What
is Web Hosting
Simply stated,
web hosting is the practice of outsourcing the storage,
hardware and software requirements for your Web site. When
you have your Web site hosted, you are actually renting
space on a server that is external to your business, 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.
For a
New Web Site
Web hosting provides an easy way to establish a cost-effective,
high performance site. We provide top-of-the-line servers
and high speed network access that most individual companies
would find difficult to cost justify. Our high performance
service means that your customers will be able to access
and browse your Web site quickly, even during peak demand
periods.
For
an Existing Web Site
Web hosting provides an attractive solution for a site
that has grown in size and importance. By moving a high
traffic Web site off of your corporate network, you can
improve the performance of both your network and your
Web site. And as your Web site becomes an increasingly
strategic, our Web hosting service is engineered to provide
the performance, reliability, and redundancy you require.
The
most common web hosting question is, "What are the
steps involved in creating and publishing a Web site to
the Internet?" (For
other web hosting questions, visit the Hosting FAQ)
- 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. SpeedyISP.net
can handle the registration process internally from start-to-finish.
- 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 company such as SpeedyISP.net, or if you want
to try it on your own with a Web site creation tool, such
as Microsoft FrontPage. SpeedyISP.net's Web design team
will provide you with the proper technical and creative
talent to successfully plan, build and launch your Web
site. We will work closely with you to customize your
Web site to best fit your business strategy, performance
and operational requirements. SpeedyISP.net will soon
also be offering three-page and five-page Web site templates
as a cost-effective, timely way of building an online
presence.
- Host
Your Web Site
As soon as your site is designed, you need to choose a
Web hosting company like SpeedyISP.net to connect it to
the Internet. SpeedyISP.net combines state-of-the-art
technology with a true commitment to your on-line success
to provide you with affordable Microsoft Windows NT/2000
hosting solutions. Whether you are simply wanting a personal

your Web presence with a database-driven, sophisticated
e-commerce storefront, SpeedyISP.net offers a hosting
plan to fit your needs.
