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.
