Web Site Hosting

Every website is made up of files, just like in a file folder in a file cabinet. You send your files to the web hosting company, like us, and we upload them to our server and give it a file name, which is under your domain name.

When you type in your domain name into a browser like Internet Explorer or Fire Fox, the request goes all over the internet looking for the server that has your domain and the files attached to it. And Bingo, it appears on your screen!

There are thousands of web hosting companies out there ready to offer you a great deal. It is important you do some research before making your choice in hosting services.

Here are some things to consider when choosing your web hosting company for your business:

1. Do they require contracts to host or can you cancel anytime?
2. Do they provide you with access (called FTP) to your web site so you can make changes if you choose?
3. Are there web site statistics to see where and what traffic is coming to your site?
4. How are their prices? Are they offering a 'deal' only to get you in and raise the rates (think of phone companies)?
5. Do they provide technical support without sounding like a bunch of geeks?
6. Is there somone there during the day to answer your calls and not a bunch of wait time and answering machines?
7. How long have they been in business? Are they reliable? What sort of hosting servers do they provide?

We provide all this and more! View our hosting packages.
