Web Hosting

Affordable Web Hosting

A web host is a server/computer which provides a home for your website on the World Wide Web. Just as your computer contains all your files, so a host server contains all the files needed to display your webpages to the world. Why can't you just keep all those files on your own computer? Because that would mean users would have to connect directly to your computer to see your website. Not a good idea-it wouldn't be secure and it would make your machine run like a tired snail.

Using a web host, you can simply upload all the files you need to the web server and your users can then connect there to see your site. It lets the site run faster and allows it to have all the security and extras it needs. Selecting a web host is the first important step towards building your Internet business. Web hosting services and companies vary from totally free, shared web servers to large-scale dedicated machines.

You'll have to decide which is the right hosting plan for you and your business. To help you make that decision, study the following tables: Your choice of server will depend on how much money you have available at the beginning and how much you plan to grow in the future. In my opinion, for commercial sites, free hosting is a waste of time. Your users are going to get blasted with annoying pop-up ads every time they visit your page, also it's going to be impossible to get a decent position in the search engines.
