What are the benefits of having a web site?

A website can reach out to new markets or it can help retain your current customers. It can act as a multi page advertisement or it can be an online business that generates its own income. It can act as a meeting place, a resource center or even entertain. If you need to advertise, inform, sell, communicate or entertain then a website can be built to fit the bill.

An advantage of the web compared to traditional media is availability. The web is available 24 hours a day to a global audience. This creates an opportunity to provide valuable information for your customers. A professionally designed website can:

• act as a multi page advertisement
• display the products and services you provide
• enable customers to purchase goods or services
• convey branding identity and promote trust
• develop customer loyalty through the provision of services
• provide contact information or direct contact through email

What is Web Hosting?

All the files for your website are kept on one or more computers called web servers. The server computer is said to be a host for your site. In other words, they look after your site and ensure it is available 24/7.

The web hosting requirements for any site vary according to the technology used to create it. The standard of the service can vary greatly from one company to the next. The speed and reliability of service are crucial as is the level of customer support provided.
