What is Website Hosting?

One of the most asked questions by new Website clients is, "what is Web hosting and why do I need it?".  Here's the answer....
Hosting provides your website with a physical on-line home and address where it can be accessed anytime day or night by Internet users in general.  A hosting service such as ours is the traditional alternative to procuring your own high speed, full time internet connection with static IP address, setting up your own Web and Email servers, and maintaining the system 24 hours a day.  The alternative not only requires certain expertise but tends to be very expensive.

Whether you are creating your own Website or we are developing it for you, you will want to review the features that are available with your hosting services listed below.
