other web hosts. Our plans start at $19.95/month and this all includes the most important elements of hosting which is the storage, bandwidth and our excellent customer support.

What is web storage?

Storage is the available space a host will give you for all your files including images, html files, php files, etc. Typically an average web site will need a minimum of 200MB available space for their site to run.

What is bandwidth?

Bandwidth is the amount of traffic that is allowed to occur between your web site and the rest of the internet. Bandwidth is used via transfers by FTP or most common people viewing your site by using a web browser. The amount of bandwidth a hosting company can provide is determined by their network connections, both internal to their data center and external to the public internet.

How much bandwidth do I need?

Figuring how much bandwidth you need depends on many different factors such as the size of your pages, how many images, and whether or not people will download files from your site. Most all hosting plans have requirements for how much bandwidth used each month. Here at Incantrix we like to be sure you are receiving enough bandwidth to not have to worry about it, other companies won’t tell you went over on your bandwidth and you will need to pay a ton in overages.

Do you have Contracts?

No, we do not believe in being obligated to stay with a company if you are not happy with their service. We also offer 30 day money back guarantees. We have never had someone cancel because of “bad service”; we take great pride in that!

I am currently hosting my sites elsewhere and would like to transfer, how can I do this?

It’s actually simpler than you think… We will need your FTP info and possibly your registrar information to change over your name servers when the transfer is complete. Simply contact us and we will take care of the rest.
