What
is Web hosting?
Web hosting allows your Web site to be connected to the Internet at
high speed via a Web server so its information can be viewed globally
through a browser. Metaphorically speaking, renting space on a server
is comparable to renting an apartment. For a monthly fee, you reside
in that apartment, and all maintenance is the responsibility of the
property. You also have access to certain amenities that would otherwise
be a costly investment. A Web hosting company houses your Web site on
its own secure servers, enabling you to affordably leverage the power
of a high-speed network, 24/7 expert monitoring and support, and state-of-the-art
technology.
What
are the steps involved in creating and publishing a Web site to the
Internet?
Register
Your Domain Name
The Web address you type into your browser to pull up a specific Web
site is called its domain name, which is distributed through an Internet
address registrar. Because thousands of Web sites are being published
to the Internet on a weekly basis, it is important to register your
domain name before you start to design your site, as the name you select
will determine its look and feel. We can handle the registration process
internally from start-to-finish, helping you choose a name to fit your
business needs.
Design
Your Web Site
Once you have selected your domain name, the next step is deciding if
you want your site designed professionally through a firm such as MICROLINQ,
or if you want to try it on your own with a Web site creation tool.
