If you are like most people, web hosting is one of those technologies that you have heard of. You may even know a little about it. But do you fully understand what it is, why you may need it, and what package is really right for you?
In this article we will educate you on what web hosting
is, why
you may need it, how to choose the right provider,
costs associated with it, etc.
What is Web Hosting?
|
|
|
In order to display a web site to the internet you need
to have a web server. A web server is a specially
configured computer that stores your web site files and
can send or "serve" the web files to the public when
someone requests them. A web hosting company rents
out space on the server just like a landlord would rent
living space in an apartment. Also similar to apartment
rent, the fee for hosting service is typically paid on a
monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

Can I do it myself?
|
| |
|
Yes, you can. And some do. However this can be very
costly and time consuming to maintain. Additionally,
unless you really know your way around servers and
internet security issues, you can open your home or
office network to potential security threats that could
be detrimental to your business. Basically, unless you
have a large budget, have a lot of time to spare and
are server "savvy" you shouldn't attempt this. It's more
safe and cost effective just to rent your hosting from a
company like Narrow Gate Media.

How does hosting effect my ISP?
|
|
|
|
Web hosting has very little to do with your existing
Internet Service Provider. Your ISP should provide
secure access to the Internet, while a web host
provider should provide a secure place to hold your web
site. Sometimes an ISP will provide web hosting and or
email but they generally do not specialize in web
hosting.
