Resources for Web Hosting

• A web host is a company which allows you to rent space on their specially configured computers. Your web pages are placed on these computers, in order to make them visible by people browsing the web.
  
  If you have a good quality Internet connection, it is also possible to run a web server on your own computer(s). Your computer will of course need to be running all the time.
  
  Here are some web hosting resources:

  Here are some links to a few selected, affordable, web hosting companies:
  • ThinkHost
    While we no longer use them (not because we were unhappy, but because we no longer needed their service), we did have 3 web sites installed at ThinkHost for two years. I can honestly say that I was very happy with their service, and that the servers was solid and reliable. If you're looking for a good quality affordable web host, I think they could be a good choice.
