Your Domain Name |
|
|
|
|
If you own a domain name, we can
host it at your account. Your web space will be accessibe by a personalized URL in the form of
http://www.<YOURDOMAIN>.com
This will make your account look
like a stand-alone website and it will be easier to remember. You will
be able to submit independently to search engines and get listed in major
directories like Yahoo! At the same time, your Artist Gallery will still
be part of MesArt and will be accessible from our MesArt pages, Search
and Artist Directory. |
|
|
|
|
Personalized URL |
|
|
|
|
Your web space will be accessible
by a personalized URL in the form of http://www.mesart.com/<YOURNAME> |
|
|
|
|
For example, if your username
is jsmith, your art will be accessible at http://www.mesart.com/jsmith |
|
|
|
|
If you have a domain name (see above), your art will also be accessible at
http://www.<YOURDOMAIN>.com |
|
|
|
|
This allows you to put this
URL on your promotional materials, such as business cards and exhibition
catalogs, in addition to providing visitors a direct access to your space. |
