The first important step to getting your company or family on-line is an Internet portal connection.
ADSL is the standard system that uses your BT telephone line to connect your PC to the Internet. Please note that
you must have a BT phone line to subscribe to ADSL. You will need an ADSL modem to connect to the system, however
most providers include the modem when you subscribe to their service.
The ADSL router usually includes a built in fire wall. The fire wall protects your PC from other users on the
Internet accessing your PC(Hacker Attack). the router will also allow more than one PC
on a network to access the Internet. A wireless router will allow you to easily access the Internet using your
wireless laptop or other device anywhere within range.
Ourserve do not supply Internet connections, though we are happy to advise
and install any hardware purchased through us for an additional fee.
Next you will need a chosen domain name. As a guide try
to keep the name short and as close to your business name as possible. For families An Ourserve email address is
quite adequate, for example: john.smith@ourserve.net Of course individuals and families may also choose a
domain name of their own too: john@smith1005.co.uk the 1005 has been added because the smith.co.uk domain
name will have been registered many times. The advantage of an ourserve email address is that most names will still
be available. For a company, the company name is best: john@Southernsalesandservices.co.uk This is an example
of an unacceptably long name, this could be shortened too:john@southernsales.co.uk Companies will also use
the domain name for access to their web site i.e. www.southernsales.co.uk It is important to remember that
you must have no gaps (spaces) in you domain name and most symbols are illegal. It is best to use just letters,
numbers, and either a hyphen or underscore. The easier and shorter the name the better chances of it being
remembered and used correctly. Remember, your web site is your business card for the whole world too see, your
domain name is the key to viewing the card.
