The address of your website is known (in technospeak) as the
Uniform Resource Locator or URL. With
,
your website has 3 options for a URL as follows:
|
|
 |
 |

The standard URL for our websites is http://clubs.plantsgalore.com
(no .www needed). When a visitor enters this site in their browser
(Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, AOL, etc.) they will be taken
to a webpage that lists all the websites hosted by
.
Your site will be listed in alphabetical order along with your city
and state.

For a small extra fee, you can have a sub-domain
URL for your website. For example, if you are from the
Goutweed Society of America, you can have a sub-domain URL of something
like goutweed.plantsgalore.com or gsa.plantsgalore.com.
This would take visitors directly to your site without having to visit
an index page first.

|
 |

A more expensive but personalized option is to have your own Domain
Name. You could have a URL such as goutweedsociety.org
or goutweed.org depending
on the availability of your desired name.
Once you have registered your name successfully, it is exclusively
yours as long as you pay a renewal fee every two years. However, you
would also have to house the site at an Internet Service Provider
(ISP) which involves an additional monthly fee.
