Web Hosting - Welcoming Businesses Online

Web hosting is a service for modern businesses to use to get their website up and rolling. Many web hosts handle online traffic flow and web content. Many businesses do not have these services internally to maintain these functions on their own. A good web host handles even the largest website needs ranging from e-commerce to bandwidth for an existing or developing company.

The cost to use a website host does not need to cost a lot. The three main services that cost the most from a web host include:

1. Domain name registration, This is usually a small annual charge, from $10-30, depending on the options chosen.

2. Web site hosting Typically a monthly charge from $10 upwards, depending on the capacity and facilities required

3. Web site development and support This is highly variable depending on the scope and purpose of the website, and the website development technology used.

A few web hosts offer a domain name for free. Some ISP's even offer free webspace, but this will have only basic capabilities, little space and retain little permanency. This can be useful for beginners though.

You want to pick a web host that is completely reliable, especially if the site will be used by big businesses. Big businesses can't risk downtime or a website that has lots of kinks. Also, big businesses want to know that their domain is well hosted at all times and uses the best resources to keep it going smoothly.

Web hosts offer websites of various sizes. The more space available for a website, the more capacity for web pages and the information they can contain. Since not every business has employees who know how to program pages or create intricate layouts with wonderfully arranged graphics, many businesses seek a web host that offers pre-made templates with easy to follow insertions that quickly load new information. Another resource that many businesses want from a web host involves tracking visitor's movements inside their site. For this reason, many web hosts sell accompanying web statistic packages. Ecommerce is a wonderful resource needed to ensure that visitors can communicate with the website company, ask for help, place orders or request information such as newsletter via email.

A business that wishes to design its own website needs also to understand which software is compatible with the web host's arrangements. Can you use a FTP program such as FTP Voyager? Are you to stick with FrontPage? How you download your business' pages can be different from web host to web host. For instance, is there a particular file structure you need to adopt for your domain? Are there specific extensions which require to be used for tracking?

Learning to maintain your business' website can be elementary or highly complicated depending on the facilities provided by your web host, and the web development software you adopt. While many secretaries can learn to maintain web content after some beginner training sessions, some websites require a computer programmer onsite or additional support services from a web host.
