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.

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.
