Questions About Your Hosting
How does hosting work?
  Whenever you have a registered domain name and an accompanying Web site, you will need to place them on a dedicated Web server. This provides access 24 hours per day via high-speed communications hardware for fast downloads by Web visitors. Because you are using someone else's equipment, you must lease these services for a monthly fee.
What happens when a visitor types in my Web address?
  The visitor connects to your Home page on your hosting provider's computer where your domain name (www.yourcompany.com) is parked. To find the other pages on your Web site, the user must either click on links from the Home page or type each page's exact Web address. The actual process that goes on behind the scenes is very similar to making a phone call. This happens through a series of steps using your hosting provider's and your Web visitor's telecommunications equipment.
Why not use my own in-house services?
  The main reason is cost. To go your own direction would be prohibitive. The hosting provider I use provides the fastest and most reliable hardware and telecommunications equipment. This also includes a staff of professionals who monitor and maintain this service around the clock. All this at a fraction of the costs needed to purchase your own.
What is the monthly hosting costs?
  Each month you are billed for using my business hosting services. Payments are by VISA or Master Card unless both parties have agreed upon other arrangements. A one time annual payment is offered providing an additional 10% savings on hosting fees.
How long does it take to use your hosting services?
  If you do not have a registered domain, it takes 48 - 72 hours to become active. If you already have a registered domain, it takes about 5 business days to transfer your domain from your current name server to mine.
