Web Hosting is what you need when you want to make
a website visible for everyone on the internet to see. Simply put, your website
needs to be "hosted" somewhere on a server. You could setup your home
computer as a server, but that wouldn't make much sense if you plan on
generating a lot of traffic or "hits" for your site. This is because
firstly, your computer must ALWAYS be on AND connected to the internet for your
website to be accessible by others via the internet. If it's off, no one will
see it. Secondly, running your own server can be a complicated task (if you're unfamiliar with server software, etc) resulting in downtimes that may take a lot of time and energy to correct. Thirdly, your home or business's internet connection is not likely adequate to host your own site.... especially if you want to achieve lots of traffic to your site. At best, you may have a cable modem connection, or even a T-1 connection (very rare among small businesses). For the above reasons, the vast majority of companies and individuals with a website, out-source their Web Hosting needs to Web Hosting companies like Login ComTech. You get an "always-on" internet connection, a team of internet professionals to keep your website up and running, and a super-high bandwidth connection to the internet (many hundred times faster than a cable modem). When you get a Web Hosting account from Login ComTech, you are given access to a portion of one of our servers. This is done by assigning you a unique username and password which you use to connect to your hosting account. Once a connection is established, you simply "upload" your website files to their server, and PRESTO... your website is instantly visible on the internet for millions of people to see!
