The first step to getting a website is to purchase a domain name.

What is a domain name?

It is the same as "website name" or "Internet Address". Technically, this is sometimes referred to as a "URL" (universal resource locator).

Basically it is the Internet address that people type in their web browser to find your site on the web.

Like the URLs www.yahoo.com or www.jade7.com. Our domain name is jade7.com.

You can purchase one with credit card for periods of one to ten years.

We sell domain names for less than $10 per year.

The current price at the number one selling domain name registrar is $20 to $29 per year.

How do we sell them for $10 per year? We are a reseller and can choose our retail price. We would rather sell them to you for less and sell more domain names than compete with the large retailers.

All domain names are registered to one central location, so it doesn't matter where you purchase your domain name. Once you own it, no one else can register that domain name.

So, once you purchase your domain name you can begin putting that domain name on your business cards and other literature with the confidence of knowing that it is exclusively your domain name as long as you pay the annual fees. Our renewal fees are the same as the purchase fee and will always be less than $10 per year.

We also provide you with the tools to direct your domain name to any hosting company of your choice. This way you have complete control of your domain name and to which company is hosting your website.

We have seen many cases where companies purchase domain names only to later hold the domain owners "hostage" by not releasing the domain name controls over to them. We like to focus on web design while giving our clients full control over their domain names.

Once you have purchased a domain name with us you set up an account with your own username and password.

As you purchase more domain names in the future you can choose to have them all under that one account or you may set up several accounts.

When you decide to move your website to a different hosting company you simply log into your account, click on the domain name of your choice and click a button and you're done!
