The complete process of developing and launching a successful web site is comprised of multiple stages. Each project may require the completion of a variety of these stages. TS Target Sites will take the confusion out of this process by first explaining the different stages and determining if they are beneficial to your project. We will then manage the completion of each stage during the process. We will also assist with the continuing maintenance and optimization of your web site. Our "Worry Free Web Packages" can be tailored to cover the specific needs of your web site project.

Your web site's domain name is used to access your new web pages. Our domain name is "tstargetsites.com" and this what you entered into your web browser to get to our web page. The registration process is designed to prevent others from using your domain name. All domain names must be registered through a "registrar" like Go Daddy and Network Solutions. Registrars will place your new domain name along with your registration contact information on the WHOIS database. (Private registrations are available that hide your personal information.) Once the registration is complete, TS Target Sites will configure the DNS, the Domain Name System, to point your domain name to the your new web site.

It is common practice for businesses to utilize the ability to register multiple domain names and have them all point to the same web pages. This process is called domain forwarding and can greatly improve your chances of attracting visitors. Imagine the fictitious web site "www.example.com" where you can buy both widgets and doodads. A good way to increase search engine placement is to register both "www.examplewidgets.com" and "www.exampledoodads.com". These additional domains would also be valuable while developing marketing plans aimed at specific demographics. Registering various misspellings of your domain name is also suggested, for instance "www.exampel.com".

Web sites are stored on computers called servers. A vast knowledge of network administration and computer hardware is required to successfully configure and maintain a server. Many companies employ departments dedicated to running their corporate servers known commonly as IT, or internet technologies departments. Because of the time demand associated with running your own server, small business owners will commission the services of a hosting company like TS Target Sites to provide hosting for their web site.

At TS Target Sites, we run multiple servers all continuously monitored for optimal connection speeds and 99.99% uptime. Advanced software and hardware systems work to protect your valuable data from harmful viruses and attacks from hackers.

All web hosting packages through TS Target Sites include thorough details about the traffic coming into your site. Such statistics can be used to improve site search engine optimization, track the success of a particular marketing plan, or even determine what web pages are attracting your visitors. Full color graphs make analysis simple for everyone.

TS Target Sites web statistics service offers clients the use of several different analysis programs. Programs such as AWStats and Webalizer produce the most complex series of charts and graphs. Other system allow for viewing your site's bandwidth usage, FTP access logs, and error reports. All statistical reports are updated every 24 hours and are available for viewing at any time.
