Article / Definition: Site Hosting / Hosting Plans

Site hosting is similar to renting a business location from a landlord: they supply the space, power, water etc., but you remodel to create your business. For web sites, you rent a hosting plan which provides a computer, software, disk space, Internet connections and an "Internet address" for your web site. Similar to renting business real estate, you can pay low rent or high rent, but you usually get better service and options by paying a bit more. Once you have established a hosted site (e.g. an Internet business address), you can associate your Domain Name(s) with your new web site address and design and build your site.

NetWorthy Designs does NOT provide Web Site Hosting, but we can recommend acceptable site hosting vendors.
