Webhosts
A web host is a company who makes your website accessible via the Internet. The host does this by storing your web site on a powerful computer (a server) which is connected to the Internet via a data connection capable of transmitting and receiving information at a rapid rate. As all servers are connected by similar means, when a web surfer wishes to see your website, the server sends them the information they requested through a complex network of telephone cables, fibre optic cables and even satellites. Although the connection to the computer which stores the web site you wish to view may be many thousands of miles away, this request only takes milliseconds! Maintaining a web server is a difficult and time-consuming task. By working with a web host, you no longer have to worry about that aspect and can focus on building and promoting your website. Essentially, you will be renting space on the web host's server for your web site. This not only saves you the headache of running your own server, it is far less expensive than purchasing one! I have spent countless hours researching, reviewing, and comparing numerous webhosting companies in my quest to find the "perfect" webhost. The web hosting industry has become increasingly competitive and there are a myriad of companies out there battling for your business - but some won't definitely have you or your business interests in mind. Cheap web site hosting definitely doesn't mean the best hosting and neither does signing up with the most expensive companies guarantee you the best service - it's a confusing world of solutions, smoke and mirrors. Competition's a great thing, but the frenzied levels of promotion has also forced a number of hosts to use questionable marketing tactics and a heavy load of activity-restricting fine print in their contracts. Many web-hosting companies don't make profits by establishing a solid customer base, but rather by having a high turnover. The more customers they can have signing up and then dropping off, the more dollars they make. Of course, not all hosting services take this attitude and there are some solid companies that respect and encourage their clients.
