Is Web Advertising for
you?
Web sites for your farm or stallion
business mean the information is available 24 hours a day - 7 days a week
- whenever it is convenient for your customer to view your information..
Real cost of
getting your own web page.
|
| Cost |
What you get |
| Internet
Access |
$22/month or less |
You need to have
a computer and an email address. You can go with your local service provider
- AOL, NETINS are a few locally available. This will run about $22 a month
for unlimited service. Your existing internet access is fine - even if you
can't have a home page. You can also get an email address from yahoo
or hotmail and check your email at your local library or a friend's house
if you do not have a computer. |
| Domain
Name Registration |
$35/year
or
Free |
You need to decided
if you want your own domain name. My domain name is spottedponygraphics.com.
It makes it easier for people to find your website. You can use your stallion's
name if available, your farm name, whatever you want. Domain names cost
about $35 per year. Some places have you pay for two years right away. You
also can get a free domain name from the web hosting company I use. Your
name would be xxx.8m.com. |
| Web
Page Creation |
$50 up to $550 |
Once you have decided
if you need a domain name or are going with your personal email name, it
then is time to set up your web page. I can set you up a 1 page web site
for $50. Larger website with more pages will cost more, usually between
$100-$550. Web site fee includes creating your pages, processing your photos
and graphics and uploading your site to your server. It also includes any
changes to the site for 1 year. After 1 year, we can go two ways - hourly
fee $25 or flat rate either monthly or yearly. This will depend on how often
you will change items on your site. Most people will only need the hourly
rate for minor updates - changing sold and unsold horses, adding baby pictures,
etc. |

Server
Hosting |
$50 to $150 per
year. |
Internet providers
like AOL and Netins will not let you use your own domain name. This is easy
to work around by using Freeservers.com. You can get 10mg of webspace with
banners for $50 a year or trade up to 50mg of webspace without banners or
pop ups for $150 year. These are maintence fees for me to maintain your
website along with any charges that Freeservers bill. |
|
If you already
have internet, I can set you up with a web page for about the cost of
one stud fee. Take a look at some of the stallion sites on the Internet.
They have alot of people looking at their sites.
