Every web site needs a host, a home on a computer where it resides. This computer can be next door or on another continent! Finding a great web host can be challenging. Reliability, features and cost are the three main considerations. Our hosting provides rock-solid reliability, the features you need, and low cost. The best of all possible online worlds!

There are many companies specializing in hosting web sites. Customers rent space on the computers operated by the Hosting company and link that location to their Domain Name. Thanks to the standard protocols that the Internet is built on, this system is invisible to your site's visitors.

Every web site is made up of files. There are text files for the pages, and image files for the pictures. You can also have other files as part of your site, such as files to download or movies to play. Some sites are small - 10MB (megabytes) or smaller, while some are quite large. A major site, like a large retailer's, can be thousands of megabytes.

Hosting companies describe the plans they offer using two major factors: the amount of space for your site and the amount of Data Transfer for your site needs, per month. Data Transfer is the total amount of all the files from your web site that are sent as people visit your site.

There are other considerations. If you're planning on selling your work or products, you'll need a shopping system, plus the ability to take payments. If you're selling a large number of products, you may want to link your web site pages to a database of all your products, so you can easily change what's available. Most Hosts offer these kinds of items as part of their Hosting plans.
