 Web site hosting involves storing your web site on one of our
state-of-the-art servers, allowing the world to view your site on the World Wide Web.
Essentially, a server is a high speed
computer which can process requests from the World Wide Web community and serve requested
pages to other computers. When remote users on the World Wide Web type in your web site
address (URL), the server will transmit the contents of your home page to the requesting
computer.

Typically, web servers are high speed
Pentium machines running under the Microsoft NT platform. They are connected to the
backbone of the internet using a high speed communication line (usually a T1 or T3 line). All data on our servers is regularly backed up. In addition, we
constantly monitor the speed and capacity of our servers to ensure immediate response.
Through this configuration, anyone
connected to the internet can access your web site. With the millions of web sites
available however, one may ask a good question, how will anyone find my site? That is
where search engines and directories come into play as we shall find out next.
