Anyone with an experience in launching a website under new company banner?
I've started a handful of small websites. The process usually starts with getting a domain name through one of many companies which are in the business of selling domain name registrations. One I have used is domaindirect.com.
I am planning on launching a website and was wondering if I will have to start my own company for the copyright issues, etc.
You can get a domain name and start a website without incorporating your company in the eyes of the state, which is what I assume you imply when you mention starting your own company. But of course you can start a company without incorporating.
Now you might get into trouble if you use a name that someone else claims, or thinks mimics their name too closely. In such a case you might get sued by them.
I have always (1) registered the domain name, (2) arranged for hosting of the site at a hosting company, and (3) prepared the content of the website, in three separate steps. Although, as the answer from Arnold Angel might imply, there are companies that sell all three services together; Google on "web site hosting" to find some.
Would muchly appreciate if anyone can share their startup experience.. and also of any good (and well, relatively less expensive) law firms in the Triangle area for doing this stuff?
I have started non-profit corporations, although not business corporations, by filling out the paperwork myself, not using a lawyer. And I started and ran a business company once without incorporating it.
Probably you can just get your domain name and build your site and forget about lawyers and the state, unless you are doing something that might get you sued, or unless you hope to raise venture capital in which case you may need to give your prospectus a lawyerish look.
