Establishing Your URL

After you have created your webpage, there are two methods of setting up your URL; Personal or Commercial.

PERSONAL: Every Nemont customer is assigned 10 megabytes of webspace free with their Internet account. This means that every NCI customer can use this space for whatever they like at no additional charge, provided the website does not exceed 10 meg. (A megabyte is the measurement of space on the server. Ten megabytes is more than adequate for a website) This space can be accessed by anyone on the Internet. The address is www.nemont.net/~username.

For Example: If your username or email address is customer or customer@nemont.net - then the address of your personal space would be www.nemont.net/~customer. Those individuals wanting to access your site would simply type in that address from anywhere to view it.

We have a directory of these websites listed under Local Links in the navigation on the left. This is an economical way of advertising a home business or just keeping grandma in touch with the grandkids from across the country!

COMMERICAL: Many businesses prefer to register a domain name. These URLs, or web addresses, are easier to remember but do incur additional costs.

For Example: If my business name is Trouble Shooters then I may want to register a domain name of www.troubleshooters.com.

These URL's are registered with a registrar like Network Solutions which located at www.networksolutions.com. There will be a fee for domain name registration. Nemont will register your URL for you at the cost of $10. If you will be registering your own domain name and will have Nemont host this page you will need the following settings for the registration:

Nemont will host your website for a monthly charge of $25.00 per month. At which time the commercial website account is set up, a username and password is assigned to the owner for access to that space. Please see FTP instructions for help transferring your files to the Internet. Please contact our office at 1-800-636-6680 or email us at help@nemont.net if you have any further questions.
