A domain is the name of the website or URL, and is sometimes called the host name. www.dwli.net is our domain and website.
Subdomain is a second website, with its own unique content, but there is no new domain name. http:// help.dundee.net is an example of a subdomain.

We have hosted websites since 1997, normally under the domain of Dundee Internet Services. In 2001, we registered a domain www.dwli.net intending to use it for another project. As a web site host, we have worked with many different people from a variety of industries. Hosting for some strange, (very strange), small businesses, individuals, big corporations and non-profit organizations. Some people told us they were lucky to find us, wish they knew we were around before they signed contracts with other hosting firms, consider it magic how fast everything appeared and so on – so being the majority of us are Irish, lucky to work at such a great company and love the magic of the Internet (plus the four letter domain we owned) Digital Web Leprechauns™ fit us perfectly.
FAQ For Municipalities
With open platforms like WordPress, municipalities retain full ownership of their website, structure, and content. Proprietary systems typically restrict access to the CMS and may limit how content can be exported or moved in the future.
Many municipal website vendors charge an ongoing platform or licensing fee in addition to hosting and support. Ask whether costs are tied to software licensing or strictly to services you choose to use.
Some platforms require multi-year contracts. Others allow municipalities to continue services month-to-month or annually. Understanding contract terms helps avoid surprises later.
Ask whether everyday updates—such as posting agendas, minutes, notices, or news—can be done easily by clerks and staff without ongoing vendor involvement or retraining.
A structured, date-based approach makes it easier for residents to find information and helps staff maintain records consistently over time. Template-based systems may require more manual organization.
This is a critical question. Ask how easily your website and content can be moved if your needs change. Platforms that avoid vendor lock-in give municipalities greater long-term flexibility and control.
