Starting a Website

After my last post, I decided it would be wise to invest a few bucks to grab my proposed domain name: adultguitar.com. In the harsh light of the day after, I have second thoughts about the name: does it sound too fuddy-duddy for my target market, which may be trying to recapture some of their youth? Regardless, the name is mine.The experience of establishing a domain name was quite easy, as I expected it to be. Domain registrars have had years to perfect the process. I went with Register.com, and am glad I did. buried in the fine print at the bottom of their website is info referencing awards they won from J. D. Powers for quality of customer service. As a newbie to setting up a site, I had opportunity to find out how good their customer service might be…..In mid-December, I switched to an iMac after having Gateway PCs for more than 10 years. Most of the switch has gone painlessly, with the exception of my Quicken program. But setting up a mail account for the mailbox at my new domain wasn’t happening last night. So I left a message for technical support at register.com. The form letter told me to expect help within 24 business hours. With the holidays, I wasn’t optimistic they would meet that time frame.So imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to find my answer waiting for me. It was a simple thing I was doing wrong, but their standard on-line documentation wasn’t helping me figure it out. With the help of their e-mail, I was up and running in minutes. Even before my first cup of coffee! The only thing missing was a return address to send my compliments on a job well done.
