Custom Recommendations for Home Users

Home is where you hang your hat. It's a place you can call your own. Let Ampersat.net help you build your home on the 'Net.

In the physical world, your home has an address to distinguish it from other homes and describe how to get there. On the Internet, your home is your domain name. Unlike a physical address that is determined by location, your Internet address is determined by you through domain registration.

Here are some steps to follow when building your home on the 'Net:

1. Register your domain name. This is the most important step in building your home on the 'Net. Good domain names disappear every day. If you are interested in a particular domain name, get it soon. It may no longer be available the next time you look. Transfer your domain name if you already have one and start experiencing the Ampersat.net difference.
2. Protect your privacy on the 'Net with Private Registration of your domain name. This will prevent your personal information (name, address, phone number, and e-mail) from becoming publicly available via the whois database, where scammers and spammers may take advantage of it. Private registration is similar in concept to an unlisted number.
3. Sign up for an Email Account. A domain name is only an address unless it has e-mail or hosting associated with it. An e-mail account provides a place for e-mail to be received and stored until retrieved.
   All domain names registered through Ampersat.net come with FREE Complete E-Mail.
4. Sign up for Web Hosting or WebSite Tonight® to be able to create and share your own web pages. Web hosting is the most flexible option and works well for those familiar with creating and maintaining web pages (via Dreamweaver, Frontpage, etc.). WebSite Tonight® is great for creating professional web sites quickly and easily and requires no additional software.

Here are a few more tools to help establish your home on the 'Net:

• Store and share files on the 'Net using Online File Folder™. All you need is an Internet connection to have easy access to your data.
• Sign up for Fax Thru Email™ and use your e-mail address as a fax machine and any available fax machine as a printer.
• Keep the family calendar in sync using the Online Group Calendar.
