Bizarrely, there are a number of unprofessional companies operating which charge a client for creating a web page or web site and then state on each page that they, the designers, are the copyright holder. Unless the web site owner has signed a contract specifically transferring ownership of the copyright to the web designers these copyright notices are neither correct or enforceable. New Zealand's top-selling computer magazine is, interestingly, an Internet magazine called NetGuide . In the Net Directory at the back of the magazine you'll find a list of professional web design companies. A domain name is the unique name that identifies a web site.
Every web site needs a domain name and there are many benefits to owning one.
It can also be a useful tool for search engine optimisation . Because the registering of a domain name requires the domain name to have already been listed on at least two name servers only those with access to name servers can register a domain name. Most web designers and ISPs can register a domain name on your behalf. Affiliate programs now allow hosting companies like Kudos web design to administer registration fees directly. This is the exactly the same amount as it costs to register a .nz domain name directly through Domainz.
