By Karen E. Weems


So you have done all the investigative work on getting a website for your business. You have researched what company you want to design the best possible website for you needs and you have also chosen what features are necessary for your website to perform the way you want it to.

Then the next question: How do you get you website online for people to view after it has been created? That is where web hosting comes in handy.

When you choose a designer he or she codes your site for web compatibility, however until you have a hosting connection only the computer that the file is on can actually see the website. You will need a way to broadcast your site on the internet.

Web hosting allows you to upload your files for your web site using and FTP (file transfer protocol) server. This server puts your information online via your domain address.

When you type a web address in your internet browser you are taken to the server that stores the file for that particular website. When you hire a web hosting company you are basically renting space from them on their server to provide an internet connection to your website.

Depending on the amount of data your site has there are several options available to you. Some ISPs (Internet service providers) can provide internet access to you for free or for a very small fee.

Larger web sites may require a hosting service to get the required access you need. Web hosting companies have a national presence that goes from coast to coast. You can effectively compare the features of each hosting company to get the best deal and choose one that suits your needs.

Now that you know a little more about how web hosting works, you can shop around and get the best product for you and your website.
