"I need a web site. Where do I start?"

1. Secure a domain name.
A domain name is the address for your web site (such as example.com or www.pcsworld.net). It's how your web site will be found by your visitors. To purchase or check availability for a specific domain, visit our Domains section. Once you register a domain name, it can only be used by you during the period for which you reserve it (usually a year or more). Domain registration does not create a web site or any e-mail accounts for you. For that, you need a web host.

2. Choose our hosting package for your domain.
Every web site you visit is actually just some files on a computer somewhere. We call those computers "servers" because they serve web pages to visitors. Serving web pages is commonly known as web hosting. PCS provides web hosting services and has many packages to choose from. If you are new to making web sites, we recommend starting out with our Starter Plan, since you can always upgrade later. If you intend to sell products and accept payment through your web site, you will need our Basic Plan or you can contact us to determine the best services to use.

3. "Point" your domain at your web host.
If you registered your domain through PCS World Network, you do not need to make any more changes. If you registered your domain through any other registrar (like Network Solutions or Verisign), you will need to log into your account there and update the name servers. If you intend to host at PCS World Network, set the name servers to ns1.hookupz.com and ns2.hookupz.com. It may take up to three days for the new name server setting to go into effect.

4. Create, upload and edit your web site
Now, all you have to do is create a web site on your computer and then upload it to the PCS servers. Though it may be tuff and time consuming you can create descent web sites without expensive tools, but if you don't have the time or now how - We can create a web site with a professional presence for you. Just give us a call at (888)568-4PCS (4727) or email us at sales@pcsworld.net.

That's it!
