Answers:
Q: Who will own the domain name of my city directory?
A: WorldWideCityGuides.com will purchase and retain ownership of the domain name, unless you prefer to purchase this yourself. We will also take care of basic hosting costs for you!
Top
Q: Can I choose my own domain?
A: Yes! You can choose from any available domain name. Effective 4-1-2007 you may no longer register or use a domain name that has a "county name" in it (unless your cities name is the same as the name of your county). You are grandfathered in and will not be required to change your domain name if you registered it prior to 4-1-2007 and it includes your county name.

Q: Am I limited to a certain number of advertiser's for my directory?

Top
Q: If businesses can list their own company, will I have control over who lists their business in my directory?
A: Yes! Even though businesses can input their own company information, it will not be published to the website directory until after the administrator of the site (you) has approved it. This is the same for classified ads and just about any other visitor submitted content. You will maintain total control over submissions.
Top
Q: How long does it take to build my site after ordering?
A: Your site will be completed and released into your care 5 business days after we receive your order. Most of this waiting period is due to the typical 72 hour time from it will take for the nameservers on your new domain name to fully propagate. In most cases, you may have your site in less than 3 days.
