- Register your own domain
A Better Computer, Inc. is now a domain provider. .COM and .NET
domains are $10/year. There is a full range of other top-level domains
available at reasonable prices, depending on the sales manager and the phase
of the moon. (.org, .info, .name, .biz, .us, etc.)
Visit
http://www.ABCInc-Domains.com1
to see if your domain is available.
Online payment for your account is still under construction. Your best bet
is to set up a customer account now, then use PayPal to put some money into
it. Once it is funded you can use the credit to pay for - and renew - your
domains.
Here is a
PDF file1 with some
helpful hints about setting up your file.

Plan 1 is truly a beginner's site. The bandwidth is sufficient to
move the 40MB to a lot of visitors. This html page is only 19KB
(including the hands at the bottom), and you could have 26,000 visitors
before you needed to worry about using up your bandwidth.
Your website will have an industry-standard interface
called cPanel, (cPanel
Demo) (cPanel
user Manual) and you can monitor how much bandwidth you are using by
glancing at the "General Account Information" on the left side of cPanel.

- Disk Space
- This is the amount of room on your webserver for web pages and images.
Once you load your web pages, this won't change unless you are using
mailing lists or data bases.
- Bandwidth
- This includes all the traffic in and out of your website. You need
to visit your website at least once a week to see how much bandwidth
you've used.
- Email Accounts
- You will need a Postmaster account, at a minimum. These are regular
Internet email accounts. You can download them using Outlook or Outlook
Express. You can also read your email online.
- FTP Accounts
- You will have a master FTP account to upload your web pages. But you
can also assign a FTP account if you have someone helping you but you do
not want to give them full access to your website.
- Parked Domains
- This is a handy tool. A Better Computer, Inc., hosts the website for
the Early Bird Dinner Theatre. We have both spellings of theatre
(theatre,
theater) going to the same website.

Credit Card Payments
Referral link from ABCInc:
2Checkout.com
In September, A Better Computer, Inc., signed up for a service to allow you to use a credit
card to pay for your services with us. In their welcoming email they said:
As you design your website, please realize that it is important to the credit card associations
and 2CO that the relationship between vendors and 2CO is not misrepresented. Vendors
(A Better Computer, Inc.) should represent 2CO as an authorized retailer or out-sourced vendor solution,
not as a 'credit card processor' or 'payment gateway.' Vendors (ABCInc) do have artistic license
to incorporate this depiction into the context of their site provided they do not misrepresent the
relationship.
