Understanding
Web Hosting
A web host is how you publish your site so that other people
can view it. Basic Web Hosting allows you to publish static
pages on your web server for your viewing audience.
Features of a web hosting plan include:
Bandwidth |
| |
Bandwidth
is a measure of how much information is transmitted by
your web site. Similar to making a long distance call,
you pay for bandwidth use. Hosting plans come with a certain
amount of bandwidth prepaid, and as long as you do not
exceed the bandwidth budget of your hosting plan, you
will not pay extra costs. |

|
Mail
Accounts  |
| |
Individual
mail accounts or mailboxes allow you to establish different
identities for you and your employees. |
| |
|
Storage |
| |
This
is physical disk space used to store your web site on the
server. It is generally measured in MB (MegaBytes). |
| |
|
Web
Logs  |
| |
Web Log analysis gives you the ability to examine the
details of how your web site is performing. This information
allows you to know where your visitors are coming from
and how they traverse through your site. Many inexpensive
hosting companies do not give you access to this information,
and without it you will not have the ability to get
the greatest potential from your web site.

|
Secure
Server  |
| |
The secure server lets people transmit personal information
over the Internet so that no one else can read that
information during transmission.
