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.
How can I set up a new account?
You can easily set up a new account through our online portal at http://my.i-tul.com.

Filed under I-Tul, hosting | Comment (0)Important: Net Neutrality
Net neutrality is of utmost importance to all of our customers. Basically, right now all web content is delivered equitably regardless of the source. But, some ISPs would like to change the world so that sites would pay them more to get priority delivery. Other sites would simply load slowly or not at all.
This would substantially raise the cost of doing business on the Internet and make it almost impossible to compete with an ISPs own products. IE: if you offered the same program, like photo sharing, that Yahoo does, theres would always load faster. Unless, you pay more, probably a lot more, to play with the big boys. Keep this in mind at at time when Google is controlling more content, like people’s medical records & Microsoft is looking to by Yahoo.
There is a long way to go before this is over. But, if you have any interest in doing business on the web, you should fight for Net Neutrality. Right now, call your politicians and let them know you care about preserving net neutrality.

Whose Web Is It, Anyway?
An FCC hearing this week sparks a new debate on ‘Net neutrality.’
By Brian Braiker | Newsweek Web Exclusive
magine an alternative reality in which you attempt to do a routine online search. In this Bizarro World, your Internet service provider (which happens to be one of the four top dogs: Comcast, AT&T, Verizon or Time Warner) has a deal with Yahoo, but not Google. You try your search on Google first but notice the page loads very slowly. Impatient, you try again on Yahoo, which is running noticeably faster. Over time, you default to Yahoo’s apparently faster search engine whenever you look something up.
Welcome to one vision of a world without “Net neutrality.” In the neutral Internet of today, we’re accustomed to accessing any Web site at any time, at the fastest speed available. This applies to corporate sites as much as it does to start-ups and individuals. For now the virtual playing field is fairly level.
…
In what may be a watershed moment for the Net neutrality debate, on Monday the Federal Communications Commission held a public hearing at Harvard Law School to determine whether Comcast was manipulating its network traffic in a “reasonable” manner. (Watch it here.) “There wasn’t a lot of argument over the facts of the case: they were slowing down BitTorrent,” says David Weinberger, a research fellow at Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for the Internet & Society. “The question is: is this a violation of policy, and if so what happens to Comcast and more importantly what happens to the policy?” A spokesman for the FCC would not speculate on when the commission would issue a decision. Also this week, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo issued a subpoena asking Comcast for “information” (a Cuomo spokesman declined to elaborate to NEWSWEEK).
