What is Web hosting?
Web hosting allows your Web site to be connected to a high speed Internet connection (hundred of times faster than an Internet connection at home) which allows anyone in the world to look at your website. Using a Web server which is a high end computer that will "serve" your web site to people that want to view your site in their browser. 

You are renting space on this high end computer and is basically the same as renting an apartment. For a monthly fee, you reside in an apartment, and all maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner. You also have access to certain amenities that would otherwise be a costly investment. 

Your landlord charges you a monthly rent and so does a web hosting company. We charge a monthly rent for the space of your website and also for making it available to anyone who wants to view it 24 hours per day, seven days per week. We take care of the computer maintenance while you or your webmaster takes care of your website.  That means that you will provide the information that you want other people to see. Here are some steps to showing you how to host a web site:

1. Decide what name you want to use on the Internet.
   This name is called a Domain Name (www.your-name.com). If you are going to sell Candy then you might choose a name like www.susiescandyshoppe.com or www.candyexpress.com.  You want to have a few names in mind since they go very fast.  Anyone in the world can register a new name at anytime. 
   
   To see what name is available click here and this will take you to a page where you can check on your name.  If it is available then it is time to register it so it will be yours and yours only.  You can register the name for 1 to 10 years.  The longer you register the name the better price you will pay.
   
   
2. Design Your Web Site
   Once you have selected and registered your Domain Name then you need to design your website. You can either do it yourself or have your site designed professionally.
   
   If you decide to do it yourself then you can use any number of website programs such as Microsoft FrontPage, Dream weaver or Net Objects Fusion. Click this link for more information.
