internetservices 

In addition to the 'labs', lofatlabs can be your internet service consultant. What's this?  Glad you asked.  lofatlabs internet services include many of the backend services needed in running a website.

Domain Registration

Domain names are the part of a internet address between the 'www.' and the '.com/org/net.etc...' lofatlabs will attempt to get you the exact domain name you would like to have. However, there are individuals that make a decent living buying and selling domain names. So, if yours is not available for the standard price, lofatlabs will provide you with alternatives and/or the asking price for your domain if it is for sale.

Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing a good domain name:

• Easy to Remember
• Relatively Short (instead of 'www.billsshoesuperstore.com' use 'www.billsshoes.com')
• Business Names are Good
• Different than a Similar Site (you may want to register domain names similar to yours)

Web Hosting

A web hosting service is required to have a website. A hosting service stores all of your information, images, videos, etc... You can host right along side lofatlabs for just $60.00/yr.

Email Service

lofatlabs can set up email service for your new web site. An example of your email address would be 'bill@billsshoes.com'. lofatlabs uses Google Mail for this service because of the excellent spam filter Google offers. You can set up your Outlook, Apple Mail, or other email program to check your mail AND login to mail.yourdomainname.com to check your email anywhere in the world.

Blog

Blogging is great. Not only does it keep your clients and employees or friends and family up to date on what's happening, but it also provides change to your website. The more change the search engines see in your website, the more often they'll visit you and the higher you'll rank in search results.

Internet Business Listings

lofatlabs will list your new business website with three top search engines; Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Live Search. These business listings will also greatly increase your rank in the search results.

Basic internet packages start at $75.00/year for hosting and domain registration. Please check the price list for a more detailed view of cost for lofatlabs' internet services.
