HOSTING

Once your site is created, you need a host. A host is a machine that rents you space on the internet ... kind of like a parking space for your car.

Some internet providers, SHAW for example, include limited free web space as part of the package. Others do not. Generally, these free spaces are limited in size and functionality and usually part of the agreement is that they are not to be used for business purposes. For instance, a database (required for shopping cart systems) is not an option if you are using free web space (unless you choose to use the system designed by PayPal.) They are also not as reliable and can have down time ... something that may cost you business if you are relying on having your site running 24/7. Another deficiency is that you are only allowed one email address.

More importantly, experience has shown me that if you want to be indexed quickly by Google and Yahoo, it is better to have a paid host.

But if your site is small and not too complicated, you may decide that your free space is enough ... I can upload your site there so you don't pay an extra hosting fee.

Optimally, I recommend that you have your site on a host because the site will perform better, be more dependable, allow you to have better enhancements and if you need to be ranked with a search engine, such as Google, you will achieve a better ranking score. Really, it is not too expensive, starting at $7.95/month.
