Renting a Web Space With the proliferation of free web server

accounts offered on the web or with ISP internet access, clients new to the web often wonder why one should pay extra for the commodity.

When considering where to host your website, you generally have four choices depending on your needs and resources.

1. Rent shared server space2. Lease a server3. Host your own server4. Free web hosting

1) Rent Shared Server Space The cheapest option, you pay a small monthly

fee and get some server space on a hosting network servicing

10 - 100 other accounts. Everyone has their own domain name and a virtual IP address, but the headache of keeping the server working 24/7 is left to the expert at your hosting network.

2) Leasing a Server For sites with major league hits or

desiring more server CPU speed (for lots of audio/video streaming, real time chat, etc.),

you can lease a server from a hosting company.

Leased servers are dedicated just to your site and maintained 24/7 by qualified network engineers at your hosting network center.

3) Free Hosting No cost No service warranty / guarantee Normally comes with advertisement Limited space

4) Host Your Own Server Requires some technical skill and the desire to

handle all the headaches of keeping your website working,

it is possible to host your own web server. Via a DSL or CableModem connection, Best if you have fixed IP address (dynamic IP

also possible). PCs can easily be turned into web servers. This option does require a two-way broadband

connection (upload and download speeds are equivalent).

Everything concerning the web server becomes your responsibility - especially network security.
