Designing your web site is only one-half the equation of being
"on the net". The other piece is where to host your website.
Your web site must reside on a web server which is attached to
the internet. There are very important questions related to
hosting including:
- How professional does it need to look?
- How much can I afford to spend? (you can host for free, but there are catches
- How large is my site and how busy will it be (realistically)
- Will it be only basic web pages or am I having streaming media (audio/video)?
- Do I need e-commerce (shopping carts)?
- Do I need database support?
- What religion am I? Unix or Windows 2000/Windows NT?
- How many email mailboxes, mailing lists, or aliases do I need?
- How is it being created? (Microsoft FrontPage or Cold Fusion require specific server items to be available)
- Do I want complete control (and responsibility!) or do I want someone else to handle the technical details for me?
The hosting question is very important. Choosing the wrong host may require you to purchase expensive 'optional' services
from the hosting company or worse, your site may be down on a fairly regular basis.
Let us help you decide what hosting is best for you.

Website Tip!
|
|
If you have just a one or two-page site, your current ISP may
even allow you to publish it with them for free! If you need to have your own "dot.com" name, then you will want to look
at paying for monthly hosting. If you don't need great reliability and if you don't mind ads being placed on your page
(which you receive nothing for), they you should check out a free host.
