1) Do I need a domain name to open an account?
While most people who have web sites will want to have their own domain names [www.myname.com] it is not required to have have your own hosting account.  We can create an account for you using an IP number [example: 209.120.135.193].

2) Do you accept credits cards for my hosting account fees?
When you register for a web hosting account you will be asked to provide credit card information (credit card/bank debit cards also qualify).  This card will be used to automatically charge either your quarterly or yearly web hosting fees as they come due.

A receipt for each charge event will be sent to you the via e-mail account you will also supply when filling-out the "Register for Your Web Account" form

3) I have a Macintosh computer, can I get a web hosting account from you?
Yes, you should no problems installing, editing, or managing your web site on our servers with one exception.  When you establish an account you will be assigned a Control Panel [accessed just like a web page] through which you will be able to manage your web account.  You can also access a web site usage report [stats usage by people who visit your web site] via this control.  This site reporting is something less than acceptable, however, so an external program is supplied to customers that does a much better job of reporting the statistical usage of your web site, but the Mac exception is, to-date, no Mac version of this external program is available.  Note: the site reporting accessed via your Control Panel DOES work for Macintosh computer users.

4) What limitations are there regarding the content of my web site?
  We are not going to set-down the usual ardent list of cans and can nots. Basically our policy is this, anything illegal anywhere on your web site will result in a notification to remove immediately.  If not, then suspension of the ability to view the web site. 

This is not a Democracy, the powers-that-be have set the precedent that the service supplier [Us] are 100% responsible for what our client base does. So, we have no other recourse to prevent an involuntary stay in prison than to follow this policy. 

Not to worry, we will contact and discuss any issues ASAP if and when they arise before slamming down the hob-nailed boot on your site.  Just be advised much of our actions are dictated to us and not necessarily the opinions of the company.

5)  I do not have a domain name but want one, how do I do that?
  You can get your own domain right here at Key West CyberWorks.  Just click the "Get Your Own Domain" and register your domain name today.  The cost is $24.95 for one-year registration or $54.95 for two-registration.  The domain can also be "parked" for free on the Key West CyberWorks serves until you are ready to use it.

If you already have a registered a domain name somewhere else, it also can be used with no problems.
