WEB HOSTING
Step three of the acquisition and maintenance of a website is web hosting. After you register your domain and build your website, you have to show it to the world by storing it in a computer (that will never, never go off) and publishing it. Publishing a website is a difficult, complicated process that requires computer expertise. You can store and publish your website in your own personal desktop or laptop computer in your office or home, but the appropriate type of computer in doing that is called WEB SERVER, or simply, SERVER. A server is a special type of computer used in storing websites and showing (serving) them to anybody in the world who asks to see them. A server can hold millions of websites at a time, depending on the size of the server and the websites.
Whether you use a server or your personal computer, you need to have and know how to install and maintain the software used in doing so. You also need to know how to use computer programming language(s) to install necessary plug-ins and server-side applications your website might need. But servers are very expensive in comparison with ordinary computers, so expensive that they cannot be afforded by the average computer user. That is why big companies who can afford them buy, not one but hundreds and thousands of servers and set them up to store, protect and serve other peoples websites for a small fee. The service these big companies render is what is known today as WEB HOSTING and those companies are called WEB HOSTS. An Internet service company can be a Domain Registrar or Web Host or both.
Your domain name and the beautiful website built for it will not be useful unless you have a way of showing them to the world, not only for a few minutes or a few hours but every second, every minute, 24 hours/7 days; and that is where we come in as Web Hosts.

After registering your domain name and building your website, we publish it and keep it visible and secure in the blazing fast servers of our hosting infrastructure in multiple locations to make sure security and up-time are guaranteed. Then anybody anywhere in the world can type www.yourownname.com and see your website anytime they connect to the Internet.
Web hosting is one of the package elements included in our all-in-one service. After your website is published and is visible to the whole world, you can have total control over your website and its e-mail accounts because, if you so request, we will give you the link to enter and control and manage everything about your site yourself. On your request, too, we can continue maintaining your site for as long as you wish, because website maintenance takes time and effort. Many times one tries to access a website and one sees on the screen a message like: 'This website is temporarily disabled...' or '404 - Page Not Found' Such messages are programmed to appear instead of the regular website, in 99% of the cases, because the owner of the website has failed to renew either the domain name or the web hosting or both after expiration. Therefore our advice to all owners of websites who do not have the time or the know-how to maintain their site and do not want their site to disappear is: Contract it out to the experts!
