Are you thinking about getting a website for your business? Have you researched what company or person will design the site you need for your business or service. Do you know what features are necessary for your site to perform the way it needs to?

So your next question is: Now that your website is complete how do you get your site online so potential customers have access to it? That is what web hosting is for.

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 is the process that allows you to upload your files using a transfer protocol onto a web server which puts your design online at your web address.

When you are using the internet and you type in the domain you are taken to the server that stores the files. When you contract a web hosting company you are basically leasing the server space from them. This server space is what allows you to access the internet on an ongoing basis.

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 sites will require a hosting service for you to get the access you need for your site. Web hosting companies can be found throughout the country from Los Angeles to New York City. This allows you to compare different companies to find one that has the best deal or is the best fit for your website.

Now that you know more about hosting, you can have peace of mind when shopping around for the best deal on what you need for your site.
