Web Hosting Q & A
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is renting space on a web server where your web site lives. Web hosting often includes hosting of email accounts, databases and software applications, like blogs.
Are my web host and my ISP the same thing?
No, your ISP is your internet service provider and they connect your home or office to the internet. Your web host is a spate service.
How much does web hosting cost?
The cost depends on the type of service. For most people a shard hosting account will be the best choice for hosting web site and email. Shared hosting can be based on Windows or Linux. Both options are 17.95 a month.
I-Tul also hosts Virtual Private Servers (VPS) and Dedicated servers. These are the best choices for high-traffic site, line of business applications and other zero down time and load balanced needs.
Does it matter who hosts my site?
Yes, your host matters because this relates to the services provide, how fast your site loads, and the kind of customer service you receive. Also, on occasion I hear horror stories of hosts that hold sites captive. Be sure to choose a host, like I-Tul, that is professional and ethical.
